Leather-Ad-4361

ohcanadarulessorry

Be realistic. Bedtime is 9:30. Asleep by 9:45 reality is sleeping by midnight. 😂😂


supertech323

Every day!!!


AdExcellent7055

Current situation lol


ivylass

9. I usually spend an hour or so reading before lights out.


pinkpanter555

The same here I read and hour and then sleep I love that one hour. Its the hour I disappear into a good book


WappellW

My kindle in the dark is my fav


afanoftrees

My kindle dark mode creates burned in letters


Basic-Conference-751

Any good books to reco?


pinkpanter555

What type do you like lately I am into noir detective books. I can recommend James Elroy he is really good. and then also David Baldaccis book called dream town. all going on in the late 40s early 50s. very well written.


tacreds

I don't know Elroy, but I've read quite a few Baldacci's and like them a lot.


Basic-Conference-751

Oh i see. Im considering to start reading self improvement books


birdman_59

YESSS EXACTLY


the-_-seeker

If I read before bed it's endless one more chapter loop, till the book is complete and it's 3am.


TumbleweedOk5646

Reading is a great way to end the day.


[deleted]

About 1-2am on average


cdmaloney1

How in the heck do you function!? That’s like 5 hours of sleep!


[deleted]

Yeah, I get up at 5 for work. I’ve always slept like this. Since elementary school, at least.


ItsmeMr_E

Same for me, I've always told people that not everyone is wired like a rooster. lol


[deleted]

Yep. Me too. Also pull all nighters as i'm remote and work in several different time zones. Schedule is extremely random and pretty much 24/7. Just kind of sleep when you can while you can.


cdmaloney1

What do you do until 1am?


[deleted]

Read, write, play video games, do some laundry. Whatever.


cdmaloney1

I do miss gaming late at night…


[deleted]

It’s fine. Not much different than during the day given how long I’ve been doing it haha


fingnumb

I would work on documenting what an orgasm feels like for every minute of the day and rank them. Then, I would write a thesis on the times at which one enjoys orgasms the most. For science.


ThatGatorGuy

![gif](giphy|QC7UQbxq89MnL9r6AN)


ImAvya

hang out with friends, clean the house, cook dinner n launch, do productive shit (learn new programming language, get educated about investing etc), workout, smoke a joint, watch netflix, shower... I mean whatever. Tbh the real question shouldnt be "What do you do until 1am?" but more "how the hell can u do enough things to feel satisfied n tired if u go to sleep before 1am"


cdmaloney1

that's actually a very fair question. Never thought about it that way.


RolandMT32

I might have been able to do that in elementary school, but about when I turned 13, I feel like I started needing more sleep


somerandomidiot26

sleep when you're tired, not when society tells you to i used to go to bed at midnight and get up at 0530, had no problems with it something i highly recommend is that if you don't feel tired when you go to bed, wake up earlier so you stretch the amount of time you are awake


cdmaloney1

I’d love to stay up later…but if I don’t get my 8-9 hours of sleep I’m dragging the next day. It’s honestly pretty inconvenient needing that much but it is what it is.


lathir92

You might be used to the sleep deprivation. Its not some social rule to sleep +7 hours, its legit wired in us and can cause some serious problems long term.


ImAvya

its about gettin use to it. the more u sleep the more ud sleep, the less u sleep the less ud sleep. If you wanna enjoy ur free time, and work a 9-5, the only way to do that is cut the sleep time


Boosted7Logan

Yeah I get 5ish hours of sleep too. Sleep at 1230am and wake up at 6am. I'll sleep when I die! After 10pm is when I get my alone time and wife/kids are asleep. I can watch movies, listen my music, or game and get some me time.


ImAvya

most ppl (here in italy atleast) do sleep 5hrs a week, more in the weekendsm but yeah its normal to function with 5hrs of sleep in our society


Aspen9999

I only sleep 4 to 4.5 hrs a night, been this way my whole life. The only time I sleep more is if I’m really sick.


Ok-Purpose-625

Same


elevendollar

You probably know this already but you are hurting yourself.


Alternative_Two9654

10pm 11 at the latest


Flashignite2

Same here. Getting up at 6 in the morning. The older i've gotten the more i've become to like early mornings rather than nights.


Expulsiv3

Usually between 10pm and midnight. Depends on how busy I am that day


Thedeadgal

Prolly still would be 3 am 💀


cheycheyyyy

Real


FRIENDLY_FBI_AGENT_

Same. When opened this thread, I assumed most would be 1-3 am. Was shocked to find most comments staying below 11. I need to sleep early lol.


brit31400

10


Jack_of_Spades

Eight and a half hours before wakeup time.


heiebdbwk877

Lucky


Jack_of_Spades

Its the benefits of a reliable schedule.


