Some early birds but be also interesting to know when folk go to bed
+1
7:30 Mon-Thur, 7:05 Friday, 6:30 Saturday, and maybe 8:00 on Sunday. I rarely get to bed before 23:30 though. TBH I'd quite like to go to bed and get up earlier, but there's no way I could convince my wife...
I fear I would end up partially nocturnal if I didn't have a job to go to. As it is, twenty ish past seven weekdays usually after eight weekends. Years ago used to do shift work, liked finishing at 2pm, hated getting up at 5am, then swapping to 2-10pm the next week. At one point used to include night shifts too. Even worse.

Weeknights 10.30pm but then I read for 30mins or so.
Weekends if we've not got friends round it'll be 10.30pm ish! Don't read at weekends, but will stick Bullseye on TV and set sleep-timer - soon nod-off! 🙂
but I still start the day stood with the back door open and an Americano
It takes two Americanos to open my back door in the morning.
Had a good lol at that one @Scotroutes 🙂

Between 11 and midnight. Once you factor in getting up for a piss I get by on about 5 hours a night.
Usually 5:58 ish.... Alarm set for 6... Oh and I work from home so no commute, but I'd typically start working at about 6:30/45
Go to bed/sleep between 9 & 10 (I like my sleep)
generally I'm asleep around 10.30 - 11. and wake generally anywhere between 4.30 and 5.30. normally downstairs by 6. never set an alarm, simply cannot sleep any later. late nights still wake up the same time in the morning just feeling worse. often have to have a late afternoon nap as I'm knackered.
been like it since the kids destroyed my sleep routine. so coming up 8 years now.
would very much like to go back to needing an alarm...

Not going to tell you how to live your life, but that's definitely not healthy. Personally one of the upsides to Covid was WFH - I rarely get less than 7 hours sleep a night, and I haven't had a migraine since 2020*. I used to tough it out with 6 hours sleep, 3-4 coffees a day, and at least one migraine a week... and that's ignoring the evidence that sleep deprivation is linked to dementia, Alzheimers and all sorts of fun stuff when you get old.
(*Now probably jinxed myself and tomorrow will be grim, but...)
Weekdays the alarm goes off at 6.10, usually already awake. Ride to school usually sat down at computer by 7.30. Weekends 7ish if I'm lucky do a shop ride most Saturdays which starts at 8 Sunday about the same, walk dog then take boy to rugby
Alarm at 5-45, snooze for an hour, then rush like mad to get to work, then on sat n sun 5am awake like a spring chicken 🤦♂️

