Early to bed is the way to go.

Early to be, early to rise, make Johnny healthy, wealthy and wise.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I agree. My usual bedtime is 8 PM, and getting up time is 5 AM.

 

[LoveTulips]

Our bedtime is about 2:30 am to 3:00 am and we get up about 11:30 am or noon. Late to bed and late to rise make hubby and I happy guys.

My son goes to bed early during the week because he has to be up by 3 a.m. Sometimes he goes to bed as early as 7:30. Me...I'm a different story. I fall asleep whenever, often soon after I eat. I'm also up in the middle of the night, usually before he gets up. Seems like for the last year or so, much of my sleep comes in the form of naps. Supposedly that's not good for [my] health.

Weekdays means 5:30 alarm and play date weekends can be earlier.

I understand that we need less sleep as we age.
Also, that it is healthier to wake naturally than by alarm.
I go to bed when I'm sleepy, but I don't think that is good for us, better maybe to keep to a routine. My fav when I can handle it is Ben Franklin's routine:
I rise at 6
From 6 to 9: prepare for the day
From 9 to 1: work
From 1 to 2: rest
From 2 to 6: work
From 6 to 10: engage in evening activities as visiting, entertaining, leisurely reading and writing, walks and so forth
From 10 to 6: rest

They used to say:

Early to bed
and early to rise.
While your girl goes out
with other guys.

 

[Rae]

I go to bed around 10:00 and rise about 6:00. If I stay up later, I fall asleep in my chair.

I don't think Ben had quite the coffee habit we have to day.

I rise at 5
from 5 to 6 drink coffee
From 6 to 9 do my whole days work on the coffee "energy"
From 9 to 4 loaf
From 4 to 6 cook, eat, and wash dishes
From 6 to 8 try to stay awake
From 8 to 5 sleep

 

[That Lady in PA]

I get up around 7:30 am.
I have never been a morning person

 

[Who_so_ever]

I might lay down in bed anywhere from 7pm to 9pm. I almost always read a bit once there, so falling asleep at different times, but somewhere in that 2 hour window.

I wake between 3 & 5am.
