I'm normally in bed by 11 and my alarm is at 8 unless I'm working away and then I'll be up to suit my journey time.

The Mrs works alternating early/late shifts so I occasionally get woken up by her alarm at 05:30 but that just means time to go for a run in the morning.

Bed, between 2130 and 2200 most weekdays and up at 0630 nearly every day.
Occasionally I'll watch something on telly but invariably I scoot off to bed to watch it then fall asleep within 15mins anyway.

Need at least 7 to feel ok, 8 to be at my best. Anything less isn't pretty.

10:30 - 11:00, up at 7am latest as that's when the kids get us up. It's just about enough, if I get much less these days I start getting grumpy.

Edit: Actually I think the problem for me isn't the amount of sleep but the amount of unbroken sleep. Generally one of the kids will wake up for a wee and the other will have a moan about something or other. I'll wake at the slightest sound from them so probably get about 2-4 hours unbroken. For a while I was sleeping right through and felt really good.

Bed normally around 10.30 then up at 6am everyday.

If I'm out riding I might not get in until midnight. Generally don't feel tired, I think when I do it's more the 12 hours at work than the amount of sleep to be honest!

I still wake up by 7 at the weekends and I go to bed later so don't think I'm in a sleep deficit at all really.

12.30pm - 1am then awake at 6am, though generally slumber for a bit. I tend not to need much sleep for the brighter half of the year.

Reading the above I'm getting no where near enough sleep. Normally in bed between 11.30pm and Midnight up again at 6.40am.
I'm not usually that tired on a night but knackered on a morning. Strange thing is with or without an alarm, I'm up at the same time every day which is annoying on a weekend. If I go bed later I'm normally awake within 1/2 hour of my normal wake up time. Only time I can really sleep longer than this is if I've had a skin full the night before.

In bed for just after 10 Sunday to Thursday, read for a bit then light off for around 10:30, up at 6am latest but usually awake about 5:30 am. Ride 20 miles to work, 20 home and I'm pretty much ****ed most of the time, I could sleep right now.

Lots of worries at the moment so not getting quality sleep either.

Stay up till about midnight at the weekends if I can stay awake, would be very unusual to sleep past 7am.

It makes no odds what time I go to bed...

Before her- she'll wake me up because 'I can't get to sleep with that racket you're making'.

After her - she'll keep coming down asking 'When are you coming to bed? I can't get to sleep until you're in bed too'.

🙄

Thereafter, the amount of sleep depends on whether I get a call out/someone wets their bed/there is a bear or crocodile spotted during the night, shite like that!

Bed by 10 falling asleep varies from either 10:30 - midnight normally awake 5:30 then drift off again after a pee alarm at 7. I usually wake up a few times in the night never get more than 5-6 hours but I seem to manage on that.

Bed ~12. Usually asleep somewhere after 1230 when the neighbour has turned off her TV. Wake up at: ~330 when deliveries for the warehouse arrive; ~5am when the seagulls nesting in the flat opposite me wakeup; 7am when my housemate's alarm goes off. I usually drag myself out by 815. [b]If[/b] the earplugs don't fall out I get a full night's sleep.

I slept better when I lived right next to the WOE mainline & a train washing machine.

I work offshore so have to cope with -

2 weeks of Midday-midnight shift:
Excellent, Bed 00:30 ~ 07:00, then 5hrs to myself (gym, movie, food).

2 weeks of Midnight-midday shift:
Terrible, sleep a few hours in the afternoon if I'm lucky, for a few days, gradually fatigue gets me and then one 10hr long sleep of death (repeat).

4 weeks at Home: bed by 23:00, 7hrs every night. and a post lunch 30min shut eye!

And international flights to mess up the start and end of the cycle.

If I'm cycling in I'll usually be in bed about 22:30, set the alarm for 5:30. I'll be awake about 3:00 though normally.
Driving in, I get an extra half hour so in bed about 11:00, set alarm for 6:00. Still awake at 3:00 mind.

Friday night I'll stay up late, say 2am, if I'm really, really lucky (and have had a few beers), I'll wake up about 7:00 then snooze for an hour. Love Saturday mornings.

We're in bed by 23:00 most nights. I fall asleep almost instantly, to my wife's annoyance. On weekdays I get up at 06:40 for work, or 5:40 if I have to go in early. Most nights are punctuated by our now 9 month old daughter waking for around an hour, any time between 03:00 and 05:30 so on average I probably get 6 hours, but usually in two chunks. My wife gets 2 or 3 hours less because she has so much trouble falling asleep.

Anyone that thinks they're tired but hasn't got any children, insomnia or both needs to MTFU.

[i]I fall asleep almost instantly, to my wife's annoyance.[/i]

I hate you already.
My wife can fall asleep the instant her head hits the pillow. I have to empty my mind, meditate, chill before I can get myself in the right place to go to sleep. As I've said before, when I was younger I just couldn't be bothered going to sleep at normal times. I knew it would be impossible so I'd just stay up until I felt like I could fall asleep without working at it. That would be after three days sometimes. They were crazy days.
