when do you go to bed and get up?

[LuluHB]

At the moment I'm going to bed around 9pm, but then waking up with horrible insomnia around 1.30am. I'm then awake until between 4-5am, then doze on and off until getting up around 7am. Pretty much like that 7 days. DH will sometimes come to bed around the same time as me but normally he's more like 10pm. He's up early for golf on Saturdays - 6 to 6.30 am. Sunday sleep ins are a thing of the past generally. Good old pre-kid days we would laze in bed until we were too hungry not to get up! Every now and then he tries to give me a lie in on a Sunday morning but the girls are hopeless at leaving me alone - even if they think they are by tiptoing into our room to give me "sleeping kisses".

I've always been a morning person so need a relatively early night and I need 8 hours of sleep a night to really recharge and feel good. 8 hours nightly is a distant memory for years now.

During the week I usually go to bed around 10.30 or sometimes a lot earlier if I am completely knackered (as early as 8.30) and I'm up at 7am.

Weekends I tend to stay up a bit later, rarely as late as midnight unless I am out though, and I usually sleep until 8 or sometimes 9am. The kids get themselves up, get their own breakfast and amuse themselves during this time. They also know not to disturb me as I am something of a bear with a sore head in the morning I need a lot of sleep and really struggled when the kids were not allowing me the 8 hours a night I need.

I'm in awe at your brilliance in child training!!

Im in bed at 9:30 most nights unless we are out or have people over and we don't have kids!! I am up whenever kids get up, which at the moment is around 7, but usually if I am not working that day I will let them play with my phone for a bit while I doze for another 30 mins! I love that they are a bit older now and will get up and play nicely together - the other day I got up and they were sitting at the coffee table playing Uno Gorg!!!

If I am working and doing creche drop offs etc. I am up around 6:30. DH is up at 6 and falls asleep on the couch every night somewhere between 9-6am! (Whole other thread )
DH and take it in turns to sleep in on weekends, so Saturday is my day and Sunday his and I take kids to church! Works well for us and is fair!

I go to bed anywhere between 9 and 11pm (ish). It all depends on how DS2 is sleeping until then. If I am lucky enough that he hasn't woken then generally I use that time for myself. But if he wakes like he has been lately) 1-2hourly or so then I go to bed early because I know it will be a long night. DD and DS1 wake through the night too, though they are getting better at not waking, thank goodness! I *should* go to bed early every night, but I just can't do it and need that time in the evenings to myself to unwind and just be.
We wake at 5am usually. DS2 is allergic to sleep and wakes at this ungodly hour, just because. I try everything to get him back to sleep, but I have no luck, 5am it is! The big kids usually sleep later, this morning they weren't up until 6.15 and 6.50.
I am so not a morning person and usually just change DS2 and then veg on the lounge until at the earliest 6.30am when I will get the kids some breaky and me a BIG hot coffee! They all have some milk when they get up, the big kids help themselves and DS2 has booby, though he has soy milk in his sippee cup then too if he wants it.
When DH is home (ie not working) we take it in turns to sleep in. I often pass out until 9/10am because my body is trying to catch up on sleep! That is also usually the first time in a week that I will get more than 2hrs sleep in a row. I do really struggle with the sleeplessness and I am a person who needs alot of sleep to feel good. I am getting a bit used to it now (5yrs later!!) but it still gets to me sometimes. Thankfully DH can work with minimal sleep.
Pre kids, bed time was usually 11-12 and wake ups were between 5.45 and 8am depending on my work shifts. Weekends a sleep in was until about 9am. Though we would often just laze about in bed or go down to the shop, get food and come home and go back to bed! Oh, the luxury!!

10:30ish on a weeknight. Any where between 10:30 and midnight on the weekend. There is the odd night though where I head to bed around 9ish.

Get up between 6:30 and 7 am on a weekday. Fairly similar on a weekend, unless DH gets up and I get to sleep in.

I usually go to bed somewhere between 9-10, and then read/play with my phone for a bit before going to sleep.

Weekdays I'm at at 6 to get ready for work. On weekends I'll be up anywhere from 6-7, depending on when DD wakes.
