I wait all day to get back into bed

Oh God I love snuggling down in bed, all cosy with tv on or phone or a good book, cup of tea, it's lovely.

I think that 🤷‍♀️ depressed people can still enjoy things!

I too love bed time.
Whippet on bed and peaceful-
It’s definitely a winter thing.
A freshly made bed- new sheets - gorgeous!

IMO there is nothing more comforting than getting into bed early ( especially on clean sheet night 😍) with a good book and forgetting about everything. I sometimes have to force myself to stay up till 7 p.m! Definitely feels stranger in the summer when it stays light, but on a dark winters night-bliss!
equally I like getting up early too- 😌😌

I was asking the OP, not for other's opinions.

I think about it every day, it's nothing to do with weather because my home is warm and cosy. I just like bed and sleep. Not bothered about phone though have it handy in case anyone rings or I need to make a call.

I’m like that. I’m exhausted from when I get up. Just can’t wait to get into bed.

Just been started on a thyroid tablet and doc is testing my blood for deficiency so I’m hoping that it’s an easy fix. 😴

Getting into bed at the end of the day is the best feeling. No more jobs to do, just relax.

That sounds amazing!

I think you like simple things. Like the thought of a cup of tea makes me happy. Not everything has to be flashy, expensive, busy to be enjoyable. I'm the same. I hate sitting in my day clothes when home. Immediately in pj's. I enjoy a nap and sleep so much that even my 5 year old son is the same. He asks to go for a nap or to cuddle up in bed "all warm and cosy" he says. If we all liked the same things, we would all be the same people. Nothing wrong with it. I do enjoy it more in winter only because I struggle with the cold and circulation and getting my hands and feet toasty is a relief.

I love getting into bed, being in bed. One of my most favourite places. I jump into bed early often. I don't see this as a problem.

My nan used to say " lovely old bed" (we shared a 4 feet bed!) as child on weekend sleep overs. I think it's natural. Been quite a cold winter, dark ss early and you need a 2nd mortgage to run the heating properly. Sleep well OP and enjoy your bed

I'm the same

I don’t know, I think if it’s not regular than yes, totally normal, but a daily thing … I’ve been there and then thought surely it’s not great for your whole day to be centred towards the getting out of the day part? Especially on the kids, as in I can’t wait for the bit they’re in bed? Which sounds extreme but it was essentially what I was thinking

I could stay in bed forever! its my security blanket! nothing better than getting on, pja on and getting in bed

Well I’ve been up 30 mins and already can’t wait to finish work, get in pjs and chill when everything else is sorted ! It’s what winters all about 🥰

Have spent the whole week in bed. I'm not ill or depressed. I get up early, have a shower and clean the house, then go back to bed. I have internet, t.v. books, snacks and my two cats. I feel as if I've been on holiday.

What’s wrong with that? Having a scroll of your phone in the evening is as acceptable as watching TV. OP didn’t say she was scrolling until 1am, she said she loves her sleep.

I love getting into bed of an evening. Just me and teen DD so no-one to complain to me if I get into bed at 8pm! DD and I often watch something on the tv in my bedroom. Love my fleecy duvet and the dog snuggles up (currently 2 dogs as I seem to have inherited friends dog too as she is sadly very unwell in hospital, soon to be hospice). I do like going to bed early in summer too, but I often feel then I should be doing stuff, whereas in winter never feel like that. I do have a good social life, but most of it during the day now i’m approaching 50! Love the theatre, but prefer the matinee’s, same for pub lunches or will go 5-6pm for an evening meal so not late back. Hate getting in after 9pm!

OP I've never seen it expressed/explained quite so clearly but yes I am absolutely in your camp! I tell my family that "pre bed" is pretty much the best time of my day haha!

The words 'with my phone' worry me a bit - are you constantly scrolling?

I’m the same, if I can sneak back into it in the daytime I will. I think I was a hedgehog in a previous life because I do have an overwhelming urge to just stay in bed in winter!

I share this joy OP. I think it is just a place where you can retreat and recover from what is a busy life and the constant demands of others. We are always on the go, work, house, kids and then technology means we never switch off. Bed is my quiet, cozy space the only time of the day when I can get some peace.

I'm with you.

DH and I work long hours. I work a mix of days and nights. We are child free Monday and Tuesday and have been known to be in bed very early with a box set, flask of tea and hot water bottles if we are both off work. It's our little bubble.

This is normal!
This, is peak adulting 😂
Winter me, and summer me, are different people. I accept that 😂
