What time do you go to bed?

Just before 11pm to hopefully be asleep for that time. Wake at 7am.

8 hours of sleep is mandatory for good health, it's the bedrock of every other aspect of health. Reading this book has put the fear of God into me. Highly recommended.

8 hours is not a hard and fast rule though, there is a range that averages 8 hours, some people are fine on 7, others ideally need 9, etc.

And that doesn't even bring quality in to the mix, 6 hours of quality sleep is worth more to your health than 9 hours of poor sleep.
 
I don't really "go to bed" - as I find if I do I can't sleep, so I generally just fall asleep on the couch then if/when I wake through the night I might go to bed then.

But I generally get about 5-6 hours a night, it starts to affect me if I get less than 4 for a few nights in a row
 
1-3am to bed and 5-7am to rise, most of that is due to even after Wife is setup on the dialysis I am always half away in case she needs me. I usually grab an hour during the day.

Now that Paola is in hospital I lay awake till the same kind of time wondering if I will get a call or why the %^%$£"£%^& life is kicking her so much, (I am also the only one fully trained on her equipment so it it has an alarm the nurses call me and I go over to poke it).

Science suggests you're talking rubbish.

What do you mean some people are "fine" on 7 hours? By what metric?

We've evolved over millennia to have 8 hours, and especially in the latest few hundred thousand years of being Homo sapiens we've pretty much had 8 hours of sleep every single night.

Ironically, as individuals, we have little to no concept of how well we've actually slept. Similarly, having less and/or poor sleep disables your ability to know just had badly you've slept. It's a nasty cycle.

It's this prideful/macho nonsense that we wear as a badge of honour that we can do "just fine on less than 8 hours" which is silently, but very dangerously, harming our overall health. Making us fatter, angrier, and more depressed and vastly shortening our lifespan.

Never underestimate the importance of 8 hours of sleep.
 
Bed at 10:00pm, read until 11:00pm latest. I'm up at 7:30am weekdays. I've always been fortunate in that when I'm tired I fall asleep within 5 minutes.

Weekends vary because of going out in the evening. It's normally about 1:30am'ish and then up at about 10:30am-11:00am.
 
Around 1030/11 for me, then up around 530/6. I really suffer though and should go to bed around 10 if I was going to be good to myself.
 
surprising how early most do go to bed. I am in the 10 - 11 pm camp and usually up at 6

Some of my friends who work similar hours are like yeah went to bed at 1 am last night. I dont know how they function
 
Usually about midnight to 1am then I'm up at 7 to 7.30am. I don't get home from work until 6pm so by the time I've worked out or been climbing, cooked food etc, if I went to bed any earlier I wouldn't have time to do anything for myself!
 
Up at 06:00 week days, around 07:30 at the weekend.

School night + gaming = anywhere from 23:00 to 00:30
School night + gaming + wife telling off = anywhere from 22:00 to 22:30 :D
Weekends + gaming = from 23:30 to 02:00

Some nights though, it's nice to jump into the sack around 21:00
