I was talking with a friend last night about bedtimes. We live in the Southwest, and prime time for TV is 7-10. We both go to bed shortly after 10, or 10:30 if we watch the news. I said I thought if we lived back east, where primetime is 8-11, we’d go to bed at 11, and that would be normal for us. He said no, he’d still go to bed at 10. But I think that we would think of 10 as early, like we do 9 here.
What time do you go to bed and what time zone are you in?
bedtime.
New England area.
It kind of sounds like we go to bed together. We’re just friends, and we don’t live together.
PST. 12ish.
Serious answer-midnight. Weekends-2.
Bedtime? What numbers are the big and little hands on when it’s bedtime? Or is it different every night?
Oh, okay. Thanks!
Generally 0100 to 0130 although 0200 and even 0300 aren’t that uncommon. Work starts at 0830.
I’m in Oregon.
Midnight-ish, maybe a little before, so I have a chance to wind down (I don’t have to be up until 8, FWIW).
Central time zone.
12-12:30ish, Central Time Zone. Recently migrated from the Eastern Time Zone, where it was pretty much the same and based somewhat on TV schedules and on the principle that no self-respecting college student goes to bed before midnight. Now the TV’s an hour earlier, but bed time is determined more by the clock.
Pst, 0400.
Around 3 a.m. these days. It’s really not a good thing.
EST here.
Between 1:00 AM and 2:30 AM Sunday though Thursday nights, and between 3:00 and 4:00 on Friday and Saturday nights (or, technically, Saturday and Sunday mornings).
Between 9 and 10 mountain.
With luck I’m asleep before the maniacs start slamming car doors. Tonight that was not the case.
Whenever I pass out from exhaustion. And I’m serious. I have no specific time. It might be 10pm, 2pm, 2am, 7am, 6pm… and oftentimes, not at all in a 24 hour time period.
PST. I’m from AST, but I’ve been like this pretty much all my life.
Ast?
Nights followed by early works shift days: 12 midnight.
Nights before late work shifts or days off: 1am-2am
My wife and kid are out of town. I’ve noticed that I’m turning into a “Were-Man” and staying up till 4am watching really poor movies, then sleeping in till around 10am (kid usually gets me up at 6-7). Kinda throwing my who chi off. Not regular, don’t eat, haven’t shaved in days…
I’M REVERTING TO A BACHELOR!!
Atlantic Standard Time. I’m from New Brunswick, Canada.
In my younger days, I wouldn’t even go out until 11:30 PM to meet friends for a drink, and that was during the work week!
I try to stay up now to see Leno’s monologue, at 11:35, but rarely make it.
During the weekend, however, I usually stay up until 2.
