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?

It varies depending on whether DH is at home or not, average is probably between 10 & 11, up at 6.30 or 7 but I wake up a couple of times in the night so always tired

I'm 36, no children.

I go up to bed around 9pm and read or scroll with a cat or two curled up next to me. Go to sleep around 11.30.

I'm up at 7.30am weekdays, but DH is up at 7 so I tend to doze/read for that last half hour.

47- 2 children age 9 and 5. 5 years old is asleep by 8.15 pm most nights. 9 years old by 9.30/45 pm most nights.
I go to bed between 10 and 11 pm.

We all wake up between 6.45 and 7.10 am.

It's a huge improvement from 3 to 4 years ago when I used to be woken up every night by one child or the other.

I’m 45 with 2 primary aged children and the time I get in to bed varies massively but I usually go to sleep about 11. My alarm is set for 7.10 but I have to snooze it a couple of times.
