50 and old going to bed as early as possible - anyone else resonate ?

[Fomfue]

I get up at 5.30-6am week days. I even like being in bed for 9.30pm on a weekend night too.

50 and in bed by 8 at the very latest. Up at 4.30-4.45 every day. Mornings are the best part of the day 😊

Yes!!!!! So agree with this.

This morning I was walking around the farm next to our village, thick mist, sun coming through, frosty but the overwhelming smell of spring. Just glorious.

Glad it's not just me.
Pj's by 6 pm.I get up before 5 for work so I'm asleep by 10.lie on my bed watching TV and doomscrolling between 6 and 10 though.

im 37. In bed between 7.30-8.30, asleep within five mins of head on pillow. Up at 5.30.

Nope. I’m an owl! I love my evenings! I’m up at 630 for work and maybe 830/9 at the weekend. Rarely in bed before 1130!

TOTALLY AGREE 😍

LOVE THIS

9:30 early? Really?
that's a late night for me and I'm 30 lol

Wow, have you always been like that? Needing 10 hours sleep is unusual.

I love an early night. 930pm for me. 10pm if I’m feeling wild. Hot water bottle. Audiobook. Happy days. 🤣

Age 52

Left to my own devices I’d have lights out at midnight and get up at 8am. Sadly life doesn’t easily cater for night owls so whilst I often meet the first target I rarely meet the second!

That’s a late night for me OP! Bed 8.30pm to read for an hour, awake 4am without fail, try to go back to sleep until 5am then up! If I go to bed later I still wake at 4 and feel exhausted!

Yep. 10 hours a night. Love my sleep.

I’m 61 and now retired. Have various health issues including a chronic cancer so do get tired. I’m in bed at 8.30 at the latest but like to go earlier, especially in winter. Read for a bit, chamomile tea, lights out by 10.30. If im in a good sleep phase will get up about 6, that’s ideal, otherwise 8. DP goes to bed about 1am or later 😵 We have separate bedrooms.

Just past 50. Never bed before midnight if up at 6-7. Bed 2am yesterday, sprog slept till 8am very unusual usually up at 6am felt nicely rested this morning.

Don't think I've gone to bed at 9pm since I was 10 yrs old tbh.

Totally relate. I don’t even really get up that early. Just love going to bed early. Not necessarily to sleep, but to chill. My bed is the place I feel 100% comfortable, a little haven.

No not for me, age 50. I am not a morning person and I don’t like waking up early though. I get up between 7-7:30am in the week but I’d stay in bed until 8:30am or later if I could. I go to bed between 10-10:30pm in the week, sometimes a little later on the weekend. If I go to bed too early I struggle to fall asleep.

ME !!...im all snuggly in bed , got my pot of herbal tea and surrounded by puzzle books and garden magazines for summer inspiration

Even in the middle of winter?

Could you tell me more about front loading liquid please or send a link? When I googled it, it came up with laundry liquids!

Yep. I walk with a headtorch and work out in the garage with a headtorch. (open frame garage away from the house).

We’re upstairs by nine, I read/doomscroll till about ten, then straight to sleep until about three, when I wake, Mumsnet, have a wee, doomscroll/go down an internet rabbit hole until I’m tired again, then it’s on with the Bluetooth sleep band for my Medieval second sleep.

Works for me!

Absolutely! Can get so much done when no one else is around. Pitch dark dog walks aren’t my favourite part but swings and roundabouts.

Yes, absolutely! I get up at 5.30 / 6 & more often than not spend a couple of hours awake in the middle of the night. I’m usually in bed about 8.30 & watch TV for a bit & I’ll be asleep by 10. Even if I go to sleep later, I still wake up in the night so that doesn’t make any difference.

Yep. Not 50 yet but being in bed by 9.30pm sounds like heaven to me.
