So during the week I’m up by 0630. DH has asked if have any plans this weekend and I said is like a proper big lie in. He says I do this every week. I’m usually up by 0830. 9 is the very latest. I would truly love to stay asleep one day until 10am. Don’t have any children at home these days to require me being up early. I just can’t stay asleep but am still tired when I get up.
What’s the norm for people these days? I know it’s a ‘how long is a piece of string’ type question but I’m intrigued as to whether DH or me have the more common perception as to the ‘norm’.

I get up 6.45 M-F work 36 hours a week, 2 kids and do after school activities 4 nights a week, do all the cooking during the week, and usually exercise for 30-60 mins 5 evenings a week. So I consider myself pretty busy. So at the weekend when we don't have plans (which is most weekends as we don't like plans to be honest) we wake up naturally when we want. To be honest now at 48 this has just got earlier and I'm usually awake about 8.30 but we still have a coffee in bed and watch the news and chill out for a bit. Kids are 10 and 12, 10 year old up at the crack of dawn and 12 year old sleeps till about 11 unless we wake her up

I'm up by 5.30 in the weekend. I got a sports to do. So weekdays are my lie in as work starts at 9.30.

M,T,W - workdays, alarm at 6.15 up at 6.15.
T,F - non work days, alarm at 7.50 up by 8.30, feel as it is a weekday I should be up and doing useful stuff , housework etc
S,S - no alarm, wake naturally between 6.00-8.00, up by 10.00 latest but after several mugs of coffee in bed.

Adult dc, and sadly no dogs anymore.

6.15 alarm M-F.

I was wide awake at 5am, and got out of bed at 5.30 today. Frankly, id settle for sleeping through rather than waking at 3an dozing til the alarm.
