What time do you wake up in the morning?

What time do you wake up in the morning and do you get enough sleep? I feel permanently shattered getting up at 6am for work no matter what time I go to bed the night before. If I get the chance to sleep in later then I always feel a million times better even if I’ve had the same amount of sleep. Hating the dark mornings!

In bed by 10pm every night, on a Work day I wake up at 4:30am, on a normal day up with DC at 6:30am.

Asleep between 9-10pm up 5:30 during the week. If feel fine during the day but do get tired in the evenings. Am a real lark.

I wake up every day at 5, I enjoy that time alone with my cats. On a school day the children get woken up at 7 and on weekends they never wake before 9. I go to sleep by 9 never later than 10.

I usually go to bed at about 9 and sleep well until 2 ish and then I'm awake until I get up at 7. After 12 years of this I'm rather fed up and tiredness is just something I live with.

Bed by 11 and sleep through until between 7 and 8 usually. This morning, however, 18 month old ds decided he was ready to start the day at 4am.

I usually feel fine Smile

Wake at 5:30am and sleep at around 2am. At weekends I wake at 11am.

TwitcherOfCurtains · 14/02/2020 18:59

Forgot to add that I feel tired most of the time.

I get up at 5 for work but usually try and be asleep by 9 so I don't get too tired. I don't mind early mornings though and get up early even if I'm not working. I am always up by 6 at the latest

Bed at 9.30/10.00 and up at 6 every morning

MoonlightMistletoe · 14/02/2020 19:26

I wake up tired!

7:20am.
I struggle to get to sleep even if I'm exhausted so I am usually asleep anywhere between 11:30 and 1am.

I usually wake between 6 and 6.30 and spring out of bed Grin I am in bed by 9.30 most nights.

There's a lot of research that shows that being a "Night Owl" is really bad for your health, but I do think some people just can't help it. A woman I work with really struggles in the mornings she is so tired, she doesn't really get going until past 2pm. I feel sorry for her as she is just permanently exhausted.

squid4 · 14/02/2020 19:31

6am is my standard, I feel lucky if I manage to sleep to 7 on days off even if kids are elsewhere
I feel ok on that, I don't go to bed late

chocolate26 · 14/02/2020 19:43

Before being pregnant I would always wake up early even if I didn't have work that day, I would always be awake by 6.30. Now I'm pregnant I'm not waking up until 9ish most days and I'm ready for bed by 8pm.

I am a lark and tend to wake at about 6am! Need to be in bed for 11 at the latest.
