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

10.30 sleep, wake at 7.30 now. After struggling with sleep for many years it was suggested i check out Matthew Walkers book "Why we sleep". It's the first self help book i've actually found useful and have been recomend it to all friends and family. He has done many interviews on YT and even a TED talk on the subject of sleep.

TLDR: have a regular time that you goto sleep and wake up. Caffine, Alcohol and Cannabis all interfere with sleep.... gutted lol
 
Usually bed around 11-12, up at 7, although the last couple of weeks I've been up for an hour ~3-4am since our 2 year old is going through a phase of waking up and needing some milk :rolleyes:
 
10/11 Sleep - Wake 0630/0700 Always broken sadly and always feel rough in the morning like ive been hit by a car :cry:
 
3am sleep and 7.30am awake.

Going to bed in the early morning has been my preferred routine since I was at Uni, 20 years ago. Any earlier just feels unnatural to me, complete night owl. Job is a standard 9-5.

Usually sleep around 11pm to 7am in the week. Weekends I can easily sleep in pretty well! I’m very much not a morning person at all.
 
During the week I'm in bed around midnight and up at 7.45am

On the weekends I tend to go to bed at about 4am and get up at around 11am.

Been this way for as long as I can remember.

I do need a good night's sleep though. If I don't have one I tend to be in a terrible mood the next day. I also live next to a relatively noisy footpath, so earplugs are a must.

I'm on call 24/7 and the last few weeks have been hard. Lots of 4am finishes and 9am starts have left me battered, Then a mate came round and after 20 mins announced everyone in his household had Covid.. Apart from him and his breastfed baby!!!!
That night symptoms hit me... Thought it was just being run down... Especially as testing negative... Then the Mrs started, And she tested positive.. Despite us working from home and not having left the house for the previous week as been too busy.
 
Sleep at about 1am, alarm at 7:30. Mornings are a rush, with getting the kids dropped to the bus stop or school and starting work before 9. Worse on the days I go into the office (only a 20 minute drive, though).

Don't like going to bed early: it's the only peaceful relaxing time I get.

Revenge Bedtime Procrastination is an interesting concept, and quite possibly what I'm doing.
 
Natural pattern is awake until 3 or 4am then about 8 hours sleep.

I'm endlessly struggling to push those tubes into actual life requirements.
 
I usually go to bed between 0:30 and 1am, and wake up at 9:30am.

I try to go to bed earlier, but with having American friends means I'm trapped in the time zones.
 
bed 9-10pm, up 2-4am when working - no problem getting up, usually wake before the alarm but sometimes need to have a few hours sleep in the afternoon after lunch

bed 12-1am, up 8-9 when not working
 
Used to be about 10-11 and wake up 6-7 but that changed last year with WFH and since the clock change last autumn I think

Now go to sleep around 1am and wake up 8am

Need to try and hit the sack a bit earlier though I think. It is all hit and miss during the week tho as I’ve found sometimes you feel better with less sleep, so as someone said all depends on the quality

I’ve been trying to do 21:30-22:00 for lights out until 6ish during the working week. My aim is 21:30-05:30.

I find living in a city makes it hard to sleep well. Noisy people in the street and neighbours at all hours. Can’t lie in as school kids and cars are noisy and then lots of people make noise at night.

Fortunately only specific things wake me up - car alarms, other alarms, people making noises directly outside my door even quiet ones - I can easily sleep in a busy city environment.

Weird one as I can easily sleep with someone in the next room doing DIY hammering and drilling but if they make the slightest noise loitering outside my door = instantly awake.
