Zzz ... ?

Before I retired I liked to be at school by 7.30 to 8. DH saw the children off to school, and I could then be home sharpish after school finished, for them. We were all often in bed by 9 and no matter how hard we have tried, we still go to bed early and wake up at 6
I am often awake during the night but try not to disturb DH. He can sleep for hours and will often have a longish nap in the day. 15 mins. does me.
Now we don't get up immediately but watch Breakfast tv.

I've always been an Owl but I'm awake later than usual as I've been out with friends to see Showaddy waddy.
Never rated them, years ago but they were really good.
So, I usually go to bed any time from 11.30 to 1am depending on how early I was up that morning.
I never read or browse in bed and I'm usually asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow.
Whatever time I go to bed, I'm up by about 7.45 to 8am.
I love my bed and never scrimp on anything to do with comfort.

<checks clock> It's almost 1.30am, and I am wide awake, as usual. I get up between 8am and 9.30am, depending on when I finally fall asleep. I seem to survive on very little sleep, some nights only three hours.

I have taken tonights tablets too. They haven't kicked in yet.

I go to bed at about 11, and get up when I wake up, usually at about 8.

I'm up unusually late because I have had a lazy day and don't feel tired yet.

I have had insomnia for about 40 years related to my RLS and no sleeping pull has helped. Bed at around 11.30 and read until I fall asleep. Usually sleep for about an hour and that's it for several hours. Probably get another hour around 6am. Sometimes i don't sleep at all and on occasion have had two nights in a row where i haven't slept.
A good night gets me 3 hours of broken sleep.
My dh says he can't understand how my body keeps going.

I'm always the last one to go to bed simply because I love the opportunity to be alone and have a bit of time to myself at the end of each busy day. I often plan to do an hour or so of family history research, but it can turn very quickly into several hours, so whilst I may aim to be in bed by about midnight it can be much later before I actually drag myself away. In the mornings I get up at about eightish, or sometimes earlier if I need to be at morning meetings, later if I've slept badly and don't have to be anywhere.

Right now everyone else has just gone up to bed and I'm sitting in front of a warm fire and relaxing. The Christmas tree at my side smells wonderful, but remains reprovingly naked and I'm hoping that maybe my sons will dress it tomorrow - but I won't lose any sleep over it.

We're in bed at 9pm, straight to sleep, then normally awake at 5 am.Were trying to go to bed later now DH retired, but failing miserably at the moment. The only reason I'm up now is because DGC are here, we fell asleep at 9pm, one of them woke up having a bad dream and the baby has woken up three times already, managed to get away with putting the dummy back in so far, but don't feel confident it's going to be a good night,so downstairs, don't know if it's better to try and go to sleep even if it's only for a short while or stay up.

You're not a burglar are you urmstrong

Bed anytime between 10.30 and midnight. If I fall asleep straight away I will usually sleep till around 8. If my tinnitus is bad I may be awake for an hour at that point I usually get up and sit in a chair For an hour or so and then try again.

Most nights I go to bed around 1.30 am, spend ages trying to get to sleep, up once, sometimes twice in the night for toilet visit, then get up, with the alarm, around 8 to 8.30 am. If I don`t set the alarm, I sometimes sleep till between 9 and 10 am.

I'm usually up by about 08:30, but sometimes it's later as I am a poor sleeper. I'm up a couple of times in the night, and when back in bed have difficulty getting back to sleep.
I go to bed at about 10:30 - 11:00 pm but don't go straight to sleep. I need time to wind down, so I visit Gransnet and read or play Scrabble.

I’m usually asleep around midnight and tend to wake up (but not get up!) at 7ish, though we have to set the alarm and be up earlier on the days we look after our grandsons. My MiFit monitors my sleep and confirms that my average is currently about 7 hours a night. I do have a couple of bad nights a month when I wake in the night and just can’t get back off.

We have become night owls now we no longer have to get up for work. The dogs wake us up at 7am. DH gets up first to let them out and I follow about twenty minutes later when I know he's made the tea!

We both sleep like logs. DH gets up once during the night and I sometimes do but not always.

I often drop off after the six o'clock news and it's the One Show music that wakes me up. DH has short naps throughout the day.

I always aim to get to bed by 10.30, but fail miserably almost every night! So it ends up about 11.00, then I read for 20-30 minutes. If I'm lucky I'll get to sleep quickly and wake only a couple of times for a loo visit. (Last night, almost unheard of, I woke only once). More often, though I'll wake between 4 and 6 times, having sometimes spent 1.5-2 hours trying to get to sleep in the first place.
I consequently wake around 8.00 feeling exhausted, but reluctant to go back to sleep because then I'd be there till 10.00 or later .

Go to bed at 10 so asleep by 10.30 and wake about 7. My DH sleeps before me and wakes up later so around 9 hours. He has had a bad night if he wakes up twice!

Watch paper review then bed in time for the 11.00pm news.

Wake up in the night, then again about 7.30. Don’t get up until 9.15am listen to ToDay

I’m in bed by 10.30 but usual read or catch up online with news or family. I’m awake before 6 earlier in Summer get a cuppa and read or watch the news till 7.30/8ish in bed. I used to wake 2/3 times but lately I’m sleeping better with no bathroom visits.

I am exhausted mentally and physically, then I go to bed!! Unfortunately I am immediately wide awake, brain races from one subject to the next.
Husband goes to bed at 10.00 pm, straight to sleep, snoring.
I have been continuously tired for the last 11 years.

Urmstongran, I'm a bit of an insomniac, as you will notice by the times of some of my posts.
Usually up 6.45am, sometimes a wee bit later if I have had a bad night painwise.
Two or three times to the bathroom.
GN is a lifesaver for me, when I can't sleep.

I set off for bed at about 10 pm, but it takes about an hour to get as far as bed - OH needs to be un/dressed and given all meds etc. Every time I think we will get it done quicker, we fail! And often we do not wake till about 8.30/9 am. Then the whole rigmarole in reverse means that I often do not get everything done and ready to start the day till 10/11!!!!

DGS is often delivered to my bed on the days I look after him - he is used to helping me dress and get breakfast.

My sleep pattern is terrible at the moment.
Bed by 12 or 1am, then awake almost hourly through the night.
Until its time to get up, of course, then I feel I could sleep all day!
