What time do you go to bed

When I’m tired, which is often by 10 pm nowadays. I will almost always read for at least half an hour before nodding off, though, and same again when I’m awake in the night. I’m often downstairs in the small hours making a cup of tea or cocoa to take back to bed.

How tired I am/how late it is when I go to bed unfortunately has absolutely no bearing on whether I sleep relatively well or not.

I have alwaqys required more sleep than the majority of my age. Great nuisance when I was yung, although I managed happily when I was doing night feeds for babies. As I fostered very m any newborns, did night feed for a long time, my opprtunity to read. Loved the peace and quiet of these feeds.

In my eighties now, and I turn off my laptop by 8 eachevening, (we are warned not to watch screens if we want a good nights sleep). Do have tv on, (using recorded programmes on my Hiumax, and avoid late night news). G to bed beween .9.30 and 10.00. ONce in bed, I sit up''doing paoer Sudoki puzzles and listening to audio books. Around 10..30 -11.00 settle down to sleep (after one last visit to loo). Usually manage to get to sleep within half an hour. Usually wake just after 2 pm for trip to Loo,, back to bed and fall back to sleep. Another sometime between 4.30 and five then back to sleep and wake up with alarm at 7.45.

I do need to sleep during the day, particularly after my light lunch at midday, for about an hour, and then again for about half any hour after my evening meal at 5. 30pm.

Generally go to bed at 11pm. Up at 130to toilet, due to the new meds, then again at 3.30am. Up at 730 to start the day.

1. when i feel like it and depending on what is happening the next day
2. It varies

I’m terrible…started decades ago…live alone, go to bed at c. 1/2 am, occasionally earlier. Can’t ever sleep til 3/4am so read etc til I get sleepy…the get up when I wake …usually about 12 midday! If I have an appointment or similar I have to set the alarm, but I’m like a wet lettuce if I don’t get 8 hours somehow!
I’m 77, have kidney disease and type 2 unmedicated diabetes, asthma etc, so am fatigued as part of those diseases.
I work part time/ semi retired, from home so am a night owl.
. It all started with sleep apnoea decades ago ( maybe even earlier, as the only time I had to myself was late at night when the kids were asleep?) - I hated the sleep apnoea mask and could not put it on til the late early hours when I was exhausted, which was 3/4am …and so began a pattern. Oddly it suits me, and I can work with it, but it’s highly anti-social! I just work things around the problem …but there are days I have to be up at 8.30. And that kills me! And YES,I’ve tried every sleep remedy under the sun - I always relapse!
As a youngster I always assumed ‘old’ people automatically got up early as they needed less sleep…total opposite is the case for me!

Love my bed! Hot blanket on about 8.30 then jump in as soon after nine as possible. Sometimes read, sometimes listen to audio books. Usually wake about 5.30 and light on at 6am. Cuppa in bed and read the paper on my iPad then up about 8 am.

I'm in bed by 9pm most nights as still working full time and usually ready to drop by then! Get woken up at least once to go to the loo but usually sleep well until I get up about 6.30ish.

We eat at 7pm and the dogs and i go to bed at 8pm. They snooze and i do all sorts. Check dogs under threat of death in Ohio’s Columbus shelter and write posts to get them help. Check my bank accountd online, do Sudokus in Tomes and Telegraph and then settle down to watch a couple of good murders. Otherwise i listen to my audio books. Sometimes i fall asleep but then at 11pm i take my little dogs outside for a last wer. Then the light goes off and i switch on to the old 3 hour shows by Steve Allen and i am asleeep until i have to go to the loo about 4am and all the tome Steve was burbling away in the backgrojnd. I live with my som and like to give him
Peace and quiet after a long day at work so he watched football and dome esoteric TV shows that need real attention. I am ashamed to say i even watched Big Brother last night. No intellect required for that! I do not sleerp very well and never have. Who cares at my age?

Im a night owl go to bed between 12-1 takes about 30 minutes to get to sleep. Then sleep for 6 hours only, cannot get past 6 hrs then toss and turn until I get up at 9.

