Do You Stay Up Later on the Weekends?

Before I got married I would stay up until all hours on the weekends. Either because I would be out with friends or just at home watching television. So of course I could sleep late the next day too. Now that I'm married with children I find that I can't stay up late anymore, even on the weekends. I'm just too tired. Plus the kids get up early no matter what the day is. I go to bed between 10 - 11pm every night, even on the weekends. Do you stay up later on the weekends?

I guess I never pay attention to what time I go to bed. It don't matter if it is the weekend or a weekday. I go to bed when I am tired. My bf works third shift so a lot of the times I will stay awake till he leaves for work and then I will go to bed.

weekends - I love weekends as I can have a good rest and enjoy doing what I like.
Hello Shar. I usually stay up late on weekends because I know that I can sleep more and get up late the next day. I love to spend weekends, so relaxing and enjoyable. If every day were weekend, how nice it would be. LOL

Hey, Yep! I tend to go to bed on the weekends really really late. For example last night I went to bed at 2 AM in the morning. Partly because I was busy posting here on MyLot! But when it isn't holidays I normally stay up until about 10 PM! Happy Lotting!

Yes, this is the only time that I can spend hours talking to my wife on bed while watching late night shows on TV. Sometimes, we play games online with our laptop and she post in her myLot too. We are working together in the same company but it is very important to maintain our professionalism in the office so when I get a chance to be with her alone, I stay awake with her watching TV.

during my school years (junior years at least) i would sleep at like 10-11 during weekdays and then stay up during my weekends like just an hour later. now that i am in university, i stay up to like 2-4 each night, either because im completing an assessment, or i just got too used to staying up late, that i cannot sleep until certain times. (Which i know is not very good)

I'm a student now, so I have many things to do. Everyday, I should get up at 8 AM so that I can finish my homework. Because of it, I should shleep enough to continue to work.

I am somewhat like you and go to bed around 10 or 11pm on nights that I don't work. I find that I am very exhausted by the end of the evening when even 9pm comes along. I have a son as well. I work a lot of nightshifts and do stretches of them. Next week I have 7 in a row to do starting Monday so my sleeping pattern is going to be really messed up by the time next Sunday arrives. I just finished a small stretch of two nightshifts lastnight so tonight I'm up a bit later because I"m not tired yet. well... sort of starting to get tired and it's 1230am now. I find that once I get sleeping normally, it gets mixed up from nightshift. I got offered a full time position at work today so now that it will be as normal as it can be, I'll get use to nightshifts for a long time. Have a great night

I love staying up late at the weekends! I love to take in a late movie or something similar, pure escapism on my part! It's hard when you have kids I guess, lots of responsibility. I live on my lonesome and I'm kind of happy like this. I do what I want when I want and I don't hurt anyone. Andrew

You got me beat, up until about a year ago we were always out and about at concerts or parties staying up late. Now money is tight and we usually home on weekends. I end up going to bed at about 8pm, mostly out of boredom. I can only sit around for so long.

Well, it all depends on how tired I'm. I usely stay up late on the weekends. I might doze off and wake back to watch something on tv or to get on the computer for a while. During the weekdays I work so I try to go to bed early so that I can get my rest.Sometimes I turn in at 11:30pm after the news has gone off.

I'm not a full time mom and I'm studying.I stay up late every night coz I want to be sure that my baby is sleeping comfortably and deeply. I stay up late most of the time during weekends because I also want to find time to relax having my movie marathon while my baby is asleep.

Hi shar I think married life has changed your sleeping habit to better. Because by sleeping very late in the night and getting up very late in the next day morning,you only ruin your health.And the next day,you become very lazy. You can be thankful to your children for not allowing you to get up late. I do sleep everyday by 11 pm and get up by 6 am. Early to bed and early to rise makes the man healthy and wise. Don't you want to be healthy? So sleep in time and be happy and healthy.

Well, I am happy to say I am a retired grandma. My grandson knows he can come in my room any time of the day or night if he feels a need to. I stay up as late as I like. Some nights I can't sleep but I have no responsibilities outside of the home so I don't worry about it once. I used to have days off during the week sometimes when I was working and I loved to stay up after everyone else had gone to sleep. I like this anyway cause I can get alot of work done with the world is quiet.

No i do not stay up later on the weekends because once the routine is set,sleep comes automatically.My son is 11 months old and after doing houselhold chores and attending to him ,i feel very tired by the time it is 10.00 pm.So we generally go to bed at around 10.30 pm and follow same routine on weekends too.Weekends are no exception.
