What time do you go to bed?

[minniemouse]

around 11pm to midnight, we should go to bed earlier as DH gets up for work at 530am but it just never seems to happen

depends what the kids are doing in the morning.
ATM DS is getting up at 5.30am, which means my usual bedtime of 11pm-midnight isn't really cutting it for sleep requirements, so I retire a couple of hours earlier and read or do puzzles in bed and usually I feel tired earlier.
When they weren't stirring before 7 it's whenever I feel like it, or what ever time I finish my book lol, but I too am used to much broken sleep and night work.

Usually before 10, but tonight I just can't sleep!

For me it's about 11. On iPad in bed now! I loathe mornings

11pm is an early night for me not sure how to change it, I have always been a night owl too and tend to find anything I can to distract myself from going to bed.

Usually from 9-10pm or thereabouts. I wouldn't say I'm a morning person exactly, but I do usually get up by about 6.30am, 8am on weekends. Well, when I was working and not quite so pregnant at least...

It can be changed, but it's a lot of effort to train yourself to sleep on demand. After years of shiftwork and keeping odd hours I've found having a good bed routine is paramount - my preference was to wind down with a warm milo and a few chapters of a favourite book, one I've read plenty of times that is safe and familiar, not gripping or exciting. Put the book down and turn off the lights as soon as you start to feel sleepy. Bed and bedroom is for sleep and sex, not much else - certainly never arguing or working. It helps build that mental association that now is time for sleep, whether it's 9pm, 2am or 9am.

The easiest way to change is to do it gradually. Going to bed a half hour earlier for 2-3 nights, and then another half hour earlier for the next 2-3 nights, and repeat until you are at the time frame you wish to be.

Lately, between 12am-2am
Im not really looking to change that though, its hard enough with a heap of my friends in another timezone.
