Going to bed

I love our bed. Usually go to bed any time between 10 and 11, read for a while, or am on my Ipad, which is not good for me. When DH was working, and often away for a few days at a time, I hated going to bed alone and would stay up until all hours, finding things to keep me up. But not now.

Love my bed and I don’t have any problem sleeping, most of the time go to bed around 10 and sleep hits me as soon as my hit the pillow until around 8 or even later.

I believe in "why run when you could walk?, why walk when you could stand still?, why stand when you could sit down?, why sit when you could lie down?????"

Having said that I do realise that there are quite a lot of folk, especially old folk, who don't have a choice. So I force myself to be more energetic than my lazy self might like.

I love going to bed, the earlier the better. I read, look at the iPad or watch television. Television in the bedroom is frowned on by many, but I think it’s heaven. Lights out between ten and eleven, wake around 5.30 (or earlier if I’m unlucky), up by 7-ish. I’m a creature of habit now, and hate any disruption to my routine.

we tend to sit until 2am or later chatting and listening to music.Now that we're semi retired we can lie in most days well except for the three where GD needs driven the 15 miles to school when its 8.30 out of the door so I'm up at half seven and OH falls out of bed at 8'15 washes his hair and has breakfast in the 15 minutes before he has to go....now sometimes we do go back to bed if theres nothing much happening ,but usually a cuddle and a chat not to sleep

I am usually in bed well before my DH. I don't watch TV, he does, so I take my laptop to bed and watch English TV on Youtube, or a DVD. Sometimes I might read or listen to one of the numerous podcasts I have downloaded from the BBC, whilst doing Sudoku or solitaire card games on the tablet.

It's not very comfortable, though - I certainly sleep much on the settee. But I have to put the clock from the lounge into the kitchen because the ticking drives me mad!

I go to bed between 10:30 and 11:00. I never settle down for sleep then though. I'm usually still awake after midnight either reading or Gransnetting or doing sudoku or word games.
When I was young my Mother would go to bed, and seeing my light on would say, "Hilda put the book away and go to sleep". I've always been a night owl.

I am better out of bed than in it, all the aches and pains get worse when lying down. Strange that I can sleep like a baby on the settee, even sitting up.

I love my bed once I’m in it, but I don’t like to miss out on anything interesting downstairs and hate the palaver of getting there - the pills, the teeth, the face, the creams - so put it off and don’t usually make it with my book till after midnight. No problem as I don’t have to get up early most days, though I do get told off by my MiFit.

I remember a ghost story that kept my hands firmly under the covers after lights out - someone reaching out for the clock or something and a ghostly hand taking theirs. And an opening episode of Luther where the baddie was under the bed.

Eglantine you only need to worry about the burglar in the wardrobe if he’s trying on your clothes!! I used to get my father to look under the bed every night as a child. These days, we go to bed around ten and I play scrabble on my Nintendo for a while. I after lie awake for ages after lights out, so I might as well be up!

I like my bed too, I don't sleep very well but enjoy snuggling down with a good book. My dogs insist I get up at 8am to take them out.

I love my bed . I just wish I could sleep better when I’m in it . I find it easy to fall asleep in the chair but as soon as my head hits the pillow the sweats start and my mind races. It’s all downhill after that .

I'm in bed just after 10pm most nights, and glad to get there. I usually read for half an hour or so and then go off to sleep quickly. Most nights have to get up to spend a penny around 2/3am and then get up about 6.30. Shower and a coffee to get the day going. I hate lying in bed once I'm awake.

I love going to bed where I can relax with a good book and read until midnight which I use as my cut off point.

I find that I am going to bed earlier and frequently find myself in bed before 10.30pm having had a shower and my hot water bottle is keeping my bed warm. My cat then joins me for cuddles.

I used to be a night owl but I am now up around 7am most mornings. This I think is because of work I was up very early every day and that is difficult to change. Also my cat rarely allows me to have a lie in without waking the neighbourhood with her screams.

I love going to bed, it is so comfortable settling in with a hot water bottle behind my back. I usually go at around 10pm.
It’s the getting out of it in the morning that I dislike. I’m getting very lazy these days

We have been up since 5.45 am. We wake up naturally after years of setting the clock to get a bit of peace and quiet before all the children erupted into our room.

I love my bed too and often go about 9.30 and read for an hour or so.

Good morning, this lark was in bed by 10.30 and woke naturally at 5.30 and got up. I have been pottering quietly downstairs since then, getting so much done because all is quiet, that I decided I had time to look through Gransnet.

I quite enjoy the dark mornings, cosy and warm in my study with my radio and a large mug of coffee.

Love going to bed and often go early but so does my husband as he gets tired but don't go before he does. Hate getting up as I love a lie in but work means I have to be up at 7 which isn't bad but still hate it

I went to bed at 10.30 and haven't slept a wink due to aching legs. Now up , on grans net and drinking Irish coffee

I am still up, partly because I don't want to be awake in the early mornings when it is still dark..

Its only of late that I spend time in or on my bed. I used to hop out the second I woke up, and only go to bed when I wanted to sleep. Now I fetch supplies in with me, and a coffee. Maybe that's why I don't sleep well these days.

I put it off as long as possible, as I sleep so badly. I have become a night owl, when I used to be a lark.

Yes, I love my bed.
H and I usually go to bed at 11pm. I'm nodding off in front of the TV by then and could sleep for a few hours but once I move upstairs I'm then wide awake and spend the next
2-3 hrs using my Kindle.

Hop in quickly then, and don't let any body parts hang out of the bed during the night.

I've washed up and made the camomile tea. I really am going to bed now......
