early to bed

Sensible nighttime habit

Early to bed describes the habit of going to sleep at an earlier hour than typical, often with implications of virtuous routine or good health.

The phrase usually appears as part of the proverb early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise, but stands alone as shorthand for disciplined sleep habits: I'm an early to bed person.
