House guest - how late do you sleep?

[savingoldbags]

If you're a guest in someone else's house, how late do you sleep? For me, I tend to wake up early anyway so I just go with the rhythm of the house. If I hear others getting up (assuming it's not mega early), I'll do the same.

Reason being, we've got a couple of guests staying this weekend. They're very close friends but haven't ever stayed over before. It's 12:15 and they're still in bed. We've been up since about 10am but obviously everyone is different.

So just wondering how late you'd sleep if you were a guest elsewhere? And as a host, is there a right time to check they're actually ok?

I haven’t slept until 1.15 in the past ten years or more 😄
oh well
different strokes for different folks.. you can get on with your day now

That's really too late and rude of your guests to me. I would always ask the host/hostess before going to visit: a simple, what time are you guys up and about for coffee and breakfast? Then they have the choice to tell me and add something like but just wander down whenever, it's fine. It's necessary since some people shower/bathe in the morning so it's important to know if you're going to be racing to the bathroom to beat your host or not!

I think they are very rude. That would surely have the hosts feeling that they had to be unusually quiet in their own home because of inconsiderate guests.

I tend to be awake before 8am anyway, no matter where I am or when I went to bed. I'm happy to just sort myself out and/or go with the flow if others are also surfacing.

Sleeping in late isn’t a moral failing. There’s nothing inherently better about getting up early. To answer, as a guest I’d sleep until I woke up naturally and would let my guests do the same. Unless we’d made plans in advance that necessitated being up early, then I’d set an alarm, but would refuse anything that meant leaving the house before 10am. I’m not a morning person and I’m fine with that!

Reminds me of the time we had guests who were here with their toddler and puppy.
Toddler got up along with puppy. I sorted both out, by the time the parents got up, the little one had been given breakfast, face washed teeth brushed, then lunch, puppy out several times and been fed 😳
They didn’t get up until after 1pm then said they were starving.
It’s not a bloody hotel, we’ve not offered again

I don't see it as rude I see it as odd though for adults to sleep past dinner I would get up about 8am ish if it was me

It would depend hot tired I was.

Unless I was in their living area obviously I'd feel obliged to wake up and get out of their way but out of the way in a bedroom? They're not in there plotting something, they obviously need sleep?

What's the issue?

Struggling to see why they bothered to visit. Late forties getting up at 1.15pm as a guest, they sound like a pair of dossers

Depends on the relationship. Very close friends and been up late chatting etc., then I wouldn't wake them up unless they asked me to.

It's completely fine now. They were exceptionally tired and were thankful for a comfy bed.

It was more concern that they were ok but feeling a bit awkward about knocking on the door. I really don't mind how late guests sleep (I'm glad they're relaxed enough to do that) but next time, I'll get a gauge on what my visitors want to do. If I know they're very late sleepers, I'll plan round that and arrange to have brunch rather than breakfast etc.
