What time are you going to bed

I am usually awake by 5am and tend to go to bed to read at 9pm, unless there is something I particularly want to watch on television. Mind you my sleeping pattern is getting more erratic as I age. I often wake in the night and read for a couple of hours or sit on this. Then sleep until 7am. It doesn’t bother me as being retired I have 24/7?

We’re normally in bed at 10, then read for 20 minutes or so as MrJ is usually working, so the alarm goes at 6:30, even today. Sometimes at the weekend we’ll be later, or if we’re out.

I am usually up before 7am and am ready for sleep at 10.30. Always in bed by 10 for a half hour of reading.

I go to bed about 10. I get up 6-6.30.

I’m a lark, not an owl. Often fall asleep before going to bed, but then it ‘spoils’ me getting off to sleep quickly.

I like to be in bed as soon as the news at 10 comes on. I sometimes read or more often than not I go straight to sleep and wake up at 6. Ive always needed lots of sleep.

I am the same as Kali2 about 12.30 (and an hour in advance) but I don’t usually sleep until 1 am+. However, I don’t want to sleep late and miss the morning so the alarm wakes me up seven hours later, if I haven’t woken up beforehand.

About 11pm unless doing childcare which is early then 10pm.

We always go after News at 10 and Newsnight, and we are an hour ahead- so usually at 12.30 ish.

I do exactly the same. I don't think it is necessarily ageing though, if you are an early riser.

I have noticed that since the night has started to draw in that by 9.30ish i can hardly keep my eyes open and usually i am watching something interesting on TV and knitting. So i welcome the 10pm news as i then switch off and go to bed and read my latest library book for about 15mins before snuggling down for the night. Its usually about 10.30pm. I used to staty up at least till 11pm if not later but dont seem to be able to now. Is this another sign of aging!!!???
