I’m 26 and I’m in bed by 8:15. I’m not asleep until like 9:30, but my dogs go to bed around 8 and they freak out if I don’t go into my room after they’re in their crates for the night.
My dogs are as close to kids as I’ll get. The one is 16 months and the other is 4 months, so they’re both still very much puppies lol. The older one is a beagle and they don’t start acting like grown-ups until they’re like 3.
When they go in their crates and I continue to do stuff around the house, both dogs want to join me because they like to be my helpers. I’ve learned to get stuff done before their bedtime and have some time to relax by myself when they go to bed. The beagle also has bad anxiety, so he bays of he thinks I’m leaving. The other one, a goldendoodle, just copies the beagle so she howls when he bays.

That sounds…even more restrictive than having kids…
