Growing up with a strict bedtime vs my husband had none. Which was better?

I had a 7 pm bedtime until age 12 and now I can fall asleep anywhere anytime. My husband stayed up till 11 pm and he still needs total silence and darkness to sleep. Which approach do you think shaped you better long term?

Team strict bedtime, makes adulthood way easier.

Strict bedtime is the cheat code for adulting for real. Your whole day goes smoother when you're not running on fumes from staying up too late scrolling. I have friends who brag about going to bed at 2am and then wonder why they're always crashing by noon. Once you lock in a solid routine, everything from work to workouts just clicks into place. What time do you usually aim for lights out?

Ask them straight up: how do they handle the days when work or life throws a wrench in that perfect bedtime plan? I'm curious if they just power through or have some backup routine for those late nights.
