What time do you go to bed?

My husband goes up at 9.30pm and I think that's silly early?! I suppose he is 49 with a badly sleeping and bedsharing 4 yo!

I go up at around 10pm as I get a bit bored downstairs on my own but never sleep until around 11ish.

My 17 yo is asleep by 10.30 because he's sensible, and my 15 yo...well...silly o' 'clock!!

I just think 9.30pm is early, but happy to stand corrected?

Upstairs 10pm ish
Read until 11pm ish in bed, then fall asleep

Kindyeah · 23/02/2025 21:46

About 2am. Any earlier and I’d just lie there.

On a school night 21:00 but I get up at 5. So it depends what time he gets up I suppose x

@CuteEasterBunny Guessing that's not the same most days though?

I was just about to start a thread on this very question!

9.30pm is early but I'd like to go at that time! I go around 11 but often don't sleep until 1-2am, I need to leave my kindle downstairs as I watch Netflix or read to silly o clock

What time does your husband get up in the mornings?

HappyChappieDappe · 23/02/2025 21:51

Upstairs at 7.30pm with DD7, she co sleeps with me as she gets scared in her room and on her own (tried everything) so we have tea together at 6pm, reading, bath, bed time reading then lights out for her at 8.00pm. I usually flit between upstairs and downstairs from 8 to 9.30pm. Then get in bed just before 10.00pm. Bit of mumsnet scrolling until 10.30pm ish then lights out. I'm asleep by 11.00pm.

everychildmatters · 23/02/2025 21:51

@narcASD Just before 7.

TaupeMember · 23/02/2025 21:52

Usually in bed by 9. Kids up for story and cuddles about half 10, and they're in bed by 11.

I'm asleep between half 12 (on a good day) and half 1 (on a bad day).

Usually awake about 8.15am

ShamrockShenanigans · 23/02/2025 21:52

Anywhere between 1am and 1.30am.

I get up for work at 7.30am and I normally wake up refreshed.

everychildmatters · 23/02/2025 21:53

Gosh - maybe it's not as early as I thought! Tbf we've not had a full night's sleep since our daughter was born May 2020 so I do understand he's tired!

Right now I'm pregnant so I nap between 4-6 and then go tk bed at 10.30!!

Jeezitneverends · 23/02/2025 21:55

I think age and life stage has a lot to do with it. I spent years surviving on 5-6 hours sleep a night when the kids were younger and I worked shifts, because I just had to. Nowadays I’m up at 5.15 for work so bed by 9 and light out by 10.30

Fatloss · 23/02/2025 21:58

Varies but I need quite a lot of resting not actual sleep due to disability and I think MH. Don’t even have kids as an excuse. So can be 9 in bed and at earliest sleep by 9.30. I try to stay awake longer or just end up awake very early.

Boymum2104 · 23/02/2025 22:01

On a good day 8.30pm, unfortunately today isn't a good day 😂

Ilovemyshed · 23/02/2025 22:01

Weekdays usually about 9ish sometimes earlier. Bath, read, lights out 10 ish, up at 6.
Fridays, usually out so later, 11-12 ish.
Saturday depends what we are doing, sometimes early sometimes later.
Sunday 10 ish.

Youagain2025 · 23/02/2025 22:02

I got to bed between 8.30 - 9pm sleep between 10 &11pm

Dd14 sleep around 11pm I think

Ds 8 and 9 bed at 8pm sleep 8.30 -9pm

It's different pattern in school holidays though.

AuntieMarys · 23/02/2025 22:04

We are in bed by 9.
I read for a while.
Dh gets up for work at 4.30.
I usually wake up about 5.30.

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 23/02/2025 22:07

10.30pm - think about going to bed
11.00pm - get into bed (after faffing for half an hour)
11.30pm - switch off the light after reading
6.00am - wake up tired and vow to have an early night the next night...

It doesn't happen as I'd feel cheated of my evening if I went to bed before 10.00pm!

jazzyrockyblues · 23/02/2025 22:09

I have to be up at 6:30, I usually go to bed at 9 so that I have time to chill and be asleep by 10. It’s different on weekends, but I’m usually in bed by 11.

MedusaAndHerFavourites · 23/02/2025 22:11

Usually around ten and read for an hour or so. If I'm grumpy (middle aged peri menopausal) I'll come up as early as 7 to stay out if everyone's way.

ValentineValentineV · 23/02/2025 22:13

11.30 and I get up at 7.30.

Seawolves · 23/02/2025 22:14

Around 10, up at midnight and 4am to turn my little one to try to prevent pressure areas then again at 6am for medication, on a bad night I will be up and down multiple times in between.

Growlybear83 · 23/02/2025 22:25

I try to go up to bed by about 1 am and aim to get to sleep by 2.

iamnotalemon · 23/02/2025 22:27

Everyone is different. I'd love to be able to function on little sleep but I can't. (Admittedly I have a health condition which doesn't help).
