What time do you go to bed? - The DIS Discussion Forums

tvguy · 10-02-2012, 11:03 PM

Went on a cruise (not on Disney) to Alaska, amazed how early folks went to bed. Even on a seas day. Pretty quiet after 10 pm. First cruise I took 30 years ago, the night club didn't even open until 1:30 am.

Just seems to me that people are going to bed earlier. Are you?

I should note, I have never had a "normal" work schedule, thus my sleep schedule has never been normal. 25 years of working 11 pm to 7 am and sleeping 9 am to 5 pm, and these days due to my work schedule (and that of my wife) normal bed time during the week is 7 pm.

On a normal day, usually around midnight.

On weekends, as late as 3am... sometimes later

jujube · 10-02-2012, 11:12 PM

Between 3-5 am is my usual time. My children are grown and I sleep until 11 am.

Whenever I'm allowed to! I've been struggling with my DD at bedtime and it's definitely limiting the amount of sleep I get. Most nights I'm in bed at around 1am, I cherish a good nap every once in awhile!

I usually go to sleep around midnight and get up around 8. I'm not a morning person. I can go to bed earlier, but I still wake up about 8

Even if I go to sleep at 10 (and I always fall right asleep) I still don't wake up until 8. I have always been an excellent sleeper. My mother said she got some advice when she was pregnant with me that she should make lots of noise while I slept so I would learn to sleep well! She says she would come in my room and vacuum under my crib and make various other noises while I slept. Judging from the number of my friends who post things on fb about all the trouble they have sleeping I sure am thankful to whoever gave her that wonderful advise

I think my mom got the same advice. During my many years of sleeping 9 am to 5 pm I slept through them putting a new roof on my house and them buidling an addition on the back of my house.

I am normally in bed by 10:00 but thanks to the iPad I stay up way to late. Most of the time I am asleep by 1 am. I get up at 6:00 am.

ladypage · 10-03-2012, 12:08 AM

Normally not before 2 am. Often around 5 or 6 in the morning.

superme80 · 10-03-2012, 12:12 AM

I had horrible insomnia with DS #2 and DH is a night owl. I am normally in bed by 2 am. Other nights around 4 or 5 am. Thankfully coffee keeps me going.

Meriweather · 10-03-2012, 07:57 AM

I go to bed around 10...........same as I almost always have.
I get up at 5:30.

Pretty much the same on cruises............maybe to bed a bit later.
I do love the ships in the early morning, so quiet and peaceful and great chance to take pictures without people in them.

StephMK · 10-03-2012, 08:03 AM

Usually between 11-1 and I have to get up at 6:30. The time/weather changes always mess with me and I'm really tired lately, no matter how much sleep I get. Normally, 6 hours is about right then I have one good sleep in on the weekend and I'm good to go.

I despise getting up early but darn kids have to get to school. And when I eventually stop working from home and start commuting again, I'll have to be functional at that time.

I so agree my parents went on with their lives when we napped. I noticed it was bad with nieces and nephew who couldn't sleep for nothing when we were just doing normal things while they napped.

Fire14 · 10-03-2012, 11:13 AM

For me it's all over the board on when I crash for night. I'd say norm is 11p on cruise more like 1a. up 6-7 on cruise here at home 9a. I used to work graveyard and DH did when we were first married.

Same here.

novajeanjellybean · 10-03-2012, 12:48 AM

Normally between 12-2 am with 12 am being early. I am also not a morning person but should be up around 8 every morning. I rarely make 8, 8:30 am is the average. I have 1 day off per week and I can easily sleep in until 11 am or later. I also nap on my day off or if I get off early. I love to sleep!!
