What time do you go to bed

Post by veryn »

Just curious. Was speaking to a colleague and he mentioned going to bed at 11pm (to start at 630)
I could never stay up that late :shock:
Normally go to bed at 9pm ,up for 530am. If it's winter/xmas probably earlier - 8pm.

About 1000-1030pm up at 530am, around 7 hours sleep is pretty reasonable.

Between 10:30 to 11:30pm to get up at 5.50am. But some Friday night I go to sleep at 2.30-3.00am after dancing and back to work at 7am. (I do sleep after work)

About 11, no point going to bed any earlier as I just lie awake til about midnight anyway. Up anywhere between 5:15 and 6. No it's not enough kip.

Between 12:00am and 02:00am, up at 07:00 for a 08:15 start. Get home between 2 and 3, quick lunch and chill then maybe out for a cycle most days anywhere between 20-60 miles.

Being part-time and family free aint too bad. :nana

I'm ok for 11:30pm for two days after a day off but need 10:30 for the rest and a big lie in once a week. (7am start)

EDIT: a big lie in is about 9am these days, usually up just after 6am.

rarely in bed before midnight, alarm on for 6am, start work at 6.30.

5 hours sleep is all I ever need, have tried going to bed earlier but I still wake up after 5hrs and just lie there then waiting for my alarm to go off
