?? i should go about 10 but always end up going at about 12 which is shite cos i almost always have to wake up to DD (aged 2.5) at least once a night and she is up promptly at 7. Just wondered what everyone else did - i go so late as it the only way i get evening time with DP

Last night: 9.30! Tonight, hopefully 9.30!

Am just shattered atm. Usually make it to 10.30. 12 would kill me.

But then I am a bad sleeper and never make it through the night.

MrsFogi · 19/09/2007 15:53

About 23h every night except that now I'm pg I feel like going to bed from 17h30 onwards!

Nip · 19/09/2007 15:54

usually about 10.30 - unless i get engrossed in MN and i can be up for hours!!!

claricebeansmum · 19/09/2007 15:55

10.30.

Used to be a real night owl but now just can't do it. Stayed up until 11pm to watch the end of TV programme on Monday night and had to have a nap on Tuesday to catch up!

brimfull · 19/09/2007 15:56

I should go at 10 but it's usually 11 or 12.

pooka · 19/09/2007 15:57

10pm usually. Maybe 10.30pm. But will read in bed. Weekends go at about 11pm.

Lizzylou · 19/09/2007 15:58

Normally 9.30-10pm, sometimes 9pm, very occasionally 10.30pm.
Oh, the glamourous hedonistic life I lead!

TheMadHouse · 19/09/2007 15:59

10.30pm and read for a while. I am up at 7ish with the boys

PersonalClown · 19/09/2007 16:00

I'm tucked up for about 10:30pm.
Usually in bed at 9:30 reading or listening to music to wind down.

southeatsastras · 19/09/2007 16:00

12.30 to 1, some of you go really early! never been able to do that

me23 · 19/09/2007 16:02

about 9.30-10pm get up from 6-7 and I'm still knakered, chasing after busy 2 1/2 year old and working.

Othersideofthechannel · 19/09/2007 16:03

Between 10.30 and 11. Alarm goes off at 6.30. Really should be going to bed at 9.30 to have the amount of sleep I need, but like more time to myself/with DH in the evenings.

snowleopard · 19/09/2007 16:03

Like you lucyellensmum, I stay up late to get that evening time and time with DP... we aim for 12, but sometimes it's 1. We are very lucky though because our DS tends to sleep well. I am tired and look rough some days, but actually it's worth it. i love doing stuff at night like sewing and reading or watching a film with DP.

Tanee58 · 19/09/2007 16:04

When dd was little, used to go to bed around 9 - now that dd doesn't go herself until 10.30 ish (teenager), I TRY to stay up till 12 just to have some time alone with DP, but often fall asleep in front of TV well before that (often missing the last half of 'Heroes' .

Occasionally, if DD is away at her father's and DP and I get self-indulgent with wine, cheese and candlelight, we sit up till 4am or later!

biglips · 19/09/2007 16:08

last night i went to bed @ 10.30 (my usual bedtime) and read a book till midnight - oops!

Tonight im going to bed the same but no book. I get up every morning with my nearly 3 yrs old DD @ 7-7.30am

i do really need 8 hours..no less or no more! or im ratty ggrrrr!!!...but im ok atm

Elffriend · 19/09/2007 16:08

Aim for 9.30p.m. Sometimes miss and stay up dead late until oooh about 10.00p.m. Crap huh? I have to be up at 5.45 a.m. on the days I go out to work so there's not much room for sleep error. Either on my part or on DS's part.

ds wakes up between 5 and 6am and we are having a spate of wake-ups at the moment as well so I am pretty much always in bed by 10.30pm sometimes 9.30pm though I rarely actually go to sleep until 10pm or later.

This is so much NOT my natural rhythm. I always used to go to bed between 11 and 12pm and get up at about 7.30/8am.

I did used to like my sleep

serenity · 19/09/2007 16:40

Never before 12, usually sometime between then and 1am, but at the weekends it can often stretch until 2. On the nights I work I don't get home until nearly 1am, so it's fairly normal for me. I will admit that although I get up at 7.15 during the week, I rarely get out of bed before 10 at the weekend.

eandh · 19/09/2007 16:46

I am normally upstairs 9.30-10pm but dd2 teething and up once ot twice anight and both dd's are early risers (5.45-6.30 on average) although they go to bed at 6 and 6.30 so dh and I get some time together then

MuffinMclay · 19/09/2007 19:18

About 10pm. Usually read for half an hour or so.

I can't stay awake any later than that.

McDreamy · 19/09/2007 19:19

For the last 2 nights 9pm, it's now 9:20pm so I'm 20 minutes late tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IntergalacticWalrus · 19/09/2007 19:19

Bed most nights between 12 and 1am.

Up most mornings between 5 and 6 am

I work odd hours.
