Midnight-2am for me, seems to be my bedtime regardless of what time I have to get up in the morning!

wendz86 · 14/09/2018 06:47

Between 12 and 1.

AuntieStella · 14/09/2018 06:56

If I was having a lie-in until 8, I guess midnight or so, but in practice I wouldn't go to be later than my usual 10-11pm (routine helps me sleep)

beingsunny · 14/09/2018 07:07

Confused I can't remember how long it's been since I slept until 8am!

I'm usually up at 5.30, in bed around 10.30/11

SilentBob · 14/09/2018 07:09

At the moment I get up at 4:44 every day except Saturday (which is 5:44) and go to bed anywhere between 9pm and 1am so I am no help!

Depends how much sleep you personally need tbh- everyone's different!

Oblomov18 · 14/09/2018 07:26

Blimey. You all go to bed really late. And you don't need much sleep.
I go to bed at 9pm regularly. Normally 10pm. I need a lot of sleep. I get up at 7am.

EnhancedBeauty · 14/09/2018 07:34

Same @Oblomov18

I get up at 6.45am weekday mornings and am in bed by 9.30pm usually.
I definitely couldn't go to bed at midnight every night. What do people do until that time??

CircleofWillis · 14/09/2018 07:35

12-1sh and even then I’d probably wake for 7ish.

MrsPear · 14/09/2018 07:36

Up at 8 and an hour to get ready 😱

Midnight

dramaattheschoolgate · 14/09/2018 09:34

I go to bed around the same time, no matter what time I have to be up.
So 12 ish. Sometimes 11, sometimes 1, depending on what I am reading/watching.

Life in our house starts at 6:45.
I am usually up reluctantly at 6 am.
On weekends when I sleep until I wake, (kids older, so sort themselves out) then I usually wake at 8am.

onestitchaway · 14/09/2018 10:34

Probably around 1am but would be fine for 2am

I normally sleep 11pm-6am

AntiHop · 14/09/2018 10:35

2am.

Xmasbaby11 · 14/09/2018 10:38

I often get to at 8am at weekend. That's not really a big lie in! 7am in the week. I'd try to go to bed by midnight, same as usual, but 1 or 2am would be ok.

Livinglavidal0ca · 14/09/2018 10:46

I get up at about 7am, 7.30 if my son sleeps in a bit later. Always in bed between 9-10 regardless of when I'm getting up.

SilverApples · 14/09/2018 10:47

I need 6 hours sleep in the winter and 5 in the summer, so it depends what time of year it is. Grin

MrsPMT · 14/09/2018 10:48

12 probably

BitchQueen90 · 14/09/2018 10:57

Around midnight.

I get up at 6am every day and am in bed for about 10pm.

Rebecca36 · 14/09/2018 11:21

I woke at 10.30am today, yay! Can't remember what time I went to bed though.

When I was at work, once I got into my mid-forties, I was usually in bed by 11pm at the latest and always woke spontaneously between 4.30 and 5am, even at weekends. It was a real drag! Now I have adjusted thankfully. I can get up early easily enough if there is a reason for it.

My husband has to be up at 5.30-6am on week days but at weekends or on days off it's generally 9+, he really appreciates a lie in.

Raisinbrain · 14/09/2018 11:21

Haven't slept that late in so so long... but... midnight. I try to get 8 hours

Freshprincess · 14/09/2018 11:29

8am would be a lie in for me, so wouldn’t really think about having an early night to compensate. I try to be in bed with no iPad by midnight most nights

shumway · 14/09/2018 11:29

I go to bed 10-10.30 in the week and get up 7.30-7.40.

megletthesecond · 14/09/2018 11:30

1am. Would scrape by with 2am, depends what I was doing that day.

BunnyCarr · 14/09/2018 12:11

Up at 4:50am.
Try to be in bed by 10:00pm but its not always possible.

SoyDora · 14/09/2018 12:14

I haven’t slept until 8am since before DD1 was born nearly 5 years ago! So I’d like to think I’d make the most of the opportunity and have a nice night out with DH the night before knowing I had a lie in the next day, but in reality I’d probably go to bed at the same time as normal and wake at the same time as normal (6am ish) then lie around faffing on my phone for 2 hours and waste it.

Toptheginup · 14/09/2018 12:32

Bed by 8 but not drop off until about 11.30pm
