When do you usually go to bed ( in normal circumstances, not with a newborn :rofl: ) and when do you usually (have to ) wake up?
I'm an owl, I like to stay awake long and I usually don't go to bed before 01am, Friday night even later. When I was younger it was even worse, 03-04 am. I really enjoy quite night hours. I hate early mornings, I would rather be sleeping.
The consequence is that I'm struggling each morning to get up, during week I have to wake up my girls at 06:30am for school. During weekend DH and I sleep a bit ''longer''- 08am :(
My ideal hour to get up would be around 11am :bigsmile: Too bad it never happens :rofl:
Now with 1 month old baby it's a bit diff, she bf 7 times during 24 hours, so still no firm schedule for her, or better said no schedule at all. I take a nap for 1-2 hours ( if the baby allows) when my girls and DH are gone.

I'm usually in bed about 10:30 to 11:00 at night - used to be earlier than this til i found this forum now i have to get my fix once the kids are in bed so it keeps me up a bit longer
I usually get up about 7:15 to get the lads to bed but i have such a great DH at the weekend he lets me lie in sat til 9:00 ish and sun as late as i like (although i do have ME and struggle without my sleep - plus i never stop when i am awake)

The only quiet time is at night so I'm up until around 11pm. I'm up by 6:30. Tired most of the time!

I go to bed around 11 - 11.30 and am up at 6.30 to get ready first before i have to wake the boys up about 7am. Weekends the boys have been taught not to wake mummy and daddy so they usually wake up and play on their beds or sneak downstairs to the play room and me and hubby get up about 8 - 8.30. Sundays we are all by 7 as have swimming lessos at 8 which is soooooo hard but makes for a nice sunday together as a family as without swimming im sure me and hubby would rot i bed until 9-10ish then it would be lunch time by the time we got everyone sorted !
Tonight we are out in brighton for a friends birthday so it might be a late one ( 3-4am) and so how im going to get up for swimming is beyond me !!

I go to bed between 10:30 and 11 usually and am up for work at 7. DD sleeps all night and has done so since she was 7 weeks old she goes to bed between 7:30 and 8 and gets up at 7.15. At the weekends myself and DH take turns with the lie in and occassionally DD might not wake until 9 so we get to lie in together.

I try and be in bed by 1030. However I can lay in bed and not sleep until 1ish some nights. My partner works 4 days out of 14, so those four days I'm up at 645. 4 nights out of every 14 he gets home at 630. I usually wake. Either fall backto sleep for another hour or get up.
Days off Which is 6 out of 14. I get up with the boys at 645. If he lets me sleep in its till 830 but half the time I'm just relaxing and not sleeping.

Zivic at weekdays I don't sleep before 1 o clock. I have to wake up at 7:00. In the weekends it's worse but I can sleep untill half past eight in the morning. I'm due in dec so I will be exhausted with this baby too I think!

I was actually talking about this today, I had to go out last night and I was'nt home until 11.30pm, everyone in my neighbourhood was in bed. There was not one light on, my house is still rocking til 1am. I also hate mornings!!

I wish I could go to bed earlier. I turn off the light at around 1130..I dont sleep too well , never been a good sleeper , so wake up and fall back to sleep. I am out of bed by 8.....unfortunately, gone are the days when going to sleep late results in waking up later...now if I have a late night out with friends or a dinner and go to bed at let's say 2 or 3am, i still wake up at 8 :((((

I hate early mornings. When I used to live on my own in the city (pre kids) I would often go to bed at 1am or 2am and get up at 8am and just make it to work. Now I am married to a farmer. So my boys have to catch a school bus before 8am. They get up before 7am, but they get themselves ready really. If my DH does the school bus run for me some mornings I can sleep in until my DS3 wakes up.
