What time do you get tired in the evenings?

I’ve had enough by 10pm! I suddenly get really irritable and want the dc in bed so I can relax for an hour or so by myself. I might go on the internet or or read for an hour in bed but I don’t have any concentration or motivation for anything else after that time. It’s a bit early I think and I’m sure I could get more done if I had more evening. What time do you get tired and stop for the night?

Surely it all depends what time you have to get up? I would stay up later and not be tired if i wasn't up so early in the mornings for work.

I rarely feel tired in the evenings.

Mid afternoon, however, I'd love a little nap Wink

Get tired, I don’t really, in that it sounds almost like flipping a switch. I’m often still awake at 1am, not unusual to see 2am but I also am often still working at 10-12pm. It not really an option to lose motivation to want to do things when things need doing. It’s now past 11, I’ve just put a wash on, I’ve got something on the telly but I’ve a few emails and work things to sort before bed as well as cleaning the kitchen and doing the kids packed lunches before I head upstairs, I’ll read for a bit before bed.

im often tired but it’s not related to the time on the clock particularly

I’ve always got up at 7am ish and could stay up till gone midnight but these days I crash out much earlier. The washing, emails and packed lunches are done in the morning!

Never. I have to force myself to go to bed on a week night / school at 11 ish then normally mess about on phone for an hour.
In the holidays i maybe stay up an hour later or so.
I don't have to get up for work as i do my hours when it suits me .
However i am not a morning person and can easily nap in the afternoon for 3 hours. When the dcs are at school but i dont do it often anymore as was a bad habit a while ago
