Between midnight and 1am then I play Candy crush while listening to an audio book and then I read.
I am a night owl who craves the time when DS is in bed and I can have some time to myself. I do sport most evenings so by the time I get to 9.30pm (DS in bed) I've got the dinner to clear away, kitchen to tidy, laundry etc.
I listen to radio to audio books while I do that.
Then I try sit down for 1/2hr and watch something on telly.
Oh and other projects as well. I basically try and do all the things I'd do in the day if I wasn't working. Lone parent so it's all on me.
I'm happy. Tired but happy.

In about half an hour. Could you put my electric blanket on in twenty minutes, please?

Motheranddaughtertotwo · 04/04/2022 21:31

Around midnight and I get up at 6.

Rinatinabina · 04/04/2022 21:31

About 1 and up for 6am. I really really need more sleep, I do it to myself really.

Furrbabymama87 · 04/04/2022 21:40

About 9.30. Don't go asleep till after 11 though.

MondeoFan · 04/04/2022 21:41

11ish and up at 6am everyday

DinosApple · 04/04/2022 21:41

Usually between 9 and 10. I love getting into bed, being warm and cosy.

If only I could tell my teen self who regularly stayed up past midnight Grin.

badlydrawnbear · 04/04/2022 21:43

About 1am.
I get up at 6.45 on school days, 5.30 on Wednesdays for work, on Fridays I work a night shift and don’t go to bed.

Itstheprinciple · 04/04/2022 21:43

Usually between 10 and 10:30 bit if DH is away, I go earlier! Alarm goes off at 6.

fairylightsandwaxmelts · 04/04/2022 21:45

I go to bed around 9.30-10pm, asleep between 11 and midnight.

DH's alarm goes off at six but I go back to sleep/doze/lie-in until anywhere between 7.30-10am depending on what jobs I have booked in.

Most workdays I'm up by 8am though.

familyissues12345 · 04/04/2022 21:46

Usually in bed by 10.30, lights out at about 11.30. Maybe earlier if I'm shattered or not feeling well

Might be later if it's the weekend, or not working the next day

Quornflakegirl · 04/04/2022 21:47

Totally depends on my cycle. Just before my period and ovulation I need a lot of sleep and will happily go to bed at 8pm. During other times of my cycle it’s around 10:30pm. I wake at 7am. I’ve always needed a lot of sleep.

stimpyyouidiot · 04/04/2022 21:49

About 10-10:30

gogohm · 04/04/2022 21:51

Depends on whether I'm tired, whether there's something worth watching on tv, whether we want to watch someone we follow on YouTube on the tablet (watch in bed)

RedShoesBlues · 04/04/2022 21:51

Usually between 1 and 1.30am, sometimes 2 at the weekend. Always been a night owl, like someone said earlier, midnight is an early night for us.

HereComesTheMum · 04/04/2022 22:06

School nights 11ish - it would be earlier (I need it to be tbh), but DH and I would never spend any time together otherwise!!!

Friday i reliably fall asleep on the sofa at approx 9.30pm.

OhSoStranger · 04/04/2022 22:46

Usually between 9pm and 12am on a work night. Pretty much the same for a weekend too actually.

ImplementingTheDennisSystem · 04/04/2022 22:49

We're a couple with no kids.
Typically it's 10pm, but sometimes 9pm if we're tired.
Then the alarm is set for 6.15am.

HorribleHerstory · 04/04/2022 23:06

I struggle before 1am. It’s usually 1.30am ish.

I’ve tried and failed many times to go to bed early but just cannot go to sleep before midnight even when I’m tired or sick.

10pm, I’d have no chance of sleeping. It may as well be 3pm to my subconscious. I’ve been the same through many years of pregnancy and sleepless nights/child rearing. I cannot nap either.

I get up at 7am.

ImInStealthMode · 04/04/2022 23:17

Anywhere between 10.30pm and midnight. No kids in the house. DP gets up at 7 and my alarm goes off at 7.30am but I rarely actually get up before 8 (I live a 15 minute drive from work).
