What time do you go to bed?

Just interested really
chatting to a few friends today was a bit shocked as few said they are up to midnight/1am and then up with the kids 6:30/7am (averaged 6 hours)
my mum said she goes to bed at 10:30 and wakes up at 8!!! (Retired) seems excessive!
I am knackered by 9:30 but up with my baby at 6am (and sometimes in the night!)

I struggle with getting myself to bed. So last night it was 1am. Made this morning hard!!

I'm trying to go to bed before midnight so I can get up by 7am.

However I'm regularly awake at 2am. Doom scrolling. Or working if I have failed to get enough done in the day.

I have kids so working between 630 and 9pm is rarely possible.

basically, whenever I want ( children are grown up) I might go to sleep right now, I am quite tired. Then I might wake again later. On a working day I sleep probably about 11pm-5am, but at the weekend it could be anytime

devildeepbluesea · 18/08/2023 18:42

I’m usually in bed by 8 or 9, but not necessarily sleeping (I’ll read or watch tv on the iPad). Up before 6am usually.

LBOCS2 · 18/08/2023 18:43

I go to bed between 11-1. Up between 7-8. Getting up is a struggle but I'm a night owl. I tend to have at one early night (like, 9pm; I go up with the DC!) every fortnight or so and that keeps the balance.

UndercoverCop · 18/08/2023 18:44

Bed 10-30 to 12 roughly, up 7-8am

soberfabulous · 18/08/2023 18:46

830 and read for an hour or two. I'm up at 6 each day, I couldn't go to bed any later!

SM4713 · 18/08/2023 18:46

We don't (can't) have children and both WFH- so no commute. DH is a lark, goes to bed at 10pm and up anywhere from 4-6am

I'm a night owl, and generally go to bed between 12-1am, even during the week, and awake 8-8:30. On a weekend, I 'might' sleep in till 9-9:30 one of the days.

ItLooksLikeChickenSoItMustBeChicken · 18/08/2023 18:48

I go between 10.30 and 11.30, after I've taken a tablet (prescribed) that causes drowsiness. I get up twice for a wee, and eventually get up at about 7. I'm in my early 60s and retired.

month92 · 18/08/2023 18:52

10-7.30 usually. I love my sleep 😂

RockAndRollerskate · 18/08/2023 18:55

I love mundane life chat threads 😆

10-10:30 here, up at 6.

I work with people that arrive at the office at 6am. Can’t imagine how they live on such little sleep!

WeWereInParis · 18/08/2023 18:58

I'm generally asleep by 11, woken by DD2 at around 6 normally.

YesIReallyDoLikeRootBeer · 18/08/2023 19:00

On a work night I'm in bed between 930 and 1000 and get up at 445. When I don't have work I go to bed around 300 am and up by 1000. Im a night owl by nature and all my kids are grown now.

Kangarude · 18/08/2023 19:01

9pm Sun - Thurs. About 11pm Fri and 1am Sat (I go out). I wake ridiculously early regardless of bedtime. zzzz

cptartapp · 18/08/2023 19:01

9.00pm and usually straight to sleep.
Awake anytime 6am - 6.30 am but never ever sleep through.

HamishTheCamel · 18/08/2023 19:02

I go to sleep around 11pm and usually wake around 7am. I often wake up at 4am, read for a bit and then go back to sleep.

MrsJimmyPerez · 18/08/2023 19:05

Bed around 1pm, up between 6-7pm and a lovely 2 hour nap most afternoons. I can skip the nap if it'd get in the way of me doing something fun (or absolutely necessary).

Olika · 18/08/2023 19:07

Before my DD about 9pm (max 10pm) during the week and maybe 11pm-midnight during the weekends. Now anything from 7pm onwards lol

buzzlightyearsgloves · 18/08/2023 19:09

Bed at 8, asleep for 9 and up for 5.30 ish, can't sleep any later if I try!

FedUpMumof10YO · 18/08/2023 19:13

In the winter, I can be in bed anytime from 7pm. Unlikely I'm asleep till 9-10. Awake from 5.

Summer, I'm in bed by 10 and asleep by 11. Awake between 6-7.

BeansOnToast32 · 18/08/2023 19:20

I go to bed anywhere between 11:45pm - 1am and I get up between 6:45-7:30 weekdays and 8am on weekends.

I don't have kids, just a dog but a can't stand getting out of bed later than 8am. Even if I went to bed at 3am I still wouldn't get up any later than 8.

GalileoHumpkins · 18/08/2023 19:25

I like to be in bed with a book by 10 and I don't usually get up till 8 or later if the cat lets me 😂

Snap.

DrunkenKoala · 18/08/2023 19:36

Sun-Fri go to bed at 9, up at 5 to exercise.
Sat night about 10.30 - 11, up between 6.30-7. Usually asleep pretty quickly .

Beersinshropshire · 18/08/2023 19:39

9, up at 6 to 7.

i’d be in bed earlier if I could.

I’d love to need less sleep.

riotlady · 18/08/2023 19:40

11-12, then up around 7-8 depending on DD. DH usually gives me a lie in once a week and I’ll get up around 9.30
