Do you and your significant other usually go to bed at the same time?  Or do YOU go to bed . . . and they stay up all night watching YouTube or repetitive segments on ESPN or HGTV?

According to a new report, the average couple often has a "bedtime gap" of 80 minutes, which is an hour and 20 minutes . . . or roughly two episodes of "Shark Tank".  (???)

That extra "me-time" might be nice for unwinding . . . but the report found that couples with fewer bedtime gaps tend to be happier together.  And "very happy" couples go to bed together about four times per week.  (Compared to once a week for less-than-happy couples.)

71% of couples who are BOTH night owls . . . and 78% of couples who are BOTH early birds . . . say they're "very happy" in their relationship. That's compared to 59% of couples with one night owl and one early bird.

There was a difference based on age, though.  Younger couples find it more important to lessen the bedtime gap, while it matters less to older folks.
