Re: What time do you go to bed?
Usually between 11 and 12 but that's because we have later starts so I get more than enough sleep (5/6 hours) although whenever my insomnia kicks in it could be as little as 1/2 hours sleep
(and trust me, after 2/3 months of severe insomnia you'll go a bit
).

Re: What time do you go to bed?
day off 2moro, hence the late time of this...I usually go about 10.30pm, up for 6am or 5am, depending on duty. Could do with more though!

Around 2.00, (up at 6.00) and in for between 7am-8am, depending on day
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: What time do you go to bed?
Up at 5.15, in an hour later, hours kip before kids get home, in bed by 11.30. Trouble is though, sometimes you get to that stage where you think you need all the sleep in the world, but a few weeks later, your only getting 3/4 hours. Does anybody else find it difficult sometimes?

Re: What time do you go to bed?
When I used to start at 5:30am I used to get up at 4:30am and I was asleep before 7pm lol
Now I work mainly afternoons so I can go to bed whenever I like :-)

I go to bed at 10 ish and read until my eyes start to go and then get up at 0400, however I do go to bed in the afternoon from about 1.30 to 3.30 - the wife calls me Rip van Wrinkle.

Re: What time do you go to bed?
For me it is not "what time do you go to bed " but more like what time or where do you go to sleep.
Usually on the chair/sofa, middle of conversation,at parties/cinema/theatre/pub.
Usually find that warmth times alcohol is equal to horizontal plus dribble.
