    My title went askew, What would YOU consider an Early Night ? ? Midweek. I love a light meal, Change the bed, Shower, and go to bed feeling clean. No earlier than 9.30, You ?

    Before midnight is early for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents


    Anything before 10:30 pm I consider early.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    On a school night 9 would be early, 10/11 normal and 12 or after late. The weekend it'd be early before 12

    1 is early for me

    I wouldn't class it by what time I went to bed at, more by how much sleep I have before I need to get up. 9+ hours in an early night for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    Weeknights, before 11pm is early, weekends before midnight is early.

    Seven consecutive hours in the kip is a good sleep, be that morning, noon or night.

    I'd say I still believed in Santa the last time I would have been in bed at 9.30 PM when I didn't have to be up for work at 1 or 2 am


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,158 ✭✭✭thattequilagirl


    10 is standard on a school night, 9.30 an early night. I love sleep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,438 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    I think the earlier you go to bed the harder it is to get up in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,518 ✭✭✭✭One eyed Jack


    I'd consider heading to bed at 8 o clock an early night, don't get the chance too often though. Usually these nights I'm in bed by 11, as opposed to before where I never went to bed at all, well, rarely anyway!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,707 ✭✭✭arayess


    i get up at 5.30 so i'm in bed 9.30-10 most nights.
    I guess 8 is early for me

    I need booze to be away to stay up after 10.30 these days.

    If you mean 10pm, that's 4 bells.

    Before 10.30 would be early for me. After 11.30 is late.

    What's 11pm?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    What's 11pm?

    6 Bells, 1st Watch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭Olishi4


    About 9 or 9.30. Now its completely different if OH suggests an "early night", then sleep is usually not on the agenda :p

    If I go to bed too early I wake up in the middle of the night unable to go back to sleep which defeats the purpose of having an early night


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,499 ✭✭✭✭Caoimhgh1n


    I would consider 10 an early night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,997 ✭✭✭Adyx


    It varies a lot but generally on a weekday, 2am would be early. At the weekend early would probably be 5:30am. It's usually closer to 6 though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,915 ✭✭✭The flying mouse


    For me its not actually the time i go asleep but how many hours i get, 5/7 hours a night does me,so if i go asleep at 11 i be up at 5/6...and i m grand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,089 ✭✭✭Lavinia


    "Early" is anything that gives me less than 8 hours sleep I suppose :)

    (if I could chose that is)

    But usually I'm never turning the light off (read computer :rolleyes:) before 11pm..


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I would be in bed by 8 sometimes, but usually to watch a movie or put in a few hours reading. Especially in the winter, when the weather is bad and the evenings are dark.

    I do wake extremely early though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,093 ✭✭✭fineso.mom


    I'm in bed right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    On a school night, anything before 10 is early, after 11.30 is late.


  • Posts: 21,679 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm a night owl. Being asleep by midnight is an early one for me.

    It's funny you should ask since all day long today I was planning to have an early night tonight.
    That would be 7pm since I usually go to bed around 8/half 8.

    I used to be one of those people to stay up really, really late but that's changed now. I guess I'm a very responsible grown-up.
    Or just really tired.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭Fox_In_Socks


    Going to bed at 10.45 in order to sleep at 12. That's my routine for weekdays if I'm working. Early to bed would be 10pm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭PLL


    I'm pregnant so after I put my daughter to bed at 7.30, I'll usually have a shower, a hot drink,go to bed, watch something and pass out. So that is probably early but pregnancy destroys me and my bed is my only comfort.

    Usually early to me would be 10 during the week, 12 at weekends, if I wasn't cultivating human life.

    Sounds like you're using a petri dish:pac:

    I was professionally unemployed until this year. Then days were for sleeping, nights were for drinking / smoking / movies. Don't envy that, it is a way of avoiding life.
    Now I am no longer a "burden on so...so ...soc..society" I hit the hay at 10.30 or so and get up at 5.30. This I see lasting for about 8 more months. Reality is nice for a holiday, woldn't want to live there and all that.
    Part 3 is in the planning stages. But it involves a beach and sobriety.

    Not advocating for anyone to chose to be unemployment but sometimes an extended break from life is healthy. A while back I was off work for a about 6 weeks due to illness, and spent a lot of the time just watching movies/drinking/playing games/shutting the entire world out.

    Wouldn't be able to do it for any longer than I did, but it was a nice respite from the responsibilities of life.

    As for early...work nights, 10pm is an early night, weekends, I suppose anything before midnight is an early enough night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭The One Doctor


    With a 15 month old? 2100 is early. 2230 is normal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,421 ✭✭✭AppleBottle


    Around 10/10:30 on a week night would be early.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭mud


    I usually go to bed after midnight but struggle to switch off. I've often flipped my schedule and was going to sleep at 9am and waking at 4pm. That's a rubbish way to live though.

    I'm back on an early to bed, early to rise buzz at the moment and I feel much better for it.

    I'm in bed now after a lavender bath having a smoke and possibly a spoon of Benylin to haste me into the arms of Morpheus.

    I'll be up early tomorrow to help the Mothership with dinner. Her and Da are Catholic so we pretty much get Christmas dinner again at Easter. Score.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 988 ✭✭✭wurzlitzer


    12 is early
    2 pm late

    I survive on 5 to 7 hours during the week

    Weekends get 8 hours kip

    But school nights 5 hours on average

    I'd consider before 1:30am an early night currently. I'm a poor sleeper generally though so I tend to go to bed late.

    Aaaaaaand I'm still wide awake. I think I put too much emphasis and effort into this early night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,210 ✭✭✭Samsgirl


    9 would be early. 10 would be late during the week. 12 at weekends. Kids up at 6.30am regardless..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,521 ✭✭✭✭mansize