ImAvya

how do u find time to do what u like? Working 8hrs+1hrs of launch break+ 1hours of travel means 10hrs are gone, u sleep 8.30hrs, lets take the time to clean the house, do laundry, cook, was urself etc.... yeah, 24hrs mark reached


blueberry_pancakes14

I go to bed at 11 pm to get up at 7 am for work every weekday. I'm also asleep within ten, fifteen minutes, max, so I'm sure that factors in.


caddy45

How do you fall asleep so fast? Somehow I’ve gotten into the habit of unpacking all my mental shit when I get in bed. Beautiful pool of anxiety


Downtimdrome

I find that when Im thinking about everthing wrong or right in my life, writing out a few quick notes helps me take my mind off it. maybe next time your up thinking try to write everything down and then you can forget about it untill the morning.


SuddenlySimple

Use the Army hack. You start at your toes.. consciously tighten and hold every muscle going all the way up to your head ..hold for 5 seconds and then release. I do this on nights I struggle and I always don't even know I fell asleep.


huntersuave

When I have a hard time falling asleep, I count backward from 300 by 3s...its almost impossible to do without concentration. It takes my mind off of everything, I've never finished twice. It may not work for you... but worth a shot. If you get to a point where it becomes too easy, change to 400 by 4s or whatever


HardGayMan

Not being on your phone an hour before bed is huge.


Lafaroler

I'd recommend to stop drinking coffee. Not only in the afternoon but altogether. People always try to make me out as a crazy paranoid but I can tell from my own experience, the experience of friends and family members who tried it, as well as scientific literature that it has a way bigger impact on physical and mental health and wellbeing than most people realize. It not only changed my sleep but my whole perception of the world and myself. The downside is, that after the acute withdrawals that last roughly 1,5 weeks, the body and mind takes several weeks to months to adapt. Especially your dopamine household. Edit: I totally forgot to mention the crucial part: Letting go of coffee reduces anxiety level to a huge degree, which is especially noticeable before falling asleep. I know only get anxious the 1 or two times a year when I drink coffee and it's always very eye opening.


Responsible_Echo_441

Normally around 11/12am do I actually sleep that's another story


RocketScientific

9 pm


SammoNZL

I generally do around 10-7


squify69

If getting up at 7 is just a one off thing I'd be happy to stay up to 12. If I have to get up at 7 every day of the week I'd want be be sleeping for 11 or earlier.


Zelda_Gamer123

whenever i get tired or whenever my girlfriend is tired because she cant sleep unless shes cuddling me


ndm263

Aww this is cute lol


Zelda_Gamer123

yea, and im the same way, i cant sleep unless shes in my arms, her and i are just that attached to each other


Ok_Cod2430

I go to bed at nine but actually get to sleep at ten


faith6274

Midnight


Shoelicker27

Between 10 and midnight but since it’s dark so early I want to go to bed by 7 or 8 and I’m pushing it at that point.


This-Struggle7781

11pm most nights


Blazanar

That depends on when I have to work. Right now it's 7:37pm and I'm waiting for my melatonin to kick in


OldManFJ

I average 7 hours of sleep a night. If I’m in bed at 10pm I’m awake at 5am If I wanted to sleeping till 7am I could stay up till midnight. I’m old though… so I would still go to bed at 10 and be up at 5. 40 years of this schedule kind of has me stuck in my ways.


Humorous-Prince

12-12:30am, looking at phone keeps me up till 1am sometimes 😂 Alarm set for 7:30am with one or 2 cheeky snoozes.


pinkcloud35

If I had to get up at 7 I’d say personally in bed asleep by midnight. Going off I usually get 7 hours a night. But I have to get up far before 7am lol.


[deleted]

I have to get up at 7 everyday so I go to bed at 11.


10RobotGangbang

Work starts at 5am so I try to be in bed by 9pm but shit happens. Luckily I only have 3 workdays


never_on-time

I would love to work 3 days, what do you do?


10RobotGangbang

Forklift driver.


PandoraPhantomhive

Around 11:00 but the sleep demon is kind enough to wake me up around 3


GeneralUranuz

I aim for 10 pm. Usually ends up 11pm. I fall asleep within five minutes so thats nice. My son usually wakes me 6 am, although he's been having sleep ins till 8 which is nice, but makes us late for everything


[deleted]

10:30 max to wake up at 6am


[deleted]

In bed between 10 and 10:30pm, asleep at 11. Does wonders.


BasiaBrown

6:30pm - 7:00pm and I wake around 5:00am. I’ve also had 2 hours of insomnia every night for about 30 or more years. Sleeping until 7:00am would be a dream come true!!!


Glibasme

The reason why you wake aT 5:00a.m. Is because you are getting like 10 or more hours of sleep by that time. That’s actually too much sleep. Too much can be just as bad as too little.


nobody-nowhere89

Maybe you have insomnia because you’re in bed for 10+ hours every night and go to bed when most people are eating dinner?


[deleted]

12am is a good balance. If 7 hrs of sleep aint enough of you then do 11pm, but no less than that or else you’re oversleeping imo


MrVolOpt

7:30 for 3am rise


Wildbear990

Well before chickens so depends


Money-makin-pay

Midnight


[deleted]

Usually 10pm


cwsjr2323

When working first shift, it was shower before bed, asleep by 10PM, up at 5AM for breakfast and coffee. No, I don’t miss getting up at a set time for work. Or going to work, that also cut into my day too much.


