I’ve (22F) been with my boyfriend (24M) for 3 years and living together for 1. He’s a big morning person and gets up before 6 most mornings. I’m the complete opposite in that regard and like to sleep until 8 or 9 on weekdays, but no later than 10 on the weekends.
He obviously realized that I’d rather sleep much later than him when we first got together, but it only became a problem after we moved in together. Since then, he has become obsessed with trying to "fix" my sleep schedule so that I get up as early as he does.
He has done things like turn on all the lights and pull the covers off the bed, set a ridiculous amount of alarms to go off every minute after 5am, and once poured a glass of cold water on me. He would understand if he was sleeping regularly until the afternoon, but I don’t see a problem with a couple of extra hours.
He has stopped trying to make me get up every day at 6am, but last week I made the mistake of saying that he would be fine if he woke me up earlier (mainly because he annoys her so much). Every day he tries to pick a fight for when I get up, track how many hours I sleep, and affirm that my body doesn’t need as much sleep.
I don’t know what else to tell him that would make him understand that I don’t see it as a problem and I definitely don’t need him to try to micromanage me. Tonight I went to bed at 9, much earlier than usual, and he came into the room and turned on all the lights to ask me when he planned to get me up tomorrow.
He didn’t like it when I told him he would wake me up when he used to and I tried to argue about it but I kept telling him to turn off the lights and let me sleep until he gave up. Do I really sleep too much? What can I say that he would make me let this go?
Everything else in our relationship is amazing, should I put up with it even if I can’t see his side? Tl;dr. I like to sleep in, but my boyfriend keeps trying to make me a morning person like him.

It's a dandy construe and many of the pieces of information in the volume are extremely insightful – especially ones who are sensing for it. It's shaft scripted, cosmopolitan and not inharmonious.
