What time to you go to bed/get up?

I have been going to the gym in the mornings for a few weeks because DH isn't going to work until later. I get up at 5:15 and try to go to bed by 10:00. I am dragging by 2, when is "I have so much more energy when I workout in the am" going to hit?

When DH goes to work early, I don't get up until 7 unless I have to.  

Re: What time to you go to bed/get up?

  • Bedtime really depends. The earliest weeknight/weekday, doesn't matter, is 11pm, latest could be 3-4am, average probably more around 12-1am. I'm up no later 7am most days.

    ETA: I work out 4 days a week most weeks and am always exhausted, doesn't matter how much sleep I get.

  • We go into the bedroom at 10:30- he watches TV and goes on his laptop/iPad and I read (I like at least 30 minutes to read, it helps me sleep)... we turn off lights @ around 11pm.

    I get up at 6:55 on school days. When DD doesn't have school, I get up when she does- anywhere from 6:30am to 8am.

  • I usually turn the light out at 11:30, sometimes midnight if I am into my book and not too exhausted. I get up at 6:45 to get DS ready for preK (I go to the gym at 8:30 after dropping him off). Next year I will need to get up by 6:30 in order to get DS to kindergarten on time, though (although I just realized I will have an infant and therefore will probably be up at 5...crap)

  • We usually get in bed at 10 at the latest.  Lights are usually out by 10:30.  I get up at 6:20 during the week.
  • Normally, I go to bed around 12am but since I've been pregnant, it is more like 10:30. I am so wiped out, I can't make it any later. I am usually a night owl, though, and love my "me time" in the evenings.

    I wake up around 6:30 every morning (either because DD#2 is up or my alarm goes off, whichever is first).

    ETA: I'm not working out right now so I don't have anything to add there :P

  • I have been getting at bed at like 8 or 8:30 and watching tv for an hour or so, it has just felt good to lay down!  I usually fall asleep between 9:30 and 10.  I wake up around 5:30.  I usually exercise in the mornings.

  • Weekdays I go to bed as soon as the kids do. So around 8-9pm.  I get up at 3:15-3:30am to be at work by 5am.  I think I'm going to start taking a shower, packing my lunch and getting the kids stuff for the morning ready at night so I can sleep until 3:45-4:00am.  I've been so exhausted by bedtime I pass out as soon as the kids do.  If not before. My shift sucks.  It's nice being off by 1:30pm but I'm so tired that i can't enjoy it.  I nap whe. I get home around 2-3:30 when the kids get home and then have enough energy to make it through hw, dance class/basketball practice or whatever then dinner and bedtime. By 9 I'm shot and need sleep.  

     Eta:  on weekends I stay up until 11 some nights and sleep til the kids get up.  One Saturday they slept til 9am so I did too.  It was wonderful!!!  Usually they get up at 7:30-8am.

  • If I'm teaching 6 am Bodypump I am in bed by 10 pm at the latest.  Otherwise, it's sometime between 10 and 11.

    On a non-teaching morning, I try to get up sometime between 6:15 and 6:30 am so I can have a little time to myself before I wake DD up at 6:45.

  • Usually in by 9pm.  though I read in bed and usually fall asleep with my face in a book.  Since I've been PG, I've been getting up by about 4.  Which stinks, b/c I'm already wiped out by the time I get the kids off to school. 
  • I'm apparently a 90 year old woman, and go to bed around 830 or 9.  Sometimes I don't get to sleep til about 10 if I'm reading, but that's usually the latest.  I wake up when ds does, usually around 730.  I work out after he wakes up.  My mom watches him while I run on her treadmill.

  • I try to be in bed by 10, asleep by 11 or 11:30 depending on what i'm watching/reading.

    My alarm goes off at 430 and then i hit snooze until 5 so i can go use the treadmill and/or whatever other workouts i need to get in.

    I need to go to bed earlier. I'm exhausted most days. But i'd rather get up early then push working out until after dinner. I never have motivation by then.

  • In bed between 10-11. Sunday nights I'm in bed around 9:45 at the latest because I have to get up at 4:15 to be at work at 6. I despise working out in the early morning, it makes me crabby and tired all.day.long. I get up between 6:30-6:45, but DS has been waking up at night, so I rarely get a full nights sleep. I'd say 1 night out of 7, so at night I am just done by about 9.

  • In bed between 7:30 and 9:00 depending upon how tired I am since I am pregnant.  Up by 5:15 the latest. 
  • I'm up between 6 and 7.  I go to sleep between 9 and 1.  Average about 11 I'd say.  

    After I had Kate I went to bed at like 8:30 every night.  I was a lot more stable minded then.  Sleep has a huge impact on my mood and behavior.

  • Usually during the week I am in bed around and asleep around 10:30/11, sometimes earlier.  Over break, it was later b/c of Jackson not having to be up for school.  I usually get up around 7:30.  I do as much as I can the night before b/c J and I leave for school at like 7:50 and I go to the gym after that on my way home - MH works from home in the mornings and Scarlett usually sleeps until 9 or later.  She's usually not up by the time I'm back around 9:15-9:30.

    On the weekends, we stay up later and sleep until Scarlett gets up.  Jackson is usually up around 8-8:30 those days, but he will play in his room or the playroom until Scarlett gets up.  We have an alarm with a motion sensor, so if he were to not listen and go downstairs, or open a window upstairs, it would go off.

    I need 8 or so hours of sleep to feel normal, so I do my best to get it.  I'm a mess w/out sleep.

  • Weekdays bedtime is between 9 and 10 typically and I wake up at 5:15 for work.  On the weekends, bedtime is sometimes a little later but I get to sleep later assuming my kids don't wake up but typically, I wake up naturally at around 7am.
