    I used to go to bed around 9:30-10ish, but now it's anywhere between 12:30 or 4am on a really bad night.... Tempted to just pull an all nighter when that happens but it just throws everything even more out if whack. I'm trying to re-adjust my bedtime to earlier, it's better for me mental health wise if I'm more consistent with my sleep.

    I've heard that a good way to change your body clock is with food. So I guess eating earlier? I can see how it works with wake up times (eat regularly at a certain time in the morning and your bound to wake up hungry for that time) but I'm not exactly 100% on the going to bed side of it *shrug* idk.

    Same here, although DH is in bed usually 8-8:30. I really crave that time on my own at the end of the day. I should go to bed much earlier though, I have no trouble getting to sleep earlier & I often feel tired. I don't get enough sleep.

    We aim to be in bed by 10:30. Our new routine has been in bed by 8:30'ish to snuggle and watch some episodes of something... ATM it's MadMen. But getting to sleep actually varies from 10:30 to dunno when. Depends on yanno... stuff

    I can't imagine going to sleep earlier as DH and I are very selfish with our time together. Going to sleep earlier saddens me at the thought of not getting that quality time with him.

    I have been through bouts of insomnia before. But DH is very on the ball with this and gets very very upset if I haven't got into bed by 10:30 as he believes that anything after that and I get a second wind which then perpetuates the problem. And y'know since he's been all bossy about it I haven't had insomnia so maybe he's right... just don't tell him that

    I have forever been an 11pm-12am bed time person. In the last 6 weeks I am lucky to make it past 9pm before I'm tucked in. It's all due to eating better and exercising more... I'm just worn out! I also get up earlier.

    im never in bed before midnight. Mainly because DH gets home late, and its our only alone time together. So by the time he gets home, we have a cuppa and relax, catch up on the days events and so on, midnight can easily come and go.
    Then the general rule throughout the night is that DH sleeps through, and I tend to the girls. He then gets up with them and I get an hr (well thats the plan but I never get it) in bed by myself.

    Around 9-10pm these days. I used to be up past 1am (as did DP) but since moving in together, we just seem to go to bed earlier... probably the canoodling. DD goes to bed at 6pm so we have a good few hours together beforehand.

    I try to go to bed around 11 (but no kids to distract me just DH), and try to get about 7-8hours sleep a night. But lately I find myself ready to sleep at 10ish. DH on the other hand gets distracted by the computer and will come to bed a lot later...

    8:30pm to read for 30mins or so then it lights out for me. Sometimes on special occassions or a Friday I will stay up late to watch something on TV or if we are out, it really throws me for the rest of the week, I end up trying to catch up on lost sleep. I have always been an early to bed person. I have been known to have dinner parties at our place and disappear to bed before guests leave.
    DH usually 10:30pm or so I think?

    Normally around 10:30. There is the odd night at 11:30, normally due to watching something on TV, but I have had a few 9:30's lately.

    Sadly I do not sleep straight away, wish I did, so sometimes I am still awake close to midnight.

    DH and I always try and go to bed together, and that's normally around 9.30 - 10pm. We usually chat for an hour and catch up on the day, and then go to sleep.

    I can't fall asleep straight away like him though (mid-sentence? C'mon dude ) and that's when I get my alone time...

    Between 9.30 and 11 - depends if I am working the next day or if it is a weekend

    I need to be in bed and asleep by 10pm for me to function the next day. If I go any later than 10, look out world. My body needs 10 hours sleep. It may not be solid sleep due to kids waking up, but I need those hours.

    i'm a night owl big time - always have been - but since being sick and not being able to be up past 8.30 for a couple of weeks, i've forced myself to go to bed earlier (lights out by 10 at the latest) and it's starting to really pay off. it is damn hard to say to DH "no, i'm not gonna watch a movie, i'm going to bed" but i've made myself do it. i think if i could get to a point of being in bed 10.30 and straight to sleep, i'd be happy - but i can't go straight to sleep - i have to read for a while first, so i'm in bed no later than 9.30 now. the few late nights i've had in the past five or six weeks have really thrown me
