How old are you and what time do you go to bed?

[defoneedanamechange]

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?

58 Bed just before midnight up at 6 am

I'm 60, retired ... in bed at 10.00 asleep by 10.02... woken at 6.30 by ddog wanting out, or dd22 getting ready to go to teacher training placement - on bus at 7.00.

39, in bed by 10:30 on work nights, asleep by 11:15 ish, alarm at 7:15.

53. Go to bed around 8pm during the week as I get up at 5am to walk the dogs and then workout.

51 and 10pm, even at the weekend unless I have been out somewhere and get back later as I need wind down time rather than going straight to bed.

65 - usually between 10 - 11 pm, sleep between 11 - 12 pm (I read in bed every night)

As someone with chronic pain and insomnia for over 30 years I feel I should tell you that staying still normally worsens pain and being in bed for too long not sleeping worsens insomnia. Apologies if you already know this and there is a reason why you do this but I learnt the long and hard way.

It's a really interesting thread, isn't it? I have often (in the last ten years) wondered why my parents could actually stay up until 11pm without dying of boredom and uncomfortableness!
It's got to be the internet, and the fact we can cosy up in bed, and entertain ourselves way more than they could in bed, (no pun intended) as in my day, dad retired to bed after 'the 10 o'clock news'.

55 anywhere between 10pm and midnight. I no longer have children who get me up. I work part-time but every day.
My sleep has been awful for about 16 years - non sleeping baby and terrible work stress killed my epic sleeping habit, and it never recovered

62 and got to bed between 12 and 1 most nights ,alarm at 5,50 on work days, never been a great sleeper, just to drive my DM mad as a child.

43 and about 10 depending on how I feel. I try to go to sleep around 10.30 but it’s normally 11. Get up around 6.45 tues, weds, thurs and 7.30 mon and Fri and about 8 at weekends

That sounds amazing! If my dc were asleep at that time, I definitely would be too.

I’m 43 and go to bed 9:30/10, though usually not asleep before 11pm. My dc are 6 & 11 and unfortunately not asleep before 9:30pm. I don’t get up until 7am though, most days.

This is my sleep pattern, but I don't agree that YABU. Also, I don't have to be up for young kids or work at 9am any more.

57 bed at 10:30. Asleep by 11:30. Up at 6am.

how do you have an evening you 9pm in bed people? I don’t get home till 7pm and i Need some decompression / adult time.

49, varies from 11-midnight. Up at 8.30.

26 and usually in bed for 9:30, but will go earlier if I'm able! Up at 6 for breakfast and to walk the dog

44 and I go to bed midnight-1am ish, asleep straight away, alarm for 9.30 on work days, no alarm if i'm not working. I love my sleep and can sleep 10-12 hours no problem. Feel crappy if I don't have 7-8hours.

In my 60's. Go to bed at 9 every night. Watch tv for an hour, then lights out. I fall asleep usually some time between 11 and 2. Wake up a few times during the night for the loo. Wake up anytime between 5 and 8. I've always been able to function on little sleep but sometimes I'd like more.

50 yrs
Bed at 11pm - lights off by midnight.
Up at 7.15

32. 4 kids between 5 and 11. I got to sleep anytime between 11pm and 1am and probably away for the 2 younger 2 in the night a few times a week. Then up at 6:30in the week as we commute for school run.

I stay up late otherwise I wouldn't see my dh due to his working hours

I'm 41, I work full time and have a 5 year old. I go to bed at 9.30 and get up at 5.

42. Up at about 10.30, asleep by 11, wake at 7.

If I didn't have to get up my pattern would naturally be bed at about midnight, asleep by 1am. Wake up about 9am.

38. Asleep by 1030. Awake at 6.

42, 3 kids age 6-11, work 3 days. Usually go to bed at 10ish asleep by 10.30. Wake at 6.45/7am. I need my 8 hours so try and be disciplined. My husband seems to cope on 7 hrs which I’m envious of as often feels like not much evening once kids in bed and stuff round house done.
