Anyone else going to bed super early cos they're cold

Ok so I have 2 under 4 who do occasionally disturb the nights sleep which might also contribute to my early nights. And we're also lucky enough to still have the heating on in the morning and evening...

BUT we are using it a lot less and layering up. So post dinner I start to feel a bit cold. So put my fake oodie on and thick socks once I've done a few chores and sitting down to watch something

And then the slow warm comfy feeling takes over and I can barely keep my eyes open.

So I've been going to bed anywhere from 8.30-9ish. I'm already in bed now!!

My Fitbit is telling me I'm averaging 8.5-9hrs a night and if I get less (my normal amount) I feel absolutely knackered.

Anyone else going to bed super early as they're cold (and have layered up which is making them sleepy)?

I’m in bed right now, fully made up and clothed. Waiting for a taxi but can’t be arsed to put the heating on. Could quite happily cancel plans and have a kip though!

ive been going to bed early cos im cold and i have an electric blanket, just go a bit earlier and watch tv rather than staying downstairs and being cold and watching tv

Nope. I just turn the heating on. Life is too short and there's other things I will give up before accepting cold as my only option.

I've been putting a hot water bottle in the end of the bed but an electric blanket sounds like heaven!

I've been going to bed this early since DCs were little Smile. I sometimes watch tv for or read then go to sleep at about 10. DCs no longer early risers but I am and I really need my sleep.

No , I very rarely go to bed before 10.30 my house is cold and I'm wearing my clothes and dressing gown atm . I would never sleep for 8 hours so if I went to bed early I would just be wide awake in the night unfortunately.

I've been in bed half an hour. Go up about 8.30 most nights but tonight was 8pm.

I'm warm, comfy, reading my phone and when I start to get tired I don't have to go anywhere.

It's literally my fave place on the planet 😂
