Poll: What's Your Bedtime?

[Komodo]

Anytime between 8pm and 3am. If I'm tired I go to bed,if not I stay up.

I spent WAY too many years going to bed at 9pm and getting up at 4:30am for work. Then latter, going to bed at 11pm, getting up at 6am to get the kiddies off to school.
Now it's MY TIME! I can go to bed whenever I want, and get up whenever I want. (usually around 7:30am no matter what time I went to bed)

Even after I no longer "needed" a bedtime, I maintained a routine of bed at 11 wake at 6 for the longest time. THEN CAME OSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With my untreated OSA, my "bedtime" was 24/7!

Before the summer of 2002, I went to bed at 10 - 10:30 PM, up around 6 AM.

I had an unexplained circadian rhythm change in the summer of 2002, and I am lucky to get to bed by 1 AM with Xanax. The dogs are my alarm clock. This time of year, they're sleeping to 7:30 AM but in summer, they're up 6 - 6:30 AM.

And I expect to get a lecture from my doctor again on the next visit.

Midnight is my target bed time. But I fought the clock for too dang many years during my working life time and I'm retired now so I've earned the right to go to bed when I dibblety-d*mn well please and to h*ll w/the clocks. I tossed watches and clocks and calendars away when I retired. Hubby keeps a clock or two around but for the most part I ignore them as best I can. I RESENT my life being ruled by some d*mn clock - especially one the government keeps messing w/twice a year.

Until April of 2001 I would go to bed at around 2015 to 2100 hrs. Every night.....Then I would get up at 0245 hrs. Leave my house and be at work by 0345 every morning. I was usually home by 1330 hrs. Some time I would sleep in my chair for a couple of hours every afternoon. never having a thought of OSA. (I remember sleeping in my truck somedays in the mornings) I was then off on LWOP at my job on base. I went back to work in April of 2002 I remember sitting at a desk and going to sleep for several hours while at work. (that's the advantages of working for the US Navy) Then I went out on disability in Feb 2004. I finally was in a doctors office and he diagnosed OSA just talking to me. He sent me for a sleep study and the rest is history.
Know I try to go to bed by 2330 hrs. every night but if I am not tired I don't go to bed until maybe 2345 to maybe 0115 hrs. depending if i am tired or not. I usually sleep 7.5 to 9 hrs. a night now.

I get off work around 7am and if I dont go right to bed, then my brain says "oh look, daylight lets go and do this and this and this" then I cant sleep. If I go right to bed around 730-8 I get up around 230-3. Then back to work to watch others sleep, wishing it was me..lol

"Before 900" is a wide spread. I head for bed at 730...lights out by 800.

I have a 40 min drive to work, then about 20 mins by bus (actually TWO buses...) from the parking lot to my work area. I have to be there by 0600. Alarm goes off at 0415.

8:30 pm and up at 5:30 am

You should add "no control over bedtime". Someone with little kids or a caretaker for a long term sick person may have little control over getting to bed at a regular time. I would PREFER to go to bed at 10-10:30 p.m. However, as caretaker for a disabled family member, I'm constantly woken up and/or interrupted until midnight. Other family members wake up at 5-5:30 am. and clomp on the floor (I have a basement living area) waking me up. Never ending battle...

Another "who cares" poll from 5 years ago awakens......

Bless our little Poll Newbe Hearts, we feel so much better now that we voted in another lame antique poll. We are proud to have shared our feeling, however useless they may have been. Jim

Sorry I couldn't resist the truth!

Could be that "Poll Newbe Hearts" have other things on their minds than to check dates. Anyway, no big deal, just don't comment and the thread will disappear faster. Also, could be that new people like reading old threads because they learn something.

[Goofproof]

That is incorrect, once exposed on the front page, we have a unlimited source of people seeking the good feeling of voting on Polls, and even worse given the idea to start their own worthless poll.

"Old Polls never die, Fool will always make more"

We also have a "Old Poll Troll", being up old Polls to the front page, just because they are allowed to do so. It used to be a weekend thing, but I guess they got fired and are no longer in the workforce, or they got approved for a phone and welfare check. If so welcome to the new majority, the 55% of the non-working majority of the U.S.A.

It would help if you were planing to break in and steal a XPAP unit. Jim
