opinion on an adult "bed time"

Wait, there are regular, functioning adults on SW? 🧐

I need a lot of sleep to function well. I usually go to bed around 8:30pm

@HellsBelle 🤔i go to bed around midnight or a little later and do not get up before ten oclock i am retired early at sixty but i feel re freshed ready for what ever the day brings

I have a weird work schedule because I work with people in other countries. So I go to bed around 1 or 2. I need about 10 hours of sleep, but can function off seven without too much of a slow down. I'm 24.

in my opinion... Sleep at 9pm and aim for 10 hours always. Anything less you get is just bonus time to have a bath and a relaxing morning. That's assuming a 9-5 job. You can go for 11pm on the weekends too.

Edit, I don't know how any of you people can operate with less then 8 hours. I would pass out from 7.5 hours.

4 to 6 hrs a day ... 63

I think regular functioning adults should probably be in bed by about 10 pm at the latest. I aim to get at least 4, lucky to get that much these days. about 7 hours is a perfect rest time for me personally.I'm 38

Whenever they have to to get adequate sleep to be able to work or function well the next day. I prefer 7 hours. My schedule just changed. More hours on days than nights. I like this day mode much better.

In bed between 9 and 9:30, read until 10 or 11, fall asleep, and wake up between 4 and 6 in the morning. I average 6 hours a night, but I am a pro napper and usually catch an hour in the early afternoon.

When I was at work I aimed to go to bed at 1 am. I ran a large faculty and worked sixty hours a week. I had six hours sleep a day. I’m a hundred and fifty years old.

At Uni I learnt to live on five and a half.

I'm 50, and I go to bed between 10 and 10:30 and wake up at 7 am. I aim for at least 8 hours.

No matter how much I sleep I always wake up feeling tired. It's just always been that way for me.

Depends on my workload and the time zone for the projects I’m working on. I try to be in bed by 9:30 PM and up by 4:30. But if I’m really busy I’ll be in bed by 8:00 PM and get up at 1AM.

I try and be in bed by 11 knowing i have to be up and about by 6 at the latest during the week.

But my average is about 4-5 hours on any given night

Might be due to sleep apnea, but I don't feel so good if I don't get about 9 hours

I try to sleep around 10-12 and usually wake up around 8-10

7 in summer, 8 in winter.
I'm 31.
A reasonable time to go to bed for me is the midnight and getting up around 8 AM.

The best thing about being an adult is that I don’t need a specific bedtime.

My sleep cycle is typically 6.5 hours. I am in bed by 6:30am since I work nights and up at 1:00pm

As an adult I don’t really aim for a sleep length rather an early wake up time.

i personally average 6-10 hours of sleep, more often down to the 6 end

I’m 64 and average 5-6 hours of sleep a day

8 hours is rested and great for functioning

I barely sleep 4 straight hours

I hours usually asleep at 10

I feel good after sleeping over 8 hours

I wish I could get that much, I usually get 5 hours of sleep.

I try for 7 hours of sleep per night, but some nights I only get 4 or 5. Last night was a 5 hour night. I would love to go back to sleep, but my eyes just won't close. 😢
