What time do you wake up? Go to sleep?

Codypup · November 2014

Humor me. What time do you get up in the morning, and what time do you go to bed?

Brought to you by someone (hopefully) facing a new 7am - 3pm work schedule.

If i'm working, and DD is staying home with DH, I'm up at 6 (leave at 7:30). If i'm working, and DD is going to the sitter, I get up at 5 (leave at 7). If I'm home with DD, I sleep til she wakes up. (Usually not later than 7).

I go to bed around 9:30-10 at night. Depending on how tired I am, I've been known to be in bed (and asleep!) by 8:30.

I go to bed at 10pm. On work days I get up at 6:40 and leave the house around 7:45. On SAHM days, I wake up when LO does.

Weekends I wake up at 6:00am

4 AM?!?!?!?????????????? WHAT

sdlaura · November 2014

Asleep by 10 pm most nights, and up around 6 am. I feel like things happen a lot earlier, in general, living on the West coast, and 6 am is later than a lot of people get up out here.

DH works stock market hours, so he's up at 4:45 am, but also home by 4:30 pm.

We wake up between 5 and 6am. We get to bed between 10-11pm. I sometimes get to bed ealier, but then H has to stay up for the last bottle feeding of the kids.

breadpudding · November 2014

I'm up no later than 6am. That's on a "sleeping-in" day. On early days it's 5am. Bedtime is between 9 and 10.

Codypup · November 2014

Okay, I see patterns. I need to leave the house at 6:30 to be at work by 7am. I'm thinking that if I get everything done the night before (shower, clothes laid out, bottles, etc), I can get up at 5:45.

But then I get off at 3! I like the early release time. Not so much the early morning.

rachaelmary · November 2014

Well, before the time change I was up about 830...now lo wakes up between 7-730 so I'm up then.

Usually go into bed between 930-10 and watch some tv before turning the lights out around 1030-11.

djtippietoes · November 2014

I wake up at 6:30 and go to sleep around 10:30.

ramfan05 · November 2014

I'm also up at 4. I shower at night, so in the morning I get myself ready, pack everything up for the day and get some housework done before the kids get up. Then I get them both ready and fed and we are out the door by 7. I go to bed between 9:30 and 10:30 most nights, but 10:30 is really pushing it too late.

@Codypup‌ - that's pretty ambitious to get up and out the door in 45 minutes! How does baby factor in? Childcare? I feel like the kids add 45+ min onto my routine, even when everything is laid out!

* I get up at 5:45 to be out the door at 7:15, to daycare for 7:30, and work at 8:00/8:15.

djtippietoes · November 2014

I agree with @versed. I get up an hour and a half before I need to leave the house.

I know it's ambitious and most likely won't be enough time. Wishful thinking? lol. My H will be doing drop offs except for Fridays, when I'll be having to get up earlier. And he's an early riser too, so if W wakes up while I'm getting ready he can help me.

My morning beauty routine is also embarrassingly fast. Maybe 15 minutes, including face washing, makeup, and doing my hair. Bottles will be prepped the night before and all her bags packed.

Like I said, this is all wishful thinking at this point. Reality might school me otherwise. I figure I'll set my alarm for 5 on the first day and see how much extra time I have on my hands.

@anji1829, I got a job offer from a treatment center!! I'm still waiting on final paperwork stuff, so knock on wood it all plays out, but it looks like I'll be on staff at a woman's drug/alcohol/other issues type place. It's a residential facility (like the women live there) and is very similar to what I went through myself. I'm excited! Ready to get this show on the road and start training, but like I said, we're still waiting on paperwork before it can be 100% official.

shellbell3845 · November 2014

I get us out the door in an hour. It's not a big deal. Quick shower, quick breakfast, feed LO, dress LO, go. H is around to help. I get my lunch and his dc stuff ready the night before. H does dc drop offs, but even if I did them, it would be the same schedule.

7-3 is my favourite shift, and I say that as the antithesis of a morning person! It makes you feel like you get to leave early every day, it will give you so much Willa time after work!

TLex, that's what I'm hoping!! And I am SO ridiculously happy that I get to do daycare pick ups at 3:30 or 4. With the move and everything, we've landed on a 5:30 bath/6:30 bedtime routine. Any later shift would have meant changing up that schedule. We would have made it work, but I'm happy we can keep that consistent.

Ibliss · November 2014

Wake up at 7 am. Bed vary but I shoot for 10 pm (+/-).

@Codypup‌ How exciting! That sounds perfect for you. Fx that they get the paperwork done soon so it can be official!

Thanks Anji! I'm definitely nervous to be on the other side of things, but hoping that my own personal experience can be of some help/hope to the women there.

Totally being nosey. When people say "LO fed", do you mean milk or actual sit in high chair breakfast?
We struggle to fit in 2 solids a day. If I have to feed him breakfast on a daycare day, then I'm going to have to get up with @mummypig‌ (:|

High chair solids. He nurses around 5am and doesn't want milk when we wake him at 7:20. But he's great at solids and his breakfast takes about four minutes.

@Karlamo, DD wakes up and has a bottle around 4 most mornings, then goes back to sleep. I wake her up by about 6:20/6:30, dress her, and feed her breakfast in the high chair while DS is eating his breakfast.

Props to all of you ladies who can get up and out the door in 45 minutes! It takes us 45 minutes from the time I get the kids out of bed (dressed, brush DS's teeth, breakfast, load the car) until we are leaving the house!

SuzyQq02 · November 2014

I get up at 545, out the door by 7, 715 latest depending on when lo wakes up and if mh is there to help. She does a bottle first thing, but then eats breakfast at where ever she is for the day (mom's or daycare).

I'm usually in bed right around 10, give or take.

Karlamo · November 2014

Thanks for the respones. R gets fed his first solid of the day at daycare (no specific time) and then fed another one at dinner time. We often wonder if we're "doing solids right". I know that probably sounds silly but bf is just too convenient for us and solids become an after thought.

boogerbearoriginal · November 2014

I get up around 5-6a, depending on when the kids wake up but most days it's ~5:30a. Work days I am out the door ~6:50a, it gives me time to drop off LO1 at DC and LO2 at my sister's and get to work by 8a. But I also work a good 30-45mins from home so I spend a good hour driving around in the morning. I can get up and out the door in as little as 30mins but it's hectic with two kids. An hour+ gives me time to relax a tad. When it was just me I'd get up and out the door in 10-15mins lol.

I go to bed around 8:30-9p most nights, sometimes earlier. I need sleep or I am a miserable person to be around, since LO2 doesn't STTN I need at least 8-9hrs of sleep time because it's disrupted. Like last night when she thought it'd be fun to claw at my face and yell DA-DA-DA at midnight. I digress.

When I hit the bed, it's lights out. Thankfully sleep comes quickly/easily for me.

narcissticbeaut · November 2014

I wake up at 6 and go to sleep around 9. sometimes 10 but rarely. Im hoping that'll be plenty of time to get ready in the am. if its not, ill be showering at night and blowdrying my hair then to save some time in the morning.
