when do you go to bed and get up?

That is my question: when do you go to bed, and when do you get up?

Is it different on days off and weekends?

Does your partner get up at different times?

Normally (outside of times when I have a LO feeding overnight) I get up at 6am, and I go to bed around midnight. On weekends, I will sleep as long as LOs allow - generally until around 7am, sometimes (**bliss**) until 8 or 9 ... we're praying that DS2 sleeps as well as DS1 does, because I would love to be able to get some more sleep again!

DH goes to bed at the same time as me, but is able to get up later for work - an hour or two later, in face. But he'll generally get up, help out a bit, and then go back to bed.

Before children, we would often sleep really late on Saturdays (sleeping in [and of BDing] until the early afternoon was not unheard of) but we would just as often get up around 8 and do the shopping and housework.

At the moment though, all bets are off as our sleeping is pretty much dictated by when DS2 needs my boobies. Such is life.

How about you?

As I am currently crazy and studying I am generally up until 0100 and then up at some stage between 3 and 4 to get DS2 and bring to our bed and then in bed till 0700 or 0720 (on a good morning can get kids to lie in bed with me until 0830).

DH goes to bed between 2200 and 2300 and is up between 0630 and 0730 for work.

On weekends days I am not working or not working till PM DH manages to sleep in which annoyes crap out of me!!!!!

Pre kids I would love sleeping in till noon but that is all a long way away!!

I used to love to sleep, DH and I would sleep in till about 10/11am on Sat and on Sunday later lol.

These days I go to bed after work 4 nights a week at 1am then the other 3 I go to bed at 8pm as being pregnant with two boys is taking it out of me!

DH goes to bed same time as me as he has insomnia and honestly doesn't need as much sleep as me to function. I really think some people need more sleep than other to function.

So Boys get up at 6.30 most mornings and DH will get up with them and I get up around 8am when he leaves for work. Though I do get up a million times a night to pee.

Sleep is a long gone luxury but I do LOVE waking up to two beautiful DS's!

I'm normally in bed around 8pm but latest 9. I get up for work any time between 5 and 6am.

We're both usually awake with DS around 3am and its rare that he goes back to sleep so some days we're awake from 3am. Weekends are no different.

DF goes to bed usually later than me. He does shift work so some days he doesn't get to bed until midnight.

DH and I both usually go to bed at the same time, around 9.30. And get up whenever we're woken by the girls, usually around 6.30.

I usually go to bed around 10.30pm and get up whenever DD wakes up - which is usually about the same time DS comes in to our room - somewhere around 6-6.30am.

anywhere from 8-10. i feed DD in bed at night, then cuddle her til she goes to sleep. i have the TV on though while i do. i usually crash around 10 or just after. am up for work at 6
weekends we tend to wake anywhere from 6-7 cos DD wakes. if we're lucky, she'll then have boob in bed til 8 or later. DH often takes her out so i can lay in bed just relaxing for a while - so i may not get up til 9.
i go to bed same time every night - DD doesn't much know the difference between work night and weekend, so i just snuggle her in bed. nights when i don't have to work the next day, i may watch more eps of whatever series i'm watching at the time though (six feet under at the moment)

DH stays up later. he doesn't need as much sleep (and he can nap during the day - the man can sleep ANYWHERE if he's tired - i can't nap during the day even for a few minutes - cos i can't sleep at night if i do!)

I usually go to sleep sometime between 10pm and 1am. I usually wake up at about 7am although sometimes I manage to get back to sleep until 9am on the weekend or school holidays.

Bed around 9pm up 4.30-5.30am after about 4-8 wake ups :)

My children hate me LOL

During the week, twice a week I get up at 6am b/c I work then other days during the week it is usually around 7.30am b/c that is the time my DD wakes. At night time during the week I go to bed usually around 9.30 - 10.30pm.

Weekends, really depends but I have been sleeping in until about 8.30am and I go to bed later around 10.30pm

I got to bed around 8:30pm, usually read for 30mins or so then lights out.
Work days I am up by 6:20am. Non work days, DH gets up 1st and I get up around 7am.
Weekends, DH gets up for breakfast and I usually get up around 8am, still go to bed the same time every night of the week usually, except this week and for the Offspring season, on a Wednesday I will be staying up late :D

I wait up for DH to get home from work at night, then we have our own catch up on the day and chat without the girls having their say too. So most nights we dont crash until midnight or 1am. Its a luxury to be in bed before 11pm, and on the odd nights that we are, we cant sleep cause its too early :o
Wake up is I dont usually get up til about 8am. But thats cause Im up all night with all the night time stuff. So feeds and nappy changes for dd3, escorting dd2 when she she walks etc.
The girls wake up at around 6am give of take half hr. So dh gets up with them whilst I get some rest. Then he trots off to work at around 10-10:30am.

