In the footage, Michelle spoke about how Barack often teases her for going to bed early.
"Bedtime is the best time of the day," she said.
"My husband teases me about how early I can go to bed. He doesn't understand the idea of getting into some good sheets and it being cool," she shared.
She added that while she enjoys socializing when guests are over, she loves winding down after dinner.
"The minute we finish up, I’m trying not to go to bed before the sun goes down," Michelle noted.

Michelle Obama also spoke about raising her daughters, Malia and Sasha, and the importance of a structured bedtime routine when they were young.
"The girls, they were good sleepers," she shared.
"Bath time, seven-o-clock, bedtime 7:30, and then I had at least a couple of hours where nobody was asking me for anything. Maybe that’s where I got the early bedtime from!" said Michelle.
Kylie Kelce, who is expecting her fourth daughter with NFL star Jason Kelce, responded with admiration, "That’s lovely."
