When is your bedtime?

Oh I remember the days when I use to stay up late and go out or watch movies, or do whatever. Since my babies don't sttn, I find myself putting them to bed at around 6pm and then I myself am in bed for the night by 730pm at the latest. Am I the only one out there that goes to bed this early??

 

Before my girls started STTN (most nights) I would typically go to bed when they went to bed. Now that they are sleeping for longer periods of time, I usally go to bed between 10-10:30, just so I can have some time to myself (or with DH )

 

I went to bed that early before they were STTN. Now I go to bed about 10.

 

I used to go to bed early actually (9pm) now I can't get myself to sleep earlier than 11pm. I don't know what happened :huh: . I wish I could go to sleep earlier again. I could use it...LOL.

 

At that age before STTN probably about 9pm or so. Sometimes I would just stay awake until the 10:30 feeding. Now I go anywhere from 10-11 pm.

 

Before mine were STTN, I went to bed shortly after all three girls were in bed. But now that they are sleeping much better, it's between 10 - 11, depending how many threads are really interesting on TS that night.

 

Nope I rarely find myself in bed before midnight. I should learn to go to bed when they do, but I find that time with all the kids asleep too interesting :laughing:

 

I go between 11-1130 and am up by 7- 715 each morning I like to watch the news and get the weather for the next day before hopping into bed.

 

Since I feed the babies in the morning before work, I get up at 4am so I can get ready first. I've trained myself to go bed by 9 or 9:30am so I can get at least 6 hours of sleep.


The bad thing with that is that on the weekends when I don't need to be up at any certain time, just when the babies wake up, I can't stay up late anymore. I tried to watch a movie and couldn't make it passed 11pm

 

Before they were STTN I would say 9/10ish. Now, unfortunely WAY later then I should. Last night I was up till midnight but usually around 10:30/11pm. I would be happy if I could get to bed at 10pm everynight!

 

You're not alone! DH and I get ready for bed at 7:30. If we're not asleep by 8:15 it's only b/c one of the boys is still up (which never happens). We are up at 5 though. I'll sleep a little longer if DH doesn't have to work or I was up a lot at night. The boys sleep 7pm-6am.

 

I wish I could go to sleep earlier!! I go around 11, boys are down at 9.... Then I get up at 530!! But when I get in bed, I either fold laundry, watch tv, read a book, or me and hubby have "adult playtime" lol Its about time!!! LOL I usually am to sleep by 1!!! BUt with Jay working nights, its easier for me just to stay up later with them, get my stuff done, and then they sleep in for him! I can go without the sleep, he cannot!!

as soon as the girls are asleep, i go to sleep!

 

11 pm here. I think all the coffee I drink keeps me up late.

 

I go to bed after their second night feeding, so around 11 pm. They usually sleep from 7-10 but I just relax and have me time. DH gets home at 1 am and does that feeding, so that helps a LOT.

 

I am currently in bed. I took a bath around 8:30. Hopefully asleep by 10, although I should go to sleep earlier. 2 years ago I was awake until 1 am on a regular basis (still coming off the college schedule). Now I can't make it past 11 unless Dr. Pepper plays a role.

 

Around 1am here. Of course it helps that we dont start our day until 8:15am. Every morning I wake up to Elizabeth babbling and Thomas moaning. It is funny and adorable!

 

I'm lucky to get in bed before 11:00. Before the girls, I was in bed by 9:00 at the latest. When I'm in school, after 8:00 (which is their bedtime) I will grade papers and get lessons ready for the next day and that always takes at least two hours a night. During the summer you'd think i would go to bed earlier, but now I'm so used to that time, if I try to go to bed early I don't sleep well.

 

In bed after the evening feed at 7:45 (8:30pm - 9pm at the latest)... and am able to put myself to sleep within 5 minutes (have trained myself to do that since they were born - b/fhand it would take up to an hour for me to fall asleep - but am soooo damn tired these days)... girls then sleep through til around 12:30am - feed- back to bed - up again around 4:30am - and then hit and miss after that - maybe 45 minutes - and then the day begins all over again....

 

We are always in bed now by 9pm. Sometimes 8:30 if we're super exhausted. I'm hoping that we can move this a bit later to have more evening time, but we're still too tired.

It's funny...now that we have a nanny, she could work an evening or 2 a week so we could go out...but we're too tired to do even that. It sounds nice, but all we want to do is veg out in front of the TV every night.

 

I am in bed usually between 9-10pm I would probably go to bed even earlier although this usually my only free time I get so I try to get a bunch done.

 

If I was smart I would go to bed early but I am rarely in bed before 11/11:30. I work until 8 2 nights a week and need that unwind time when I come home, and well I have no excuse for the other nights except that I'm a night owl. DH and I do enjoy the alone time in the evening though, the babies sleep from 7p-6:30/7 a so we get a good chunk of time to ourselves in the evening. I get up at 6/6:30 most days so overall not enough sleep!

 

Lately it's been midnight, or 1 am. I'd be happy with 11p. I've always been a night owl. Luckily the girls cooperate for me and rarely do we get up before 7am and that's on the days I have to leave for work.

3 - 11 shift at the hospital was my favorite shift to work!

 

I was just thinking of asking the same question. We are pathetic we are in bed around 8:30pm. I seem to have got my cat on a wake up schedule now of 4am and I can't fall back asleep. Too frustrating. We have the kids sleeping till 5;30ish but not mommy.

 

Around 11pm. I work full time, and then by the time the babies are in bed by 7pm, it's time to exercise, wash the bottles, cook dinner, do laundry. We usually don't even eat till 9pm (ugh). I'd love to get myself to bed earlier, buit i need to have some wind down time.......

Me too! Usually between 930 and 1030.

 

My girls go to bed at around 8-830pm but DH and I don't usually go to bed until 1130-12. We enjoy having free time to ourselves and together, plus DH works 10 hr. days so I don't have much time to myself during the day. Luckily they are sleeping 12 hrs at night
