Here I am at midnight still surfing! I work at home and do a lot of work in the late evening (can't you tell how hard I'm working?). I know I should probably go to bed earlier, but this is productive kid-free time! Now, dd2 JUST starting sleeping through the night (well, half way through), so I feel more rested. That's helped a lot.

Also, with two, there's no more napping!

What about the rest of you?

I go to bed early. I'm normally asleep by 9.30pm at the latest. Samuel still nurses 2-3 times during the night so I'm exhausted.

I eek by on very little sleep. I rarely go to bed earlier than midnight (usually more like 1 or 2) but that's mostly because we just can't get the kids to sleep early!! We've tried everything. Plus Shaylee gets up to nurse still a few times at night and Ethan often does once a night so I'm pretty durn tired. No naps here either (well, the kids do, but very rarely at the same time).

Caroline still naps, and I go to bed in the 11-11:30pm range.

I TRY to get in bed by 10:00 and then read for a half hour to an hour. Sometimes I get sidetracked, though, and end up not going to bed till 11:30-12:00 and then I am dragging butt in the morning, because I have to get up at 6.

I'm an early to bed, early to rise kind of person. I am usually in bed by 10 or 10:30 (depends on whether I watch the evening news) and am up by 6am. I like that quiet time in the mornings before the girls are up. :)

My 6, all 3 kids are usually up :lol: Trade houses for a week? :lol:

Chris likes that quiet time, too, and that is why he gets up at 5:15 :faint: to have that extra 15 -20 minutes to himself before the twins wake up.

Sheesh, if I wanted quiet time before the boys were up, I'd just about have to get up at 4:30am! :faint: Actually, they've been "sleeping in" until a little after 6 lately, so that's nice. :awink: Because I birthed a couple of roosters (and Gavin is still waking once or twice at night to eat), I go to bed pretty early. I'm usually in bed sometime between 9 - 10 pm. Hardly ever later than 10.

I go to bed between 10 and 11:30pm. It's a wide range, but it depends on how the day went, and whether Josh is tired or not- we always go to bed together.

Yeah, but your kids are in bed by like 6:30-7 too. :lol: Mine aren't until 8:30 or 9. So I guess it's all the same. :)

I fortunately have not been having many sleep issues (with myself) lately. I go to bed at 10PM and get up at 7AM - uninterrupted. DS will sleep through the night from 7PM to 7AM and takes one nap a day.
I was having bad insomnia where I would go to bed at 10PM and wake up at 2AM and be up for the day. While I enjoyed my quiet time - I was just so tired, but I just could not sleep - thank goodness I can now!

I'm usually in bed by 10 at the latest. Most of the time I'm asleep by 9:30 or so. Katie still takes a nap during the day and sleeps from 7:15/30 until 6:30/7a.m.

My kids are both (age 9 1/2 and 3) in bed by 8:30. DH and I go to bed together between 11 and 12. I am up around 7am every day and the kids are up at 7:30 on school days and 8 on weekends. Alyssa still naps from 1-4:30 every single day. (I LOVE IT) DH gets up around 8 every day. IT works for us!

I try to be in bed by 10:30 at the latest, except Sundays it's 11 after our shows. The girls are in bed by 8pm most nights, 8:30 on the days D works, and they generally sleep tiil 7:30am. Molly's had a cold and has been waking at 5am the last several days, which is killing me.

Generally, I like to be up by 6:30/7am so I can get my shower and breakfast in before they wake up. If I have a lot of homework, I get up at 5:30 or 6 to get that study time in.

These days it seems to be early since the move and packing, unpacking, doing things around the house, 2 kids, etc. So I'm really beat and I've been going to bed lately around 9:30 (or right after the time Angelina goes to bed so I can get in a few hrs. before she wakes up for a feed). Usually though we go to bed around 11-ish though. We always go to bed together.

As I sit here typing this I realize it's after 4 am and I haven't gone to bed yet! That's because we went to a wedding tonight....got back late. I didn't bother going to bed cuz I knew Angelina would wake up for a feed. I fed her and I'm about to log off...I just wanted to catch up on here for a bit. :)

Weeknights I'm usually in bed around 11:30pm. On the nights I work, I don't get home til 10:30, so I'm usually wound up and don't go to bed til after midnight.

Sabrina usually gets up around 7, and Avery 8.

Both girls nap. Avery takes an afternoon nap, and Sabrina, well, she naps when she feels like it. She's never been a super napper. :(