Oh weekends dont make any difference here, each day rolls into another really

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 :lol: I need a lot of sleep and really struggled when the kids were not allowing me the 8 hours a night I need.

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.

I am such a nana. Generally by 9.30 pm unless we are out.

Up between 6 and 7 depending on kids. Weekends DH will get up one morning and I'll stay in bed.

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 :rofl: 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 :rolleyes:)
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've only just finished working out my natural sleep cycle, ie how many hours I need. Now I need to regulate my sleep pattern to enable the cycle to fit in with my life.

I try to be in bed before midnight, actually tonight it is 10pm and I'm already in bed & about to turn the laptop off.

My alarm goes off at 6am but the snooze button is my friend/enemy at the moment. I need to start getting up and do yoga, go to the gym or go for a jog in the mornings.

When OH and I end up living together when he gets back, we'll deal with the whole sleep thing then. Neither of us are used to having an extra body in the bed, both of us sleep on the same side of the bed & he won't be working when we're home together but I will, but that will probably change next year when I'm hopefully back studying full-time.

School holidays at the moment, so I go to bed between 10 & 12.

We're up between 6 & 8 most mornings. School days the latest is 7-7.30am.

i go to bed around 2am and alarm goes off at 6.45 am
yes i am a freak who doesnt need much sleep.
DS2 usually wakes some time in between those hours for a feed or a cuddle and I usually chuck him in our bed

Weekdays & weekends are the same - i usually go to bed between 10 & 11 & then im up whenever ds gets up which is anywhere between 5-6ish at the moment. It used to be around 630 but since dd arrived (the same time as daylight savings ended) it's been earlier. As dd is bf and ds is going through a mummy-only phase, there's no ooportunity for sleep ins! Dp usually goes to bed a bit later and gets up a little later.

before the bubs, weekdays I try to go to bed around 11, to get up at 7... but its usually midnight, and DH has been trying to get to work earlier so he comes home earlier, so 6am wakeup. Then I either get up at the same time, or stay alseep til about 8 for work.
Weekends: bed when I feel like it and get up when I feel like it... usually 2am to 10am (unless there is something on)

Since bubs, Bedtime is still around midnight, I keep telling myself I will just wait til she wakes then feed her and sleep... but the first few days she wouldn't go back to sleep after the 12am wakeup... so that was killing me.
Hopefully tonight she will go back to sleep after the midnight feed

Before kids I would average 13-15hrs per night. Now i tend to go to bed around 10pm, earlier if i feel like it, later if time has gotten away from me. When DS wakes it is normally when DH is getting ready for work, 6-6:30 and DH puts him in bed with me and we snuggle and doze until after 7 sometimes as latest 9 depending on DS stomach. Weekends DH works at the local gym so DS goes to creche there til 10am so I sleep in, get up have a long shower before they get home. Sunday we all normally get up between 7and 9am. I will go to bed about the same time on weekends, DH will stay up til 1 or 2am. DH is one of those freaks that run on no sleep...or heaps less than me anyway!!

I'm usually in bed by about 9 and asleep before 9.30. I guess I'm the other end of the spectrum in needing 8-9 hours of sleep a night. Im 19 weeks pg today- only needed 8 hrs pre pg. The alarm goes off at 6 but I'm awake and feeling refreshed sometimes between 5-6 am. It nice not to wake to the alarm! Weekends I usually wake at the same time but squeeze a nap in at least once on the weekend. Weekends- it depends if we are out or of I decide to push through my tired signs.
DP can survive on less Sleep than me for a week or so then he'll crash in bed early to recover.

Coming to the end of the pregnancy I'm waking so often that I am about ready to pass out by 8pm knowing that I'll be up every hour or so. Usually awake by 5:30-6am because that's when bubs is kicking. Kind of enjoy this quite time before DS wakes because it gets crazy once he is up.

