What time do you go to bed at?

snowgal

Just having a conversation with a few friends and they were really surprised I normally would not be in bed until 12.30am, usually asleep by 1.30 unless Im really tired.. At weekends it could be 4 or 5am, just up chatting etc... Most of them are in bed by 10/10.30, I think thats so early! I get up at 8am during the week but I do sleep late (sometimes 2pm :eek: on sat/sun) Just wondering whats your normal times? (I dont have kids btw and most my friends do so Im sure thats a major reason...)

The Backwards Man

Anytime I get the chance.

fleet_admiral

Usually quite late, I only come alive at night although with school next week Ill have to go early

_Kaiser_

Usually go to bed around 11ish but still awake by 12 most nights. I couldn't go to bed any earlier (unless I was sick) as I'd just lie awake anyway

I do like to have a lie in when the rare opportunity presents itself

Tilly

I go to bed at 11 and watch tv till 12, then lights out if i've stayed awake that long.

Rosie Gardens

On a school night between 11-12

At the weekends, 3-4, but no always. Thanks christ for kids being able to pour their own cereal and milk and put the telly on at the weekends!

endacl

At bedtime. It varies. Depending.

Somewhere between 10-12, preferably closer to 10

Menas

Normally 10:30, lights out at 11. Tonight it will be a lot earlier as I am wrecked.

Sleep? Sleep if for wimps.

jenn1984

Don't have kids either. On worknights I'm in my room by 10-ish and watch tele/movies and then I'd be asleep by 1.30 and I'm up at 9am and in work at 10am. On weekends I might go to sleep around 2am and get up around 10ish.

Agreed. It does always amaze me how people like Thatcher got bye with only 4 hours sleep a night.

And there are a rake of CEOs who allegedly sleep very litle.

Its usually after 12 when I start trying to sleep, might head up to bed to watch stuff around 10 but its very rare Im asleep before 12:30am and its often around 1am. Given the choice I'd wait up later, going to bed around 3am would feel most natural to me but I need to get around 8 hours sleep or I'm wrecked.

Couldn't start going to sleep around 10pm I'd be wide awake, 10 to 12 is probably my favourite time of the evening.

Usually get up between 8:30 and 9, though on mondays after a heavy weekend it cant be pushing 9:30 when I stir.

Damn straight! Probably couldn't even distinguish between 'if' and 'is' without a solid eight hours.

:pac:

I like symmetry so I put the head down at 22:22 on a normal night

Aye I think that's all propaganda tbh.

As my oul granda used to say, 'if you have the name for rising early you can lie 'til dinnertime'

Too variable to say. It all depends on what I have done that day - what I will be doing the next day - who I am going to bed with - and why - and much more.

I am quite an early riser though so I do do my best to at least go to bed on this side of midnight where possible.

kfallon

Usually go to bed around midnight, up at 7.15am then!

What do you put it down?

callaway92

Try to be asleep by 23:30 or so from Sunday - Thursday night. Up at 07:20 then.

Usually stay up late Fridays ~ 01:30 or so. Out most Sat nights so bed at 3 or 4am.

r93kaey5p2izun

Between 1am and 2am when working and around 3am when off.

FelineOverLord

Usually between 10 and 12, but I often have insomnia so I could be awake for most of the night.:(

Digital Solitude

Normally half one or two, these days it's often 4 or 5 though

Maximus Alexander

Between 1 and 1:30 on weeknights, 2 or 3 at the weekend.

Get about 6 hours sleep on a week night and 8 - 10 on the weekend and I find I'm more tired on the weekend. More sleep isn't necessarily better sleep, for me anyway.

Tigger

2 on a school night
anything from 10 on a weekend (hubba hubba)
i hate going to sleep but i love bed in the mornings
i have a superking american oak bed and we change the mattress every few years

Lux23

I am normally in bed by 11.00pm and asleep by 12 during the week, but on a friday night I can be awake all night! MY Friday feeling is a bit like a few lines of coke, I can keep going until saturday morning.

fussyonion

It used to be around 1am weekdays and around 3am weekends, but I can't do it anymore.
I'm in bed by 11pm nearly every night, though I don't drop off til around midnight.
Awake at 8am most days.

nyarlothothep

Wasn't there a thread on this a few months ago? What is with AH and nosey threads like "how much do you sleep?", "how do you manage your money?" and "what do you eat?" and so on??? What's next? How many sh1ts do you take per day?

