For context: I'm 36, mum of three (youngest is 2.5), work four days a week.

Im also someone who needs a lot of sleep.

So... introductions over. I'm in bed for 8/8.30 and asleep 8.30-9 every night. I then get up at 5.30/6 with my toddler.

Aibu to ask your age and when you go to sleep?

Get up at 4.45am so I can get ready and do a few things before my 4yo gets up between 5.30-6am

46; I aim for 9.30 and like to be asleep by 10.15.

Acornacorn · 13/10/2024 20:34

40, two young kids. Work 4 days per week. Typically go to bed 11-1am and up by 7am at the latest. Often woken in the night by a child.
I should go to bed sooner but once they’re finally asleep it’s time for me to have me time!

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 13/10/2024 20:35

Mid-40s, usually about 10pm. Read for an hour or so, asleep as soon as the light's off. I wake up at about 7.30am usually.

user1471453601 · 13/10/2024 20:35

Your questions are two. What time do you go to bed and what time do you go to sleep. Which one do you want an answer to?

Horatiostrumpet · 13/10/2024 20:35

43 (with a 7 & 3yo)
Anytime between 10.30-11.30pm, up between 6-6.30am.

I've not even had dinner by 9pm some nights!

leopardski · 13/10/2024 20:35

violetcuriosity · 13/10/2024 20:36

34 kids 9 and 1, in bed by 8:30sh asleep by 9:30sh. All of us early 30s seem to be similar... age of kids or an era thing?

JBJ · 13/10/2024 20:36
  1. About midnight usually. Up between 7-8am, apart from weekends
bakewellbride · 13/10/2024 20:36

I'm 34. I go to bed at 10:45iah as the dog needs his last wee in the garden at 10:30. My toddler wakes me at least once in the night. Then my eldest wakes me up between 5:30 and 6:30 ready to start the day. Exhausting!

CanadianJohn · 13/10/2024 20:36

77, 1.30 am. I've always been a night owl

holjam · 13/10/2024 20:36
