Being woken by a spouse who comes to bed later ...
Any spouse who comes to bed later is honor-bound to slip in as silently as a shadow, having brushed teeth etc. in a bathroom whose light does NOT shine directly on the bed.

But I sympathize; in years past, I would wake up no matter what. Now I sleep heavily for that first short period of time and then all bets are off. Unless I have a night like most of the nights this week, where I didn't get woken up because I never went to sleep.
