Calling a home after 9:00 PM?

When I was growing up it was always drilled into me not to call homes after 9:00, on the off chance that anyone might be going to bed at such an impossibly early hour. I have found one example of this in my whole life. A woman I dated in college told me her parents actually did go to bed at 9:00 every night; I found this out one night when I called her around 10 and she hissed never to do that again.

My wife and I often go to bed at nine, and I can’t remember the last time we weren’t in bed by a quarter to ten. We also follow the 9 o’clock rule.

I’ve always gone by the 9pm rule. And it’s best you don’t call me after 9pm either, 'cause we go to bed at 9 (up at 4:30 or 5:30).
