Do you go to bed at the same time every night?

I do, pretty much, whether it's a work night or not. I usually stay up and watch the news, and then take a shower around 11:35 or so, and get in bed shortly after. I usually don't turn out my light until 12:30 though. I'm a creature of habit.

I am the same way, but it is much earlier for me, I love the mornings so I get up early no matter what day it is, so I usually get tired and want to go bed around 10:30 or 11:00, I am very much a creature of habit, hardly ever stay up late, such a change from when I was in my 20's.

Oh, I am just not a morning person. If I only had to go to work from 12:00pm to 5:00 pm. I probably wouldn't hate working so much. (notice I only chose a 5 hour day) I hate working 8, so if I could choose, I wouldn't. lol Course, if I could truly choose, I'd never work at all. lol

I don't ever go to bed at exactly the same time each night, but generally I will turn in around 11pm to 1am. I would love to go to sleep earlier, but I always wake up after 30 minutes. I get up at 5am so oversleeping is never a problem, LOL. : )

I get up every couple hours to go to the bathroom, so I'm always tired in the morning, and can't hardly get up. When my supervisor let me choose my work hours, I chose 9:30 to 5:30, and I have enough trouble getting up and being there at that time. lol I get up at 8 am, and it takes me 35 minutes to get there. If I worked half as far away, it would be a little better, I guess.

My goodness...you go to bed that early..LOL. If something comes up and I do need to be in bed early I'll be in bed by 12..but otherwise I'm a real night owl and often don't go to bed until around 4 in the morning...and *gasps* sometimes even later than that...it depends how much work I've needed to do in front of the computer that night

Oh, I'd love to be able to stay up real late again. When my kids were little and I didn't work, I'd stay up late after they went to bed and clean my house. I loved it. If I didn't have to go to work, I'd be up late at night still. I still think that's part of the reason I have so much trouble sleeping, because my body is really on second shift. I hate early mornings. My dream day is to get up at 10:30 and go to bed at 3am. I can't do that anymore.

Do you like working second shift? My son works the 3-11 shift, and seems to like it. I'm not sure I would. That's a cute doggy on your avatar. Thanks for your reply.

I am looking for one. I think 4-5 hrs sleep is enough, so I can have enough time to get another job. I am making my resume right now. ~mar

I very rarely go to bed at the same time two nights in a row. I know that I probably should. I have been told that it would probably help with my insomnia, but even when I tried, it didn't help. I just layed there awake for hours until I got back up. Now I just stay up until I am tired enough that I feel like I might be able to go to sleep. Sometimes it is early, and sometimes it is late.

The time I go to bed varies here. It depends on if I was able to get online for a few hours in the am b4 work or if I end up working out in the yard for a while after work because my time on the puter is every nite for a few hours b4 I retire. Also depends on how tired I am as well.

Do your kittys jump all over and lay on you at night? Mine do, so it's hard to get a good nights sleep.

When Lightning was still alive, yeah. Him and Tigger would roughhouse all over the bed b4 they would finally settle down for the night. Lightning always had his place on my pillow above my head. Now that he's gone, my daughter's cat Lil' Bear, will sleep next to me and Tigger will sleep under the bed. Those 2 are always harassing each other so there are times I would have to put one in the spare room so I can sleep. lol

Mine are the same, it's usually either Goldie or Chester laying on my pillow on top of my head. Then Priscilla lays next to me, and Dudley has taken a liking to sleeping on my purse. It's embarrasing going to work with white cat hair on my black purse. lol

it varies quite a bit with me,but usually i go to bed at 6:30 am thereabouts.i'm a night owl,so i'm up all night. it also depends on how humid it is,like right now it's horrible.can't sleep well when it's like that.

until about 9:30 am..that's about the time the rest of the neighborhood gets up and works on the house or yard. they're a lil girl up the street,i swear they let her out to scream.i guess they don't want that in their house either LOL

nope.I only slepp if i feel like sleeping already.It depends on my eyes' tiredness.If i have a lot of things to do and I'm in the mood for doing it, I always hope and pray that I won't feel sleepy.Honestly, I love sleeping or just lying in bed but because of the things that I want to be done, I don't have much time of it.I have this attitude in doing things before I rest coz I can't rest / sleep properly if those things are still there.I love taking a bath too before I sleep.

I mostly go to bed to sleep at midnight after surfing the net and brushing my teeth and wake up at about 6am in the morning. Yes it is good to have habit but it is also essential to have adequate sleep. I also take afternoon nap. So that helps too.

I've never been a nap person. The only time I do, is if I'm sick with a flu or something.

I cant really say that I go to bed at the same time everyday. My work dont allow me to do that, even though I would like to do that. Most of the days, I get some job that extends my time to go to bed. But personally, I like to go to bed at a particular time only.
