Bedtime/wake up

Sort of stemming from Sarah's post...what time do you go to bed / wake up?  Do you feel you need more / less than you usually get?

Re: Bedtime/wake up

  • During the week I am in bed by 930...asleep by 10ish (after a few rounds of playing Shanghai on my Ipod.)  I wake up at 5 to workout (cardio) 3 days, then 545 the other 2 days to do pilates.  On the weekends, depending what's going on I'm probably asleep anywhere between 11 - 1.  But I always wake up before 730, which I hate.  I wish I could sleep in.

    I think I get enough sleep...sometimes I wake up tired, but after working out 95% time I feel better and more awake.  I need about 7 hours of sleep to function at my best.   

  • I'm usually in bed somewhere between 9:30 and 10 and I wake up at 5:45. Weekends It just shifts a little later on both ends, but not substantially unless I'm out doing something. The cat doesn't let me sleep much later than 7.
  • During the week, I'm in bed by 10pm, and I get up around 5am. On the weekends, I stay up later but am up early, usually by 8am the latest. I could probably use a little more sleep, but I have an hour commute in the morning, so it's not really an option to wake up any later.
  • Go to bed:  about 11ish...fall asleep usually by midnight or 1

    Wake up:  Which time?  I usually wake up a lot throughout the night, but get out of bed about 6AM during the week and 9AM on the weekends

    I know that "studies say" that I should get more sleep, but I've never been a sleeper...people who can actually nap amaze me!

    During the week I usually go to bed about 11 or so. Then wake up anywhere b/w 6-7 b/c I work out in the morning but don't work til 10AM. I usually always feel like I could use more sleep =)

    On the weekend, it ranges on what time I get up or go to bed, depends pretty much if I went out or not Wink

    This! I never thought I could say this b/c I used to work out at night but with my job, had to switch to the mornings. I love how it gets you going in the morning

  • During the week I go to bed between 12:30 and 1 and get up at 6. On the weekends it fluctuates. We almost always go out and get to bed around 3. I'll usually wake up about 8 but lay in bed for awhile. I feel good with that amount of sleep and never nap.
  • I'm pretty sure I'm going to sound like an old hag by my response!

    Regardless during the week or on the weekend, I prefer to be asleep no later then 10:30pm. I like going to bed sometime between 9:30-10 and then I have time to get "ready" for sleep. I can't just fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow, I need some time to unwind. M-F we get up at 6:25am.

    Now, on the weekends I'm pretty much the same way, but I won't say "I can't do X because I want to be asleep my 10." If there is any reason I have to be functioning on Saturday or Sunday then I definitely have to be asleep by midnight and able to sleep until 8am. We usually aren't up until 7:30 or 8am on the weekends.

    I really need 8 hours of sleep to be at my best, I can deal with 7, and barely scrape by with 6. Any less then 6 and you may as well consider me dead to the world. Hahaha.

  • i get to sleep probably around 12 or 1 a.m. and get up around 5:30 a.m. Is it enough? hell no! i'm always tired. but i try and make up for it on the weekends and really sleep in. kyle knows not to wake me up, just let me sleep until i'm up on my own.
  • Oh my gosh I feel like an old lady! I'm usually in bed by 10 and asleep by 10:30. On weekdays I get up at 7 Embarrassed (to be to work by 8).

    Weekends I'm usually asleep somewhere between 10:30 and midnight and get up between 8 and 9.

    I need at least 8 hours of sleep to function properly. 9 or 10 is even better. And I LOVE napping!

  • I like to be in bed by 10 and sleeping by 1030/11.  During the week I wake up between 7 and 8 and on the weekens usually around 9 or 930.  It's definitely different from when I used to go to bed at 2 or 3 and wake up at like 11 everyday!
  • Hi, my name is Tammy and I'm an insomniac.  I try to go to bed sometime between 10-4am since I have to get up at 8.  If I actually do fall asleep on my own, I'm up every hour or two.  If I actually sleep through the night, it's because I took a benedryl.  Oh and my youngest cat wakes me up every morning, with out fail, at 4am regardless so either way sleeping is a huge issue for me.
  • I go to bed during the week around 10:30 or 11:00pm (although the last 2 nights DH and I have been staying awake until midnight and I'm so tired!) We get up at 7am. On the weekends it really just depends on what we do, I love to sleep in but usually never wake up past 8:30am! Wish I could sleep longer!

  • During the week DH and I are usually in bed around 10-10:30 and asleep by 11p. I wake up at 5:30 and no I absolutely do not get enough sleep during the week. I function best on no less than 8 hours. A lot of times I end up falling asleep when I get home from work. My ideal sleep schedule would be from midnight to 8:30-9am, so that's what we end up doing on the weekends, although on days when I don't work and DH does I can easily sleep in until 10a or later, but I hate waking up that late.

  • I need lots of sleep!  My typical weekday night is being in bed between 9&10 and asleep between 9:30&10:30.  Get up between 6&7.  The earlier the better since I need to be at work at 8 and never seem to have enough time to get ready (I get sidetracked easily and like the snooze too much).

    Weekends depend on if we go out.  If we have a mellow night (which is more often lately), I'll go to bed around 11/12 and wake up around 8/9 - wish I could sleep in more but my internal clock keeps getting earlier.
