So, on average how much do you get at night?

On an undisturbed (ie, no baby screaming the house down expecting a dummy to be retrieved), I reckon I get about 8. Bed by 10/10.30, up at 6.30. A colleague I once worked with reckoned he needed no more than 5 and didn't hit the hay until 1am - unfortunately he was very odd and a bit jittery.

You?
 
Try and get to bed before midnight. Normally up at 8 and in work for 9. Sometimes I get up at 7 with the missus.
 
I always end up going to bed at about 1am and then wake up at 6.45am feeling rubbish. Why don't I go to bed earlier????

I've had a change in my sleep pattern ever since I gave up smoking in October. When I was smoking I would never wake up during the night. Since giving up i've started waking up once a night to go to the bathroom.
 
Usually go to bed around 10:30-11pm, sometimes would take me hours to fall asleep and other times just takes me a few minutes. Get up around 6-7am unless I don't give myself a reason to get up then it can be anytime!

Sleeping pattern at uni was terrible, but that was expected really. Sometimes I wouldn't sleep for a couple of days, just watching films or playing FM and other times I would sleep nearly all day. One time I went to be at midnight, woke up at 6pm went to the pub had some dinner and back in bed at around 9-10pm. Oh those were the days ....

(Another) bloke I used to work with actually got woken up by his cravings and had to have a fag before he went back to sleep. :stunned:
 
Go to bed between 10 and 11, depending what I've been up to. Wake at 7am. Usually wake at least once in the night for a wee or one of the kids has woken. I hardly ever sleep right through
 
Alarm is on for 6:10, I try to get in bed by 11:15. Whenever I get 8+ hours I feel ****.
 
I used to be such a heavy sleeper and would sleep solid from the time my head hit the pillow till I awoke in the morning. These days i have noticed as I have got older I do not need as much sleep and now I will wake in the night where I didnt before. Interestingly, and this is according to my husband - I snore!
 
Only get unbroken sleep if I take tablets, otherwise I'm restless and keep waking every couple of hours. On average, I guess I get about 5 or 6 hours a night. Sleeping is not much better at the weekend, maybe 7 hours or so.

I used to do that when I was a forty a day man. Kidded myself I was getting up for a cuppa but always had a fag- usually about 3 in the morning.

Apple - try electronic cigs. Still get your nicotine shot but no harmful toxins and a lot lighter on the pocket.
 
When I used to smoke I used to dream about smoking and wake up thinking the duvet was on fire.

I am sad to say I often dream about my job writing software which is pretty frustrating because I spend 11 hours in front of four screens every day as it is.

It's like being stuck in Tron.

Perhaps I should get hold of some of OBLs tranqs.
 
Usually in bed by 10:30/11 and get up at 4:30 most mornings. Midnight to 6:00 at weekends.

Never been a heavy sleeper, only one life and all that; why spend more of it asleep than is necessary.

OMG I used to wake in the night for a fag, creep downstairs in the middle of the night - have my fix and return to bed completley relaxed
 
10.30-11 til 6am for me.

I also sometimes dream that I'm at work. Absolute agony when you wake up feeling like you've been at work...and then having to go to work.
 
Go to bed anywhere between 9 and 12 and up at 7,pee 2/3 times a night and sometimes surf the www for a hour or two and if not working will nick a 2/3 hour kip in the afternoon.
 
Like to be in bed by 11 but rarely am, alarm goes off at 6:10. Couple of snoozes before dragging myself out around 6:30.

However, the twins have just discovered how to get out of their cots, so that 6:10 wake-up may be brought forward soon...
