What time do you go to bed?

I think I need to move up my bed time.  Curious what's "normal".

Re: What time do you go to bed?

  • I've always thought my bedtime was 10:30 but if I actually do make it into bed by 10:30, I never actually turn out the lights/tv/computer/whatever until 11 or 11:30. 

    I need to get more sleep.

  • 9:30 pm usually, I use to be fine as long as I was in bed by 11 but this pregnancy has kicked my butt in the sleep department.

  • Usually between midnight and 1 AM. If I didn't have to work the next day, i could stay up way later.
  • I really need to be in bed by 9:30. However I usually fall asleep on the couch until 11 or midnight then go to bed.

  • When we lived in Texas we were in bed between 10-1015 to finish watching the news. Here it's the same thing, except we're on Eastern time, so we're in bed by 11. We really need to stick to the 10pm thing, but we're so used to watching the news it's hard to break that cycle.

  • Funny, DH and I were just discussing today how we need to make ourselves go to sleep earlier. We have a hard time getting up on time and rarely wake up feeling rested. We generally lay down at 10:30, it's been later recently, but might still watch tv/play on the iPad/play with the dogs for any length of time so *actual* sleeping time is usually only about 6 hours. 

    It doesn't help that my preferred sleeping arrangements include complete silence and darkness...whereas DH HAS to have a tv on in the room to sleep because of constant ringing in his ears. 

    I definitely envy people who bounce out of bed and enjoy their mornings! 

  • 11:00 is pretty standard around here.  Between our evening routine with the kids, work stuff, relaxing, etc. 11:00 is usually lights out. 
  • Most nights I get in bed by 8 and watch tv/play on my tablet.  I try to go to sleep around 9.  Anything after 9:30 is late for me!

  • I'm trying to start shooting for 10:30 but I end up wide awake laying in bed.  So it's been closer to 11:30 to midnight.

  • In bed around 10, lights out/tv off between 10:30 and 11. I would stay up 'til 1 or 2, but Mathis used to wake up at 5:30 am and we moved our bedtime up to deal with that. Now, he sleep til 6:30-7, but we still try to get a full night's sleep. It's been good for us, I think!

  • It's erratic right now b/c of the new baby and b/c I'm on mat. leave, so I'll answer pre-baby, when I'm working - Usually midnight.  However, I don't leave for work until around 8-8:30 am, so it's not as late as it seems.  (I usually wake up around 7:30-7:45am).

  • 11 to 11:30 is pretty standard for me. My one-year-old has been waking up frighteningly early lately, but I cannot make myself give up the adult relaxation time after the kids go to bed, dishes are done, lunches are made, etc.

  • I'm jealous of everyone who stays up later than I do, I wonder what time y'all wake up.

    I like to get in bed between 9 - 9:30 every night.  Although sometimes it's closer to 8.  I read until I fall asleep.  Usually that takes 5 - 10 minutes.

    I wake up between 5:30 & 6:30.  And I definitely don't bounce out of bed, I'm no morning person, I enjoy my sleep.

  • I have bad insomnia and usually am not in bed till at least midnight.  If I go to sleep earlier I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and not go back to sleep.

  • Gracious, y'all go to bed late!  DH and I always say we are so old because we can't stay up late.  DH is usually asleep on the couch by 9:30 if he hasn't gone to bed by then.  We like to go to bed together so if he's up past 9:30 then we'll both go to bed between 9:30 and 10.  If he goes to bed earlier then I sometimes stay up until around 10:30, or rarely 11. 

    If I had to pick 1 time I'd say 10pm.

  • Usually between 11:30-12:30.  Too late, but I don't see how else to do it.  After Char goes to bed (b/t 8-8:30), I'm doing dishes, laundry, cleaning up, making her lunch for school if she has it the next day, meal planning, doing Bible study, online doing stuff....and then I usually shower at night and I like to try and watch a show or two on TV while I'm on the computer.  Heck, it's usually 10 or so before I even finish whatever chore I have for the night, and then I just want to relax.  

    Ugh.  I don't know how to move my bedtime up.

    This. Our usual is between 10:30 and 11. By the time we deal with DD, eat and either spend a few minutes relaxing/do stuff that needs to be done around the house, I wouldn't know how to move my bed time back.

    Pretty much this.  I would like to/should go to bed between 10 and 10:30, but most nights I just can't get everything done in time for that.  And when I do I had to run around like such a headless chicken to get everything done, that I'm all wound up and can't sleep.  I usually get in bed between 10:30 and 11 and read until 11 to 11:30.  I'm tired.

    ETA: Like the PPs said I would like to go to bed earlier but I don't know how to make it happen.  I get home around 6, make dinner, eat dinner, play with kiddo for a few minutes, bath, books, put him to bed, we do dishes, make lunches, clean up a little, relax/watch TV for about 30 minutes to an hour then it's showers and we get ready for bed.  I think I need to take shorter showers, or something, I don't know.
