Cultural Note
Due to Spain's late dinner and evening culture, acostarse before midnight is unusual for many Spaniards, especially on weekends. The nightly routine of going to bed together is an important bonding time for couples. The expression 'acostarse con las gallinas' (to go to bed with the chickens) means going to bed very early and is often used humorously.