Chain Smoker

I've started using sleep to avoid patches of the day I don't like, seem to sleep for 2 hour patches all over the place. It's pretty great to be honest, "I'm bored, f*ck it, I'll have a nap and see what changes".

Kind of like going on a holiday on Football Manager, get to skip on to something better without having to actually endure the time in between.

If you got the full 8 hours at night I'd say you'd be less narky. :P

The Cool

On weeknights I go to bed between 11 and 12 but we usually chat for about an hour before settling to sleep, and I get up about half 8. On weekends it's about 2am. God be with the days of weeknight pints, when did I get so sensible!

boobar

Well I've been on holidays so the last few weeks bedtime has ranged from 11 (early) to 3 (late)

Back to work next week so the norm will be bed by 11.30 and up to drop kid to school for 9 into work by 9.30

Well come on then, how regular are your bowel movements? :pac:

kylith

I have to be up at 6:30 so I aim for 11 but often it winds up closer to 12.

Yes, but they bugger off for long, long holidays with monotonous regularity. That tends to even out the "short nights" when they are actually working.

Matt_Trakker

Usually in bed by 2am, don't have to get up at all really.
Do usually get up around 9.30 or 10, then walk the hound and get started on work around 11.
Work thru till 6, take an hour off during the day, walk hound, eat, maybe a nap.
Repeat x 5

Wknds, could go to bed at 4/5/6/7 doesn't really matter.
Not a morning person, never have been nor intend on becoming one.
All the good craic happens at night

darkpagandeath

Is this a find out who is on the dole thread ?

hairyslug

In bed and asleep by 1030 (depending on if the kids behave and go to sleep)
Normally wake at around 3 for an hour or so and then up and out of bed for 530/6
Don't do lie ins, they wreck my head and feel like I'm wasting the day

sleep when im dead

ceadaoin.

I had a few very late nights last week and I'm only getting over the tiredness now. I don't know how people function on less than 6 hours sleep consistently. That would be the absolute minimum I'd need.

theteal

Bed at 10, up at 6. . .getting auld

Mister Vain

I'm usually in bed by 11. Then I read for about 15-20 minutes if I'm not too tired.

diomed

Today 6 am, and again at 11 am.
Normally I go at anytime I feel like a sleep

True, all the good/classic films come on at 11 or midnight. I normally go to bed at 2 but often times don't get to sleep until 3 or 3.30. I'm completely a night person, even when I had to wake up at 7.30 I would still stay up to 12.30/1 and probably wouldn't get to sleep until much later. I never got into the early start school schedule and hated it the whole way through and in work when I had to return to it I pretty much disregarded it completely, I prefered to extend my freetime to 5/6 hours after 7 instead of just having 3 hours before going to bed.. It's a disaster that the world operates on such a limited, rigid 9-5 schedule but most people are either morning people or don't question what's culturally imposed on them, flexitime is better in many instances.

That is, apparently, our natural sleep cycle: waking up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night.

I can't lie in any more. I find myself lying awake at 8am, bored out of my head but not wanting to get up because it means the day is sooooo long.

MadDog76

During the week I normally go to sleep at 2am and get up at 5.30am ........ yes I am wrecked most days but I'm a night-owl with an early start job so I'm kinda f**ked!
If I ever get a chance of a nap I take it but 3 kids and a wife do everything in their power to prevent the luxury of a nap.

Capt'n Midnight

Sleep is a poor substitute for caffeine.

ArnoldJRimmer

In recent years, I've developed crazy sleeping patterns where during the week at least, I can go to bed as early as 9, and then get up early too. I just find the mornings more appealing now, I can go for a cycle or to the gym if I'm feeling energetic. Even just up and make a nice breakfast rather than grabbing something at work instead. I usually head out for a few beers at the weekend, but much prefer daytime/ evening drinking rather than late nights. Definitely getting very very old

You are pretty much my exact opposite. Given the choice I'd never see the morning at all. Going to bed around 3am and up around 12pm give or take would be pretty much my ideal pattern.
