I get up between 4:30 and 5:30....not by choice....so I go to bed by 10 mostly and I'm always tired

Not enough. Child woke up five times last night. #sotiredmyeyesarebleeding.

Usually in bed by 11pm, though not asleep till midnight. Followed up by a 5:50am alarm for work.

Mrs AO can tell if i am really tired, i take a little longer to get ready for work & just have a little sit-down in the shower .

I am a bad sleeper too. Average around 4 hours if I am lucky...

I try to be in bed by 10 as I like to read for a while. I have to be up by 7.30, but it's rare I sleep that long. I'm envious of my OH who can turn over and go straight back to sleep in the mornings and could spend the day in bed if allowed. Once I'm awake and it's light, that's it.

I sleep better now I wear earplugs. Before that the cats' snoring would wake me up several times a night.

I need at least 6-8 hours sleep each night. I'm a heavy sleeper and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

I need to set alarms at the weekend too, so that I don't waste the weekend sleeping because if I don't I sleep a minimum of 12 hours before I wake naturally. Sometimes far longer than that too!

Due to being like this I'll never understand the can't get to sleep, or woke up and couldn't get back to sleep other people talk about.

Generally speaking I go up to my room to read forums etc on my tablet at 8ish and snuggle down to watch/fall asleep to whatever panel show Dave puts on at 9. alarm goes off at 6 and I set off for work about 6:45 to beat traffic.

I'm sure I could survive on less sleep, I just don't want to! Besides, I've only got til February now to enjoy it, I hear once you're a parent you never sleep again

Any

I go to bed for 11pm. I either read a book or watch a bit of TV while getting ready for bed and generally switch it off by around 11.40 pm latest.
My alarm goes off at 7am. I get out of bed at 7.15am and OH gets up at 7.30 when I am out of shower.
I am quite happy with that and usually don't think about bed then until the evening again.

At weekends I usually don't go to bed before midnight, depends on what we are doing, but 1am is earliest if we are just at home.
Then I get up when I get up.... usually around 9am ish...

So I think I need about 8 hours. I wish I could do on less to have more time for stuff, but I am grumpy when I don't get enough.

Midnight to 7am if it's term time, 1am to 8am at weekends and holidays. Left to my own devices I'd be up till 3am, I'm very nocturnal, but I'd still need a straight seven hours sleep. But with kids this is not an option, and anything less than six hours I'd be a wreck the next day. More than eight hours sleep makes me feel groggy though so I do try to keep to a routine.