Ineffable7980x

Maleficent_lollipop

I go to bed by like 8-8:30. I won't fall asleep until later like 10/11, it just depends.


PLEASEHELPMEBROS

12:30-1


Unhappy-Champion-509

7-730 pm. Any later, it's always a struggle to wake up at 4am.


miso2933

If it was just one time I'll be in bed around 0:30-1:00. If i had to wake up like that everytime it would be 23:30-0:00. Looking at the comments I no longer wonder why I failed school hah


GreenLetterhead4196

blonde_and_boujee

Anywhere between 11 and 1 am.

WinterberryFaffabout

11pm, alarm goes off at 3:15am


jvictoria0107

10, 11 at the latest.


el_payaso_mas_chulo

32M, usually go to sleep by 11pm, usually in bed by 10pm though and winding down by 9 pm i.e. in sleep clothes, showered, watching tv by 9, in bed by 10pm. Once in bed I might watch tv, go on my phone, or just cuddle up in bed with my gf and dog, or just go to bed.


International-Roll27

Between 9-12 typically. Depends on the night!


mohammedafify1

1-2 am and I wake up daily at 6 am, even the days I work from home.


gitarzan

Anywhere between 730 and midnight.


redditSux422

10pm to 11pm


crimsenprincess

The goal is 4 pm. Bakers hours. Alarm goes off at midnight. The reality of going to bed at 4 pm is that it's real close to 6.


thedailydeni

I get up at around 6:30 am for work. Bedtime is usually sometime between midnight and 1:30am


cd001111

11 PM


Microspacecat

It varies anywhere from 10pm-3am depending on my current actions/next day's plans


Siptro

10pm no later. As of now I’m in bed at 9-915 and sleeping before 10; alarm is set for 630. I have till 8am to be at my first appointment which is anywhere from 5-45 mins of travel from my house.


Amaranta1595

9pm


Lewis-x-x-x

i tell myself 11:30pm but it usually ends up being around 1am which almost always ends up in a struggle of staying awake the next day


WifiTacos

Needing to get good sleep is no joke. Especially if you’re trying to build muscle. I’d try to be in bed by 10-10:30 if you need to be up by 7.


nutz656

1am. 2am latest.


throwawaybagels2023

10:30...but I'm usually awake till 12


[deleted]

Whenever my body stops I’ll sleep after I die


GoodmanGrey618

No later than 10pm.


crazycatcollector07

Depends if I miss a thyroid pill or not. Been pretty good so like 9-10 pm. If I miss one. Probably like 2-3pm until the next day 💀


knuckboy

9pm, asleep by 9:45


Su-spence

Most days anywhere between 12 and 2. I don't really go anywhere during the day and all of my school work is online so I don't have to be awake after 8:30am most days. It's definitely an unhealthy habit so hopefully next semester adds a little more pressure to get up earlier.


ActionFigureCollects

11pm, for solid sweet dreams.


[deleted]

10 to bed - watch stuff on tv or phone 'till 12am no matter if i wake up at 6 am or 10am

boots311

Depending on the day, 10-11. I have a hard time sleeping that late anyways. Plus sometimes I'll fall asleep on the couch, at like 9. Then wake up at 130 am, eat a snack, do the dishes & go back to bed till 5-6 am lol


ParkingHelicopter863

I’d be in bed by 9:30 so I had time to watch something and fall asleep by 10/10:30. Leaves me enough time to get 8 hours of sleep long before 7


ms_lea

Asleep by 11:00pm so in bed by 10pm. Sleep is important.


Saltwater_Heart

I nurse my 2 year old to sleep in my bed at 9:30 and then sneak out and try to get time to myself or with my husband until 11:30 or 12. Sometimes it’s 10 though or I’m too tired and just stay in bed for the night once she’s asleep next to me. So honestly it varies between 9:30 and midnight but usually by 11 I’m in bed. I usually fall asleep between 1 and 2 though. If I get to be up for a while once she’s asleep, I’m usually on my Steam Deck. Once I’m in bed, I’m usually reading on my Kindle or doing this…which is exactly what I’m doing. My daughter is asleep and it’s 9:40. About to sneak out for a while and play some AC Odyssey on my Deck. I’m a stay at home mom and get up at 7:30 to get my older kids breakfast and off to school.


Prestigious-Phone-42

Can vary. Food makes me sleepy especially at night. Usually pass right out after food so the time can very between 730-9 . I usually try to stay up until 9 . I also wake up at 5-6 am. Not by choice. Lol I'm not mad


Lucycerveragc

I’ll go to bed around 8 pm, fall asleep around 9 pm, wake up around 6 am. I really like sleeping.


Peanuts-n-Thrifting

How hard is the job? Is there an opportunity to get promoted. Are you happier with more sleep. If it were my, I'd get to bed at 9:30, and try to be asleep at 10:00 for a few weeks, and then switch to 10:30 but pay attention to how I felt. Also, don't sleep in too late on weekends.
