So are u a night owl or a early bird? SURELy im not the only one who is just death warmed up in the mornings? :o

I voted for both 'i'm a night owl and i get up late' and 'I'm a night owl but I cope without sleep'.

Most of the time, I get up late. I'm lucky that DS is a late sleeper some times. Example - we've only been up for 15 mins today, but some days we don't get up until 10am. Last night I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned and finally at around 5am I dropped off to sleep. Now, I may have a nap when DS does today, depending on how I'm feeling, or I may just do it all again tonight.

My problem is that I can't sleep very well at night. I have no idea why, I just sleep better during the day. Most nights, if I do actually get to sleep early, I wake all through the night so it's not really a restful sleep. But during the day, I can sleep for long solid blocks of time and I actually DO feel rested.

Ok I think maybe I do need some more sleep because I'm rambling so much

I voted other.

I love the nights, but I can't sleep in (for obvious reasons) and I don't cope with no sleep... so usually i PLAN to go to bed early... then end up staying late, then get cranky coz I'm overtired and crash out when the boys have a nap. :rolleyes:

We'll work on it. DH is getting up with the boys every day now... (coz I'm PG and he thinks I need to sleep more :thumbsup: ) maybe I should just stay constantly PG!!

I am a night owl, but can cope without the sleep! (Most days anyways!).

[Lozie]

i go to bed early say about 9pm usually and get up late about 8am (which is late in my house just ask Dh up at the crack of dawn every morning), so do the boys they have inherited my sleeping patterns, dh goes to bed late about 1am and gets up early 5am maybe 6am on weekends.

[Milliner]

I go to bed around 10:30pm and get up at around 7.30-8am, I wish I could sleep in. I love sleep!!!

[jess_live_die]

i like to go to bed early and get up late lol but not snice ive had kids now its to bed later and get up early i want more sleep ins

[Angelmist♥]

Definitely a night owl.Most of the time I can cope without sleep but if there's an option, I'll take the sleep-in!

[~Emmylou~]

Used to be a nightowl, now I'm an early bird.

DS wakes up at about 5.30am and there's no point going back to sleep after his feed since DD is up at 6ish.

[ButterflyMama]

I'm an early bird. The minute I'm up I'm ready to go and the earlier the better!

[Ana Gram]

Night owl that goes without sleep. I'm usually in bed by about 2AM on a good day. Takes me an hour to fall asleep sometimes. DD is up at around 7AM ish. It means not a lot of sleep for me.

[~rambox~]

I am both. I go to bed between 10.30 and 11.30pm

and i am up at 6am

[nickalex]

I go to bed between 9.30 and 10.30 it depends on the tv guide and what time it is before the kids are settled:o . My alarm is set for 5am I have to get up then if I want to be at the gym by 6am. I have to wake Nic up and give him a dreamfeed or else he wakes up just as I leave and is inconsolable until I get home:crying:. On weekends I would like to sleep in but the older kids are up by 6am.

[SassyMummy]

We got to bed late (usually 2am-ish) and get up late (10-11am). DD included - she goes to bed late (not as late as I do mind you), and gets up late as well. She's just always been that way - because I've always been that way.

I am definitely a night owl ..... I am a terrible morning person but I could stay up all night.

Think that might have to change soon :p

I am still working over 40hrs a week and the very earliest I get to bed is 10:30.

[studyingECS]

i recently have gotten myself into a bad routine..i started going to bed about 12 on school nights whichis very bad because i am not a morning person at all. on school days i get up at 8:15 sometimes 8:30 schools starts at 8:45 but i only live down the street..so i guess i make up for it

you could say it is organized kaos when i wake up

[Myztik]

what's this sleep you mention?

I'm a nightowl and cope without sleep..

[Samaras Mummy]

I am a night person, But i need my sleep.

[MummyCharmzy]

I go to bed around 12-1am and get up at 7am... I love sleepins but they never happen and I like staying up late more than I like having more sleep...

Wow, this is my exact routine!

My dad worked nights so even as little kids we would go to bed late (11ish) and get back up at 1 or 2am to see him and have supper together. I never sleep more than 4 or 5hours and cope fine. When I do sleep though it's the sleep of the dead :sleeping: and about once every 2 months I need a massive sleep in.

[kiah]

I'm an early bird. I like to get up at 5 and get everything done so i can relax all day.

But weekends I'm a night owl. I stay up late with hub.

It doesn't bother me too much how much sleep i get most of the time as long as it's about 6 hrs a night, anymore is a bonus. :thumbsup:

[TheEmpress]

I'm a night owl .
Sleep around 1-2am wake up around 6-7am .
Weekends I'll usually stay up a bit later .
Before having my DD I loved staying up til the sun came up- that time of day is so beautiful !

[BubbaNoogie]

Other-In an ideal world (pre-children) I would like to go to bed early (about 10pm) and get up late (about 10am) and not be woken up in that entire 12 hours!! A girl can dream cant she :D . I lurve my sleep and miss it a lot!! (I hope your listening Amaris:devil6: :rolleyes: )

[BlessedWithBlue]

I'm a night owl i'm not usually in bed until around 1-2am and then the boys wake up for their bottle around 5am. Oldest ds is usually up at 8am and second ds is still in bed right now and it's 11.30am lol (my kinda kid) I cope without sleep cause i don't have a choice but dh always lets me sleep in on the weekends!! DH is always in bed by 11pm and he gets up at 5.30am. When it's just me and ds2 we don't get up til late, the babies have their bottles and me and ds2 snuggle up my bed and gget some more sleep but ds1 always wants to go play downstairs lol so we're usually up around 8.30ish which isn't too bad.

[mumofcaleb]

We ALWAYS go to bed after midnight and I ALWAYS get up at 7am when DS wakes.....DP ALWAYS sleeps-in unless he is going to the gym :mad:
