You answered your own question? It sound like everyone else was sleeping.

It's odd to suggest that people will have enough time to exercise if they just cut into their bedtime. Is the idea here that you sleep in the next morning, and then your wife wakes up earlier to take up your slack?

Is this your suggested solution for everyone? Increase your free time to exercise by reducing someone else's?

You don't exercise in your free time, just like you don't work in your free time.

edit: No, I do it in the time I set aside to exercise.

This might seem foreign to you but to me it's no different from someone saying "I need £100 to pay the rent" and so they make time and find a way to pay the bills (usually a job). They don't "work in their free time", they structure their life around it because income is important to them.

Right, you exercise in your bedtime instead.

My point is that everyone is lifting excuses instead of lifting weights! Get to the gym and stop complaining

Do you tell your wife to get to the gym and stop complaining when you go off to exercise without her at 10pm?

No I communicate with my wife and tell her things
