In Bed before 8:30

[Newlifeintherain]

Every day this week I have been in bed before 8:30.
Tonight I came home from work went out had a couple of wines a kebab and now I am in bed.
It's warm and cosy happy reading my book and mumsnetting but why does it feel so wrong??

This me every weekday night OP, bed at 8.30 tucked up all cozy with a hot water bottle. Nothing better.

Sounds lovely, but, I'm longing for long summer nights when I don't have to take to my bed to keep warm.

Spaniel informed me it was bedtime about twenty minutes ago. She is snoring gently by my feet and we are both snuggled up. Bliss

I often think we must look like a household of toddlers. We all start work quite early - DH starts at 6am, I start at 7am, DS at 8am so we head bedwards at 9am as we will soon be getting up again (DH first at 4.45)

Love it!

Points out as kids we all swore we would NEVER be in bed at such an early time when we were all grown up ........How things change hahahahaha

I'm impressed that you went out! Bed and snoozing is the best..life is hard, rest and relaxation is priceless on our hamster wheel!

Hi @Newlifeintherain not wrong at all, i think its a good time to settle down to sleep, we do the same. 🌝

I do this on a Sunday night, in bed early, cup of tea and my tablet or a book, it's dreamy!

I don't even have the excuse of working full time or DC at home ... just love my bed .

Because it is! It's 8.30pm FFS 😯

Currently also in bed with a book & could easily sleep

I love a nice early night. In bed with a hot drink, a good book. There’s something very cosy and relaxing about being in a warm bd in winter when it’s dark outside.
9:30 is good, 9 even better…

I'm in bed most nights between 8.15 -8.45, with a good book and electric blanket. More comfortable than the sofa

It sounds lovely.

I would love to be in bed. I am waiting to pick my DD up from work at 10 🙄

@Ragwort

Ragwort, it's none of my business, or anyone else's, but are both you & your DH happy with this arrangement? I'm intrigued with your Mumsnet name too, are you horsey?

I think I'd rather have an evening out of bed. Especially a Friday night.

Every. Single. Night. Electric blanket and two cats. DP sleeps separately like a PP; he likes to sit in the living room of a night … nutter.

I know it wasn’t me you asked @Bluesandwhites but we are very happy with the separate room situation! We would have murdered each other by now for sure without it.

I like this too but feel crippling guilt about not being more productive

Blues very happy with the arrangement... sleep so much better in separate rooms & we both love time alone to read in bed without disturbing each other... married over 35 years! Always try & find a s/c holiday where we can have our own rooms as well.

I am not horsey but years ago when I wanted a new name on here I couldn't find anything unique so for some reason settled on the weeds outside my front door .

@LittleBrownJug
Oh, another one ! Sorry to be nosy, but just wondered if this works, obvs it does as you seem content. I lived a separate life to my former OH and was not happy about it.
@Thepeopleversuswork
Please don't feel guilty, especially if you work hard for a living, and even if you have retired, you have earned your rest.

Love my bed most nights 9ish hibernating tomorrow under duvet on sofa I love it.

@Ragwort
Thanks for update ! I'm pleased it works well for you both xx

I'm also tucked up in bed with a brew. It's been a long ass week ! Up and out for 8.30 in the morning so dont mind it really. Plus its warmer up here.
