What time do you go to bed? Do you get any "me" time before turning in at night?”

  • How do you guys stay up so late??? I am out by 9pm most nights. But I have always needed a lot of sleep and still feel like I'm recovering from the sleep deprivation (my daughter is 18 months--and she also gets me up very early, 5 am usually).

  • I shoot to be in bed between 10:00 - 11:00 p.m. I'm a reader, so always have at least 15 minutes of me time to read after girls are in bed. Of course, I pay the price if I stay up reading too late. My 9 month-old still wakes up twice a night!

  • Usually 10:30-11:00. I am up at 5:00, so I have to get everything done the night before. I consider my "me" time the 2 hours I spend with my daughter before my husband gets home-girl time!

  • I usually hit the sack around midnight, sometimes later if I have a lot to do. My kids go to bed at 7 and I start working after that (I`m a freelance writer).

  • pretty m uch the same as everyone else! i aim to be in bed by 10pm but depends on how the evening goes :) hubby is a night owl so soemtimes i get sucked in and stay up until 11 or later. however, i do like having the time to read or meditate or watch tv before he comes to bed. i never realized how much i run through my day and to do list for the future before i go to bed until i got married!

  • I try to be in bed by 9:30, 10pm the latest. It has changed over time since my little one transitioned between being an infant to a toddler. She falls sleep around 8pm and I 10pm. Fastest two hours of the day!

  • I try to be in bed by 10:00 and then read for around 30 minutes. This is the best 30 minutes of my awake hours. Just for me.

  • 9:30-10 usually. Me time consists of plopping on the couch after everyone is in bed at 9pm and enjoying a little mindless tv.
