Good morning!


Today's question is about sleep

What time do you usually go to bed and get up?

I'm usually up until about 3 or so in the morning and get up at around 10.  It seems to work pretty well as I usually don't work until noon.  And I've discovered that if I stay up late and play with the cats for a while, they sleep most of the morning away and don't wake my up at 5

I'm usually in bed around 10 and get up around 5 (I have a long commute which has gotten worse this year due to major construction work).

Lately I have found that I'm falling asleep earlier at night, often right after the news at 10. Our Old Ladies (Bootser and Whisper) have developed a habit of awakening us around 4:00 in the morning for their breakfast. We manage to fend them off until around 5:00 or, which is the time Rick normally awakens for work throughout the week. I get up with them on weekends and while they're having breakfast, I make a cup of coffee and bring it back to the computer where I post here for an hour or so. Then we start our day.

Since the Old Ladies have started to get me up so early now, I'm really having trouble staying awake at night. I am definitely sleep-deprived. Rick says that he's going to give me the gift of sleep.....he's going to pay for me to spend a night at a local motel and then I won't have to get up until I feel like it (or until the motel's check-out time, whichever comes first).

During the week, I go to bed around 9:30 and read for a while. I wake up at 6:30 to be at school for 8am. I just started college on Monday so this schedule is new to me.

I usually fall asleep on the couch sometime between 1 and 2 in the morning.  I'll wake up there and go climb in bed a few hours later at the most.  Lately I don't get up till 9:30 or so.  This works because DD doesn't go to bed till 10 so she sleeps till about 10 in the morning.  I was trying to get up between 8:30 and 9 so I had more time to shower; but this just seems to be what works for me; esp if the baby has me awake during the night.  Our schedule is odd for a toddler; but because of DH's work schedule she wouldn't see him for more than a few minutes a day during the week otherwise.  This way we get to all have diner together and they get some playtime together too.

Lately, I have been getting up at 5:30 since I am required to work overtime. I have to be at work around 7am. We got to bed around 9pm but I normally read to about 9:30-10pm. I get up a bit later on weekends.

It just depends. I usually go to bed at midnight, except when I have to work the next day I go to bed a little earlier. I wake up at 6 am when I have to work and like 10 am when I am not working.

I have insomnia that comes and goes, so I usually go to bed around 1:30, but once or twice a week it's not until 5am. During the work week I'm usually up by 7:30-8 and then on the weekends I generally sleep in later to "make up" for lack of sleep during the week.

I stay up a bit later now that I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn anymore - for now anyway :lol3:. I am usually up till about 11 p.m. and get up about 7 a.m. But I don't sleep through the night. I am up at least twice letting my older dog, Wilbur, outside. :D Not many :sleep: hours of good sleep for me right now... ;)

I used to go to bed around 10-10:30 and get up around 6:30. Lately been staying up later since my situation has changed, and getting up around 7:15ish.

Weekends I stay up til whenever and get up whenever unless I have something particular to do.