Pre kids I was up for the gym most mornings around. 5:30am and our sleep in was usually Sunday as I would always do an 8:30am spin class on a Saturday. miss that gym time so much!! I'm also a morning person so early morning wake ups have never been a problem. However as soon as I start to get tired I have to sleep otherwise I turn very very cranky!!

I go to bed anytime from 2230-1200 and I wake up at 5am for work or 6-7 nonwork days.

Professor has an alarm that sends us to bed around 9pm, but we usually lay there and chat for about an hour. Then his morning alarm goes off at 5.30am, and I hafta get up because of the pain in my back. It takes about an hour for the pain to go away, and then I can go back to bed, but I generally don't.

DD2 doesn't go to sleep until about 9pm which means my bedtime after I've faffed around is usually close to midnight.

They usually wake me around 7am and dd2 usually wakes around 3am.

DP works shifts so often isn't in bed till 2am or later. If its a kindy day the deal is he gets up to help and has a nap later. I used to do the whole morning thing as well as the dinner/bath/bed thing on my own as well as letting him have an afternoon nap but something had to give.

He also works weekends so no taking it in turns for lie ins unfortunately.

Far too late and far too early :lol:

I usually go to bed around 10pm when DH is home, but when he's on nightshift it could be as late as 1-2 am especially if I have a lot of Uni assignments to do. I always get up at 6.40am on school days and on saturdays during footy season it is anywhere from 4.30am to 7am depending on where we are playing that week. Last saturday we were playing at Cobar, which is a 4hr trip one way so I was up at 4.30am, but this week we are playing in town so it's only a 7am start. On a normal weekend it could be as late as 10am if I'm really lucky but usually 7.30-8am.

Since starting the thread, I'm mostly going to bed between 12-1am and getting up at 5am.

Before DD I conformed to my husbands night owl hours - 2-3am bed and getting up at 9:30 on a weekday (he has work at 10) and after 12pm on a Sunday. Even though I felt best going to bed at 11pm and waking up at 8am.

Since DD I sleep whenever she does (I am breastfeeding on demand and co-sleeping, hubby is in his own room since he still does his night owl hours). She still doesn't have a routine, but atm bedtime is at 9:30pm and we get up between 7-8:30am.

Ideally I'd love to go to bed at 10:30pm and wake up at 7:45-8am (and that means sleeping the whole time rather than the 6-12 night wakings DD still gives me :))

Bed:
Sleep: before 10:30pm
Awake: between 5 & 5:15am

Then I exercise, either a 5km walk/jog plus exercises or a 45min dvd, so am home/finished between 6 & 6:30am. Breakfast, get ready for work, play on the computer, out the door to work at 8am. Lunches organised the night before, as well as bag packed & clothes sorted.

When I was living with my x and his kids, he & I were up at 5am, shower together, I'd do the bottles for the 1 year old & lunch/snacks for the 4 year old, our lunches, while he'd make breakfast & coffee. We'd both be out the door by 6am. With stop-offs on the way to work I'd be at work by 8am. His mum would look after the kids. He'd be home by 3:30pm & I'd get home by 6pm at the latest (usually by 5:30pm).

He and I would spend 10 mins together before the kids would claim my time. We'd have dinner at 6:30pm as a family. I'd then do the bath & bed routine for the eldest and bed by 7:15. If the 1yo was still awake I'd do the night bottle before putting bub into bed by 7:30. My xDP and I would watch some tv & be in bed by about 8:30 where we'd have some fun before going to sleep by 10.

I miss my xDP :(

I go to bed around midnight - 1am, sometimes later, and get up around 4.30am or a bit after.

I need to get more sleep, I know.

I just need to internet and photograph things less ... !

Lately I try get to bed around 11-12. Just after DD4 last feed & then we start the day around 6-7.
Of course we have at least 1 feed between 12 & 7 as well.

1130 and up at 730 nearly every night

Around 2130 and up around 0500. I've tried putting DS to bed earlier so DH and I can have some adult time together but this meant he'd wake during the night and I'd rather not do that!

I need sleep :) My DS is in bed by 7.15pm and is sleeping through waking between 6.00am and 7.00am. I got to bed between 8.30pm and 9.30pm and get up at 6.00am. Weekends DS normally is in bed by 7.30pm and I go to bed when I am tired. Sometimes I have slept in until 7.30am on the weekends and it feels amazing!
