What would be your preferred sleeping hours?

[bjscheel]

And what do you actually get?

I think I would get along great with being able to be in bed 10 pm to 8 am every day. It usually is more like 10:30 to 6:30. So hard to get up at 6:30.

I would be awesome with 8 hours of sleep. 11pm - 7am would be ideal for work days. It's probably more like 6.5 - 7 hours a night. 12-12:30 to 7ish.

2am - 8am is perfect for me.

 

[mombrontrent]

I would be very happy sleeping 11pm-7am everyday of the week. I usually sleep from about 11:30-12:00 until around 6 am. It's enough to function!

We typically go to bed between midnight and 1:30. Sleep until about 10. We only get up early when we're on vacation!

 

[BadgerGirl84]

10:30 - 6:30 is ideal for me...11-6:30 is more likely, so I'm not complaining!

 

[NFLDERS]

Retirement has afforded anytime sleeping! I like 11:30 pm - 7:30 am however I seldom seem to be awake for the 11 pm news anymore.. sigh.

I do better on less sleep. I would like 1130-430. Currently, I am running about 12a - 330, with multiple wake-ups within.

Honestly, I'd like something like midnight -9/10am...a little more realistic, I'd like something like 11ish - 8. I get up at 5 every weekday morning and go to bed between 10:30-midnight.

 

[mtemm]

I am in bed by 9, asleep by 10 or 10:30, up around 5:45. I would love 10:30-7! I've lost the ability to sleep in though. Even in the summer when the kids didn't have to get up for school and I could have slept in I was still up at 5:30/5:45

I'm at my best on 8 hours. Anything more and I feel tired during the day, strange as it sounds. I sleep 10-6 or 9:30-5:30, depending on whether I'm working out in the morning, and on the weekends the kids let me and DH sleep until 7.

 

[tvguy]

I'd like 8, but reality during the week is 6 1/2.....730 pm to 2 am. Weekends I get 12, 10 pm to 10 am.

 

[deedeetoo]

Midnight to 7 would be great. I try to do this on the weekend if my dog lets me sleep.

What do I really get? My normal weekday sleep schedule is 11:30-5:30.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Midnight to 8:00 am would be ideal, but only if I could still leave work when I do now (5:00 pm) or before.

Typical night is 11:00 pm to 5:40 am.

 

[mickeyboat]

I need 8 hours of sleep. I like 9. I usually sleep from 10 - 5:30.

 

[Aimros]

My preferred sleeping hours would be 10pm-6am or so. Unfortunately I have to be up at 5am, so I try to aim for a 9:30pm bedtime. I don't like waking up in the dark - 5am has been really tough lately!

 

[Tinker'n'Fun]

I am disabled and my sleep cycle is horrible. I would love 11-8 with one wake up. I have to move every 4 hours or so and use the bathroom. Lately I get to sleep at 4 and get up at 12-1. This totally ruins the day. Maybe with the time change I can work in a new schedule.

 

[minnie mum]

I'm a night owl, so I love being retired now. Before I retired I had to be up at 5:30. Going to bed before midnight was just awful for me. I'd have to have a nap when I got home in the afternoon. Now I usually go to bed at 1:30 - 2:00 am and get up at 9:00 - 9:30.

 

[Neesy228]

In my perfect (aka imaginary) world, I would sleep from about 3am to 11:00am. I do pretty good with 7-8 hours of sleep.

Alas, my alarm goes off at 6:30am to get the kids ready for school and I usually end up with about 3-4 hours. I do sleep in on the weekends and its glorious.

 

[IndyRnRfan]

In bed between 10-11 pm get up at 5:50. On weekends if I make it to 7:30 am, I consider that sleeping in.