I generally get into bed at around 3am, but I can't sleep until at least 9.30/10.00am, and even then, it's for a maximum of 2.5 hours.
I generally sleep maybe 3 times a week for a weekly grand total of between 6.5 and 7 hours

I would go to bed and sit up all hours on my iPad until we got a puppy now I’m in bed by 10.00 and asleep by 10.30 🐶

I’ve changed my sleep routine fairly recently because I was fed up with waking every 2 - 3 hours at least twice every night and it taking ages to drift off again. So…..stopped drinking cups of tea by 4 pm …..only drink water now with our evening meal and during the evening if I get thirsty…..and no snacking either! In bed by 10 pm - manage to listen to maybe half a BBC podcast before drifting off and am now sleeping right through till about 5.30 or 6 am. Then drift in and out of a light sleep for an hour or so and get up by 7am every morning. Feel so much better now I’m gett g longer and deeper periods of sleep- wish I had thought this whole sleep cycle through and made the changes ages ago.

Between midnight and 1.30 am. Have a read of Kindle to put myself to sleep, usually about 20 mins. Wake about 5 am, read and try to fall asleep again. Up 7.30 - 8 am but slow start to the day u less one of the usual days I have an activity arranged.

I go up between 1.30/2.00am. Having binge watched crimes/ murders etc. Shetland starts tonight, yippee!
Got the free online papers, Mirror, Sun,Daily mail, read them from cover to cover, so wish Times, Telegraph did a free online version.
Then play games, majong, word searches etc. Asleep by 2.30ish.
Then up by 11am, watch morning TV, brunch about 1pm, zizz for an hour around 2/3 , and repeat….
I love the lack of ‘clock stress’ now!
My husband is complete opposite, bed by 10, up at 6, but it works well for us 🤪

Go to bed between 11.-12pm.
I should go earlier but there always seems to be something interesting to watch on telly.

Usually asleep, hopefully by 1 am.
Always wake up early and wish I could nod back off, but I never can.
I’m fortunate that I don’t need ever to get up in the night for the toilet.

We go up at 10, will read for an hour or so, then put the light out and try and sleep, usually I can drop off with 30 mins occasionally if I can't I will read another chapter, but I seem to sleep in 2-3 your bursts before I need the loo unfortunately, I can usually drop off again but if I can't I will read but no more than 2 chapters. Wake about 7.00am I will make a cuppa another read, but unless we have an appointment we don't get up till 8.30am , shower and dress straight away then breakfast.

I usually go upstairs at 11 pm, read till midnight, do Wordle and go to sleep. Wake for wee around 4:30, use nightlight so I go straight back to sleep. Sleep through till 9 am, check emails, get up around 9.30. If I can’t get to sleep (e.g. if I eat dark chocolate!) I listen to a history podcast on BBC Sounds- You’re Dead To Me is good - Greg Jenner has a very soporific voice!

Janiepops Shetland is tomorrow night in England.
Bed about 10, read for 30/40 minutes, sometimes wake about 5:30 for the bathroom, up about 7, we’re both the same.
I never sleep during the day.

I'm stunned by how little sleep some of you survive on. I thought DH was in the minority but it seems he's not but I, a sleeper, am.

Bed 9.30 to 10.00 - Audio book until 11.30 - Sleep - Loo at 2 - Loo at 4 - awake by 8.30. Sleep well inbetween loo trips unless something on my mind. Try not to switch on phone in night to catch latest news as too depressing.
Reading Robert Harris's book Second Sleep, I learned that during the middle ages it was quite normal to sleep in two halves and even get up and walk about or even go out in the middle of the night.

My phone pings a bit of Brahms lullaby at ten pm - reminds me it’s bedtime so I go a bit after and sleep till 7 am apart from creeping out to the loo x2 in the night ps don’t know how the lullaby got on my phone or why it decided that time ! 😴

At the moment, anytime between 10 and 12.
Read/listen to audiobooks on my old phone until I fall asleep. 2.30- toilet and tablets that need taking at least 30 mins before food or caffeine. Then up between 6.30 and 7.30, depending on the dog’s alarm clock

Jaxjacky, thanks for putting me right… but boo 😩
Hope she’s good, Douglas Henshall is a hard act to follow!!!

Since my husband became seriously ill, I try to get to my bed about 9 as I have to get up and help him three or four times a n ight. Fortunately, I have n o difficulty falling asleep again as a rule, and if I do stay awake too long the one cat comes and cuddles and his purring sends me to sleep again.

Between midnight and 0100, having knocked off Wordle in English, French, German and Italian. Latin early in the morning.
