What time is YOUR bedtime?

Just curious.

Do you go to bed after your LO goes down?
Do you still stay up relatively late?

FI and I always call it a night by 10 pm. We used to go to bed around midnight before LO was born. Lol, I can't even wrap my head around that at this point.
Lately, it's even been 9 pm.

Re: What time is YOUR bedtime?

  • We go to bed at 9 on weekdays, 10 on weekends.  Not that it matters, because we're always up with LO at 6-6:30.

  • Yep, I put her down, then clean up real quick and try to be in bed by 9:30. It feels nice. Sometimes on the weekend I'll get a wild hair and stay up til 12 or 1, but I always regret it the next day.

  • All last week I fell asleep on the couch by 830pm. LO has been getting up 2-3 times a night, which isn't normal for her. Before this regression we were going to bed between 9 and 10pm

  • I have been trying to be more successful with getting LO down earlier....like 8:30. When that happens I stay up an extra hour or so and DH and I hang out watching TV. But some nights bedtime is rough....like last night and I finally collapsed into bed at 11 when LO finally conked out. The funny thing is I used to go to bed earlier....when I taught full time and got up at 5:30 am every day.

  • I go to bed between 9:30 and 10. DD is hit or miss on her bedtime. Sometimes she's asleep by 8:30, sometimes its 9:30. DH is a night owl and stays up later. I think he usually goes to bed around 11/11:30. He would love to stay up later and some nights does.

    I am the one that gets up with the kids on weekdays. DS is usually up between 6:30/7. On weekends, DH gets up with DS so I can sleep in a little bit. DD usually sleeps until 8:30/9.

  • I usually stay up 20-30 minutes after I've put her down just to make sure she's really asleep (I get inexplicably annoyed if I happen to fall asleep and she wakes up a few minutes after I've dozed off, so I just avoid it and stay up).

    But, since her bedtime is about 11:15, I guess I'm staying up late since I'm in bed around 11:30-11:40 or so.

  • I can usually rock the baby to sleep just before 8 then get my toddler up to bed.  I fall asleep with her about 8:30.  I will wake up at some point and go back to my bed.  Some nights the baby wakes back up hungry (depending on when she was fed before falling asleep) and some nights she sleeps until 4:30am.  DH usually takes the night shift with DD2 but sometimes sleeps through her cries :( so I get up anyways.  DH does cleanup from dinner and get the bottles ready for the next day while I fall alseep with DD1.

  • Usually between 10-10:30. I need 30 minutes or so of time to myself before I fall asleep. I just like to read a little and enjoy my own thoughts.

  • Omg you all go to bed so early wish I could be so disciplined! Last night was 2am most nights it's 12 even though she's down by 9 I love tv! Possibly why I look so rugged!
  • Bedtime before LO = midnight or 1 am
    Bedtime now = 10 pm

    DS is asleep by 8, and then I have a late dinner, clean up the dishes, and get right into bed. On Saturdays, I have a glass or two of wine and might stay up (gasp!) until 11, since Sunday morning is my day off from the gym.

  • We usually head to bed around 930-10. It just depends if there is a show on that we want to watch. This also gives us a couple of hours to hang out and have couple time, as long as DD stays asleep.
  • J is asleep by 8, and we stay up until 10 at the very latest during the week, but it's usually closer to 9. My alarm goes off at 4:40.. So I basically collapse into bed every night.
  • Depends when LO goes to sleep. She used to be up until 10, so we'd go to bed right after that. Now she's usually in bed around 9, last night was 8:15. We usually head to bed right around 10 no matter when DD goes down.

  • DD1 goes to bed by 8pm. DD2 has been going to bed around 7pm - and wakes up at 9:30 to eat quickly then goes right back to sleep.  I go to sleep after that feeding.  Never later than 10:30pm.  Then wake up by 6am (of course with every 2 hour wake-ups during all those in between hours).

  • I'm jealous of you all.  My bedtime = LO's final bedtime which is often not until midnight, sometimes later.  It was after 1am by the time I got to bed last night, and I wasn't trying to stay up much later than LO.  I try hard to put the kid down earlier but he just treats those times as short naps and wakes up wide-eyed and ready to hang out for a while longer.  I'm so used to staying up late these days that I don't even feel overly tired at 1am anymore...

  • By 9 if I'm lucky! DH always stays up a little later, but is able to get more sleep during the night/morning.

  • I know I have completely been MIA but looking for advice to add onto this thread how many naps/how long does your four month old get a day?? I feel like my DS has been changing his sleep patterns throughout the day now and it's getting tough not sure if I'm giving him too many naps are too few?
  • DH give LO her last bottle around 8:30. That is usually the only time they get to spend together during the week. I go to bed around that time also.

    This. I sort of hate it bc I feel like an old going straight to bed after early bird dinner, but then, sleep.
    Sleep is all that really matters at this point

  • @chase16‌ I don't know how you get up so early! What are your work hours? You make me feel so lazy. I had a job once where I woke up at 5:45am and I thought that was awful!

    Lol my mornings involve coffee. That's actually the first thing I do after I pee haha. I have pt (physical training=exercise) from 6-7, then I drive home, shower, and change, and then I work from 9-5.

    Right before I got pregnant i was a drill sergeant though. My work hours then were 5am- at least 6pm mon-sat, and then a half day on Sunday. The girl that works with me is pregnant now, and has to start her 2 years of drill sergeant time as soon as she has the baby.I can't even imagine how awful that is going to be .
  • Wow we must stay up super late. We go to bed around 11-12. Ds goes down at 7.

  • LO goes down by 7. She eats around 9 or 10 so I go to bed after that. She was only getting up once which was nice but since she has been sick she has been up every 2-3 hours. Boo.
  • DD goes to bed between 12-1. I go to bed between 2-3 am. We have an unusual schedule though.