I know, but after 5 or so hours I'm wide awake whether I like it or not.
Between 6.30 and 8.00 most days, depending what's going on. Given the chance I'll sleep later although not as much as I used to. Never usually in bed before 23.00.
Usually head to bed at 10.45 after the news, read for half an hour, so asleep by 11.15-11.30.
Once or twice a week I'll go up about 10 if I'm feeling particularly tired
I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen....
Actually, it's anytime between 5 and 8. Once I'm awake, I'm awake.
Set alarm for 06:05 and either wake miles before it goes off or repeatedly hit snooze and then rush like mad. Not a morning person at all and it has got worse since Covid. Takes a lot of caffeine and most of the morning to wake up. Bed between ten and eleven most nights.
The awesomeness that is Mrs F lets me have a lie in on a weekend as I’m pretty much permanently shattered. Weekend will involve naps too. None of this is by choice. I’d much rather be doing stuff
Currently about 7am to 8am. Used to be 6am winter and 5am summer. I'm guessing I'll start getting up earlier in a few weeks.
In bed about 10:30. Read till 11:15 or whenever Mrs M comes up. Out of bed at 6:30 except on Sundays when absent a plan it’s 8:00. Think I’d be better off with an earlier sleep time, but compromise and all that. On holiday stay up later but enjoy an afternoon nap if the chance arises!
Later than I should
Earlier than I want
Actual times may vary
Evening more often
Later than I should
At least I didn't (quite) watch the rest of that crap movie
Early riser here, aim for bed at 930 but my watch tells me I fall asleep around 10.10 most nights. It works for me... definitely good for my mental health
Weekdays is 6:30am alarm after a 10:00pm to 10:30pm bedtime. Getting the 8 hours is important to keep my brain and body going at school.
Weekends is usually between 8:00am and 9:00am but bedtime's usually around 1:00am Friday and Saturday so I tend to sleep less at the weekends than in the week (although TBH Saturday and Sunday often see a nana nap sneak into the afternoon routine).
I swear I've never grown out of my teenage years, I just dont do early mornings. I wish I could. I envy those of you who wake up at 6am on the dot, no alarm... BING! AWAKE!
Weekdays I wake get up at 8:30 ish, after several alarms on my clock and watch, which I'll happily sleep through. I go to bed at midnight or just after.
Weekends, well that depends what time I get to sleep. If it's a late one, IE 2am (or later) I'll quite happily sleep right through to 10am, 11am, sometimes later.
I can get up early if I need to but it's a real struggle. And I have done a couple of years of commuting 100 miles a day when I was up at 5:45am, but I did not enjoy it one bit.
And before anyone says 'just go to bed earlier!' that just means I'll get 10 hrs sleep rather than 8.
I will quite happily sleep right through (even turning off in my sleep) multiple alarms.
As above, I'm somehow still on a teenager sleep schedule at the age of 41... 🤣
Usually around lunchtime/12ish
5:30 alarm, short snooze and then out of bed. Walk the dogs before shower then off to work for 7:30. Weekend is dependant on knackeredness,but usualy up and about by 8am.
Bedtime by 10pm come rain or shine, plus I'm a big fan of an afternoon nap if the opportunity arises.
I envy those of you who wake up at 6am on the dot, no alarm… BING! AWAKE!
I'm one of them it it annoys the hell out of me. 5.30 most mornings wide awake. I never used to be like this - only the last 5 years or so. I'd love to be able to lie in like I used to. To read in bed half the morning. NOpe! wide awake time to get up.
6am most days including the weekends. I really struggle to get up before then as before 6am should only be for holiday flights.
8am at the weekend can feel like a real lie in.
Up at 6:30 (generally don't sleep well these days anyway because of shoulder pain), feed myself & the dogs then out for a 2.5 - 3km xc run with the pooches before heading home for a shower and getting stuff ready and leaving for work about 8:25.
Anything between 4:50 and 6am depending on where in the country I need to be. Usually try to be on the road by 6:30.
Riding mornings it’s 4.30am or 4.45am in ‘winter’. It’s much easier in the sub tropics because you know it will get hot by 7am.
Earlier if the Kookaburras or Cockatoos demand.
Workouts it’s 5am.
Weekends 5-7am.
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Rarely asleep any later than 10pm. </span>
Dog wakes at 6-6:30. I feed him and go back to bed. Can sleep until 8:30 or later. Since having covid I’m rubbish in the mornings. Cycling is a challenge for sure. Used to be out of the door at weekends at 6:30 for a 100+ km each day.
First take offs are at about 6:45. First landings can be anytime from about 5:30 (or earlier). 400 planes take off over my house most days at about 2000 ft. Don’t really notice them 🤣. You do notice the landings though.
6:45am alarm to get the kids up and ready for school. If I’m not in the office I’ll often go back to bed once they’ve left.
Weekends I wake up early but usually go back to sleep until 9 ish. I rarely go to bed before midnight.
Retired now, but used to work shifts so getting back into a rhythm took a bit of getting used to.
Bladder usually gets me up by 6, and I struggle to get back to sleep again, so I'll feed the dog and let her out, take Mrs Scape a cuppa then get a couple of hours music practice in before breakfast.
Bedtime usually between 11 and midnight.
Alarm goes off at 6:30 and I get up around 7:15 for a 7:30 start at work. I’m not a morning person and no matter how hard I try I can’t get into a habit of rising early and exercising.
Go to bed around 11 and usually read til midnight.
If I nap during the day I can’t sleep at night.
Generally getting up at 7.30 - 8.00am at the moment but don't go to bed until 1.00am'ish. I'm a freelancer / interim manager so it depends on the work I am doing and whether I need to be in an office or not - in the past I have done the 6.30am alarms, but if I'm working from home it could be as late as 10.00am. I am definitely a night owl.
without an alarm between 4:00 and 5:00 every morning. Once I wake up at that time I am wide awake so no point in trying to get back to sleep. But I can nap for Britain later on!
Morning all 😎
And so begins an hour of very boring physio work before hopefully a quick spin with the sunrise
Morning! Despite having a difficult tooth extraction late yesterday ( dentist had to stop and feed me lucozade I'd gone so pale and sweaty!) And being in pain I've had a good 6hrs sleep. Wide awake at the normal time though
4:30 this morning, listened to the radio, BBC World Service until 5:20. Now drinking a cup of tea waiting until it's light enough to go for a run. Went to bed last night at about 10:30 and read for about 15 minutes.
Up and about from 0530. Sometimes it's straight on to my bike for a 1hr 30 commute in. Today it's a quick but of work from home, in the car by 0700 and first commitment at work at just after 0800.
Now!
6ish alarm or no alarm. I like it, I see no superiority in it. But on the rare occasion I do lie in... It's going to be a doozy.
Around 6. I cannot lie in, latest I have got up in the last 10 years would be around 7 I would guess.
Earliest my wife has got up in last 10 years is probably 8 o'clock. We have very different bio clock things.
I have typically got up, fed animals, gone for a ride, had shower and some food before my wife is even awake.
5.30am once! Use to be half an hour before I left for work and out the door at 6am when I use to work and drive up to the big smoke. Now alot older its not much different 6.15am ish but this because it takes me ages to get my body moving properly. I certainly couldn't fall out of bed and go to work in half an hour now!
07:05 mon-fri to get kids up for school, sit around drinking coffee with intermittent shouts of 'can you hurry up please' then when cycling to work leave 7:45 - 8am. Weekends somewhere between 7 and 9 depending on booze or the cat waking me.
Go to bed rarely before 11:30, wife mocks me for having to go to bed so early! She's a night owl and will happily work until 2am then get up at 7:30. Kids also now joining in with the mocking of my 'early nights'.
5.45 to 6am if working. Anything between 8 and 11 on a weekend.
