What time do you go to bed and wake up in the morning?

[R.O.S.S.I]

Ive been waking up quite regularly at roughly 4am-5am in the morning for quite some time now (years).

This isn't by choice, I'm not setting an alarm, I'm not bursting for a wee, I'm not too hot or anything like that but I'm just waking up naturally really early and I'm wondering if it is something that may need exploring further or its just my body is getting enough rest every night.

Granted, I do go to bed quite early, will generally be in bed and asleep between 9.30 and 10.30pm and don't really ever have late nights but it's actually getting quite frustrating now that I can't seem to "sleep in" and feels like once I'm awake Im pretty much fully awake.

I don't drink a lot of coffee either, I have a max of one a day probs around 8/9am so not sure if is the coffee impacting my sleep.

I had been reading that I could be a sign of some underlying medical issues but I'm just curious if the amount of sleep I'm getting is about average or more or less than others?

I have absolutely no issues in falling asleep and will generally be out like a light in a matter of mins.

Again I know this is quite a vague and broad question as every one is different and everyone will need different amounts of sleep to function.

I do wake up early, admittedly not quite as early as you on a reggular basis, 6 am/5:30 am is not unusual.

If I wake up at "night" anything past about 4am I usually will get up as I know Ill never get back to sleep.

The Mrs is the opposite, she could sleep until midday, I am quite jealous actually.

My Mrs is the same, she could sleep in a washing line.

She is a midwife and works shifts so I guess she is built a bit diff to me when it comes to ceasing any sleep she can get haha.

I imagine my sleep pattern may change once children come along but my MIL made a good point to my partner is that my earlier rising sleep pattern will be a blessing when there is a little one to tend to.

Im also going to start cutting coffee out to see if that helps. I only really have one per day at around 9am, so you would hope it doesnt interfere with sleep but it would be good to find out. I also think our bed is pretty rubbish as it is an inherited memory foam jobby, thankfully will be buying a nice big pocket sprung boy when we move in the next few months.
