Your typical bedtime, and wake up time :)

Be honest! What is your typical bedtime and time you wake up at. Do you mind it? Would you want another routine? :)

I've been getting up at 4:00 for the last few weeks getting a good start on the day and I think it's worked miracles. Go to bed 8-9 if I can and usually do (thus far...)

I usually go to bed around 10pm and wake up at 6am.
 


I prefer to stay up until midnight or 1AM. However, I cannot go through any day without getting at least 8 hours of sleep.

Unless I get behind in my work, 10:30pm and 5:30am (no alarm clock). I can't sleep for more than seven-and-a-half hours under any circumstances.

I can sleep as much as 12-14 hours .. never quite understood how some people live under 8 hours of sleep.

Almost exactly like you - bed by 9, up about 4:30.

Going to bed so early makes me feel like I'm elderly :redface:, but when I wake up early and feel so great, I feel like a kid.
 


I try to be in bed at 9pm, then I read until I fall asleep. Wake up at 6am. Sometimes I wake up earlier if I am going to train/exercise for a really long time.

Do you get up for the morning cartoons? Be honest ;)
 


To bed at 11 or 11:30, if i have a nap in afternoon, i can stay awake till 2:30am. I wake at around 6:30.
 


My bed time? Doesn't exist. I can't ever get onto a set schedule, it always varies day to day at least 30 min to an hour if not more. Perhaps that's one reason I feel horrible all the time. Though I think I've been on a decent schedule for at least a week or two before, but I don't remember it making me feel any better. At least my meds make it so that I don't feel like crying after I wake up because I feel so bad.
 


What is your typical bedtime and time you wake up at? 1300-2100 (Wake up at 1500 and 1930 a lot, but try to go back to sleep)
Do you mind it? Not usually
Would you want another routine? Works the best for me due to shift work.
 


I usually go to sleep about 1 AM and get up by 5-6 AM. Often I take a nap for 30-60 minutes when the phone stops ringing about 4 PM. Ever since I lost all of this weight and started getting back in shape, I don't need nearly as much sleep.
 


I learned not to mistakenly turn my local time to the of Newfoundland and have my alarm set for 6:00AM local time. I was up and showered by 5:00AM before I realized the mistake.

I am often up to 11PM to 1AM and up around 7AM.
 


I personally work full time, go to sleep at around 12pm-1am and wake up at 7am each morning, on weekends i go to sleep at around 4-6am and wake up at around 12am-2pm

From my experience as the week goes on i tend to get tired faster, I am don't know if i am getting enough sleep

You seem to be accruing sleep debt as the week passes. I tend to have the same thing happen if I don't get at least 7-8 hours per day. Even 7 is probably too little for me.
 


I have sleeping medicine it does work but upon waking it feels as if i have had a restless sleep. so i no longer take them.
 


During the week 11pm - 7am. I tend to go out in the evenings on weekends (if I don't it's pretty much the same times as in the week) so bed time ranges between 2am - 6am but I rarely sleep later than 11am.

Refreshing sleep is a novelty for me (my sleep quality is very low) so I'm used to being tired in the day.

About the same for me except I get up at 3:30 and my wife gives me grief about being a small child because I go to sleep so early. :-p
 


Heh, times seems to vary quite heavily. I'm usually going to bed around 01 am and getting up at 08 - 08:30 in weekdays, and postponing the whole schedule by 2 hours at weekends (which I have to turn back by starting the week with less sleep on mondays -.-).

Stupid 24 hour daily rythm. I really wish we had 25-26 hour rhythm instead, with the same amount of sleep but being up 2 hours longer maybe I could maybe keep the schedule better.
 


I get up at 5:30-6:00 AM and try to be in bed by 9:30-10:00 PM. I'm one of those people who seem to need at least 7 hours to function, but 8 is optimal. I just can't study all day on anything less than that. Lots of my classmates will stay up late trying to study more, but even if I don't understand a subject, I'm going home and going to bed to try to get some decent sleep.

My wife seems to get by just fine on 6 hours of sleep and then catching up on the weekends. She complains that I go to bed early, but that doesn't stop her from coming to bed at the same time and falling asleep within minutes (to my frustration). Then she talks about how much better she feels in the mornings.
 


My bedtime and wake-up revolve around my ability to breathe. If I can breathe OK and I'm tired, it's bed-time. When my sinuses/lungs are congested, I get out of bed and try to recoup.

Years ago, I worked rotating shifts on a paper machine, so I'm not too bothered by odd sleep/wake times. YMMV.

Hahaha that is honestly the only thing I don't like about it. It makes me feel old (I am 22). Also, the following is love-hate...Then being up so early I feel lonely sometimes and isolated, but on other days it's just awesome because I have the whole world to myself.

Cool responses so far :D

Same, I wish days had about two more hours in them!
