If you felt tired at 8pm, would you go to bed for the night or just have a nap?

I'd try to stay awake until about 10pm at least unless I felt ill otherwise I know I'd wake up in the early hours.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 21/08/2018 20:02

Bed or try to stay awake a bit longer. Way too late to nap.

youarenotkiddingme · 21/08/2018 20:06

I'd fall asleep on the sofa watch something good on tv until 9/10 ish

MrsJayy · 21/08/2018 20:10

I am fighting sleep --like a toddler I am really cranky Blush but going to go bed at 9 I wouldn't nap at 8

HolyMountain · 21/08/2018 20:12

I’d be in bed for the night .

I’m in bed for 9.00 most nights anyway, I’m up early in the morning , it’s the way my body clock works.

ShesABelter · 21/08/2018 20:13

I am on here fighting sleep till about 9.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 21/08/2018 20:13

Bed for the night. Definitely.

Livinglavidal0ca · 21/08/2018 20:15

Bed.

Astrid2 · 21/08/2018 20:15

I'm often in bed between 8 and 9! Wouldn't consider a nap past 5.

Rockbird · 21/08/2018 20:16

Bed definitely. I'd read or watch something for a while though.

TheGhostOfYou · 21/08/2018 20:18

I'd fight it, I won't go to bed before 10 as I sleep rubbish if I go early, and I definitely couldn't nap so late.

Clairetree1 · 21/08/2018 20:20

bed!

Thishatisnotmine · 21/08/2018 20:22

Bed. Don't nap thislate! Oh, bed at 8pm because I am tired. I can but dream.

Millie2013 · 21/08/2018 20:23

Bed! I love my bed 😍

ShowOfHands · 21/08/2018 20:25

Bed. No question. I've had a few DC free nights in the last few weeks (DH away, children at various sleepovers). I am in bed by 8pm with a good book and drift off before 9pm. It's bliss.

bringincrazyback · 21/08/2018 20:26

Bed would win every time, I suffer from chronic fatigue and I'm often in bed by 8 on a bad day. Also evening naps are really hard to properly wake up from, I just grant myself permission to go to bed if I'm tired and have no obligations to fulfil.

Frouby · 21/08/2018 20:27

I would get in bed and read for an hour then a nice, early night.

toothtruth · 21/08/2018 20:27

bed for the night and id sleep for 10 hrs... thats the dream

LucilleBluth · 21/08/2018 20:28

Pour a glass of wine and watch the TV until 10.

Juanbablo · 21/08/2018 20:38

I would go to bed. I have done before when my kids were all small and bad sleepers.

Lynne1Cat · 21/08/2018 22:03

I'd either have a little doze in the chair, or liven myself up with a coffee. I never go to bed before midnight or later

glintandglide · 21/08/2018 22:04

Bed for the night always

Bloodybridget · 21/08/2018 22:05

I'd never be sleepy at 8pm unless I was ill. 3pm, yes - nap perfect at that time of day!

JulianOfNorwich · 21/08/2018 22:19

I'd eat some chocolate and carry on til 9 and then go to bed for the night.

Upsy1981 · 21/08/2018 22:57

I would (and frequently do) fall asleep on the sofa, have about 45 mins and wake up grumpy that I'd missed what I planned to watch on the TV. Then have a drink and go to bed properly between 10:30 and 11.
