What time do you go to bed and wake up?

RWCNT

I wake up around 8am and try to go to sleep between midnight and 2am. Occasionally go to bed earlier or later and I can't say that I feel any difference between getting 5 or 8 hours of sleep a night. I do notice that if I get less sleep at night during the week that I tend to nap more on the weekends though.

Hows your sleep?

Sycamore Tree

12 midnight and 8am. I need my sleep.

I would be shattered on less than 7 hours sleep.

Bed at 12 and up at 5, yes I am a sociopath

I've been reading a lot lately about sleep and the effects on our brains. I'll tell ya it's scary stuff how much we're killing ourselves with lack of sleep. I've had my own medical issues relating to the brain in the past and it was my neurologist that got me onto it. There's a Joe Rogan podcast on it #1109 if you're interested.

Depends on how often I've wanked and to what level of intensity

Did you get Matthew Walker's book? I'm only on Chapter 2 but it's fascinating (and scary)

joeysoap

2am and 10am.

Juran

Bed at 10:30 - 11pm .... up at 6am. I need at least 7 hours sleep to function

erica74

Bed at 10:30/11 every night and up at 6 every morning, including weekends because I have to take medication at set times. I'd love to be able to stay up later at the weekend but the medication makes me drowsy and I could fall asleep standing up as soon as it gets to 10:30/11. I have occasionally managed to stay up until midnight but my body wakes me up at 6am because it's so used to being up at 6am.

Zebra3

Bed at 10pm, sleeping by half.

Alarm off some time after 6, up by a quarter past.

Shenshen

I'd go to bed between 10 and 11 most days, but I'd normally then read a bit so won't fal asleep until about 30 mins/1 hour after that.
I get up at 6 during the week.

facehugger99

10.45-ish.

Up at 7.15am.

Like to get the full 8.

KERSPLAT!

Usually asleep between 10.30 and 11.30 and up between 7 and 8.

I'm always tired so either there's something wrong with me or I sleep too much.

catrionanic

I'm 35 weeks pregnant, so I currently go to bed around 10, then wake at 11.30, 2, 4, 5.30 - all to go to the loo. Theres usually another one or two wakeups thrown in on top of this due to my toddler crying, or bad heartburn. I will often will lie awake for a few hours unable to sleep too.

It's great.

That's an extremely long time to be in bed. I'm surprised you done 11 and a half hours until the first toilet break.

inforfun

Too late and too early.

CruelCoin

Technically it's the "full 7".

More or less than 7 = shorter life span.

RIP.

In bed at about 12, up at half 6.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

I've no real waking routine, whenever I wake, I wake. Usually it's in the 7 to 9 slot. Bedtime is normally around 11 and I'll read for up to an hour.

theteal

I get up when I want
Except on Wednesdays
When I get rudely awakened by the dustmen. . . .




Thanks to little miss destructors arrival, I've been up somewhere between 5-7am for the last 2 years. I usually aim to hit the hay at about 10pm

It varies. On average people take 8 when they don’t have an alarm clock. If you are in sleep deficit you would take more than you otherwise would need.

Irish Kings

Try to get to bed before 12, up each morn at 6 to go to local mma gym and then on with the rest of the day.

beertons

Try to be in bed around 1030, asleep by 11. Wake any where between 6&7. Alarm goes off at 7.

_Brian

Get to bed 10:30-11:30
Regularly awake for 4-5 hours during the night.
Come 7:30 I could sleep as an Olympic sport so I make sure I’m out of the cot before that phase kicks in.

Don’t drink any coffee any more, plenty of fresh air, walk 5-7km a day.


Doctor says it’s a hangover from long term shift work and at that time I had a serious coffee addiction (10+mugs a day), proper homeground bean coffee.
Haven’t worked shifts in 8 years but my circadian rhythm is just broken. He’s suggested sleepers but I’m hesitant.

Allot of days I’m running on autopilot inside with screensaver mode on outside.

mirrorwall14

Pregnant. Can’t sleep more than 2-3hrs maximum at a time. Problem is every time in between I wake up like I ****ing lightbulb and then keel over again a few hours later. So I’m something like
Sleep 10-midnight
Awake 12-230ish
Sleep 230ish-5ish
Awake 5ish.

I may or may not snatch another hour before the theee year old wakes at 7. I’m a zombie right now. I’m an 8-9hr sleep person usually. Been signed off work now so at least getting a nap is the day which is keeping me human

optogirl

Bed around 11, asleep by 12, up at 6.15

minikin

I like to snooze off around 10, my screaming passengers don’t seem to like it as much. Get a life bus losers!

snor

Very interesting. All of you who read up on Sleep and have a better knowledge than i have - what is the optimal Amount of sleep per night?
I am usually in bed around midnight, fall straight asleep, week days I am up at 645, weeeknds 10-1030. I always have to set an alarm and seldom awake before it. Always wrecked. Bloods fine. Am I doing something wrong? Prob should try to get to bed earlier.

minikin

‘They’ do say any sleep you get before midnight is very beneficial... may just be psychological as you’re getting two sleeps each day.

I’d imagine a restful nights sleep will leave you waking refreshed, more so than the quantity of sleep. Actively combatting stress in your life may help, rather than going to sleep with problems on your mind.

Recommended average is 8 hours.

eeloe

I try to go to sleep at midnight, usually about 12:30-12:45, get woken by the wife at 7 when she's going to work, get another hour sleep and back up at 8-8:15....that last hour is useless, a broken sleep is not worth anything in my opinion, i should just get up at 7!

GoneHome

Bed between 9.30 and 10.30, up between 6.00 and 6.15 during the working week. Weekends or days off are a different routine though

Chris_Heilong

Go to bed 2am, get up around 8:45 for work. If I went to bed before 2 then I would feel my whole day was a waste of time as all I would have done is worked and went to bed which a crap way to live.

chakotha

Ideally bed before 11.30 and up for 7.30. Nothing beats waking and checking the time at around 1am feeling like it must be 4am.

Friday and Saturday nights are all over the place though. Much later.

feartuath

Bed before 10 pm most nights.
5:15 wake up.
weekend bed by 12ish, usually up by 8am.
