During the week, between 10 and 11, up at 5:40. The weekends vary, but usually up until midnight or later and I will sleep until sometime between 8 and 9. I have always been a night owl, but the older I get, I can’t hang like I used to. I think it’s because as I’m older I just can’t sleep in like I used to. Sometimes I really miss those days.
That’s pretty close to my factory default to go to bed. 2-3am my body starts pointing towards the bed. I really do need closer to 8 hours, though. That’s been for my whole life. Even as a baby my parents had a hard time getting me to sleep so they could go to bed. I don’t have major childhood memories of watching saturday morning cartoons. I was sleeping.
Since the world acts like the quarter of the population disposed to be night people don’t exist, I cut and paste sleep around the bizarre sleeping only at night notion. Even when I expend a lot fo effort and get myself close to a “normal” and regular for a bit, any small nudge knocks me off that pattern. Naps are my lifelong friend.
I’m pretty much a night-owl. I go to bed around 2 am, and get up around 9. Fortunately, my work hours are mostly afternoon and evening, so weekends and weekdays can be pretty much the same schedule.
The show usually starts around 7; we go on stage around 9. Get on the bus about 11, sippin’ a drink and feeling fine.
Ok. I don’t have a bedtime, though I should. I would say I probably average 10, almost never earlier than 9. 10:30 isn’t uncommon, 11 occasionally.
Alarm on workdays is 6, out of bed 6:30 most days.
I get 8 hours in bed, but sleep poorly so I’d guess I get 6 hours more often than not.
to bed around 9:30 PM, up by 5:30 AM.
NOT my natural inclination. On vacation and long weekends I sleep late, stay up late.
Dang, you all are early risers!
During our winter break, I was staying up till at least 11:00 PM, and without an alarm clock, I was waking up about 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM, so I guess that’d be my natural sleeping pattern. If I was working, I’d set an alarm for 7:00 AM to be at work by 8:30 AM.
Right now!
I work 2nd shift AND I’m a night owl naturally. So I work 2-10pm. Which means I wake up at like 12:45pm. And go to bed at like 3-4am.
Right? If I don’t get in the shower purty quick, I won’t be done reading until after 10…
Exactly my schedule.
generally around midnight to 7-8am.
Between 10 and 11. Most mornings up 6-7.
I go to bed between 11 and midnight, and get up between 7 and 7:30 (sometimes earlier if I can’t sleep).
When I was a teenager I used to sleep in until 10:30 or 11 on weekends; I can’t even imagine doing that now. 8:30 is “sleeping in” for me.
OK, I posted my answer yesterday morning. Last night I expected someone would show up to tuck me in. Nobody showed. What’s up?
Our cars wouldn’t start.
No set time/day.
work days in bed 9:45, up by 5:30. weekends, in bed by 11, up at 5:30
In bed around 10:15-10:30, wake up 5:15 (work week) or 6 (weekends/holidays).
I used to go to bed with the sun rise. I worked second shift, so I’d get up somewhere 3-4 in the afternoon.
That is the sleep schedule that I always end up gravitating to, if I let myself, I will stay up later and later.
The past 5 years, I’ve kept to a very strict schedule, waking up at 6:34am every morning (my alarm is set for 6:35, and I always wake up one minute before it goes off), with the exception being a few holidays here and there where I would sleep in till maybe as late as 7:30.
I wrap up everything for the day by 11:30pm, and head towards bed, with my goal to be asleep by 12:15.
If I don’t maintain a fairly strict sleep schedule, I find myself staying up till 4 or 5, or even later, and sleeping in past noon.
Depends a great deal.
If I’m not working or on weekends, I’m generally up until 2-3am, then sleep until close to noon.
I’ve worked all shifts of the clock and have no problems adjusting my hours. The worst I experienced was working midnight to 8am and then driving straight east into the sun to get home, which usually meant I couldn’t get to sleep until noon or 1pm. The only real problem with that was my elderly mother, who couldn’t get my hours into her head. She’d call me at like 1:30pm and ask if I was up yet. No mom, I just got to sleep. Stop calling me at this hour, because if I HAD gotten home and to sleep at, say 9am? I’d have been asleep for 4.5 hours when you called and wouldn’t appreciate that either.
