So I get up then, I'm out the door around 5, then in the shower by 6. I get my daughter up around 7 and we leave for daycare at 7:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2509048 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 07:03:12 +0000 winniebee 2509048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake whenever the toddler wakes up which is between 6-630. I WFH most days so I don't have to be up before him except maybe once a week. I shower at night though so try to get ready with him awake. The 4yo sleeps til 7ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2509035 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 06:32:04 +0000 SweetiePie 2509035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:30, but I SAH.<br /> My husband does the first hour of our sons wake time because he works and sometimes doesn't see him in the evening. So I sleep till 7:30 when he has to start getting ready for work. </p> <p>Every night except for illness I go to bed around 11, give or take a half hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2509033 Tue, 29 Mar 2016 06:28:50 +0000 ValentineMommy 2509033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first alarm goes off at 4:50am. Then another at 4:55am.</p> <p>I don't do drop off (my mom watches the boys at our house) though. Dh drives me to work, and I'm at my desk by 5:55am. I'm normally asleep by 11pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2508580 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 16:22:09 +0000 youboots 2508580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 10pm to 7:30.

Next year there will be no, no school days 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2508155 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 11:32:48 +0000 gingerbebe 2508155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On days DH does drop off, I'm usually in bed by 11pm and up at 7am. I shower the night before and lay out my clothes so I'm dressed and pouring coffee in a few minutes. I usually heat up DS' breakfast and let it cool on the counter and pack my lunch and am out the door by 730am and start work at 8am. DH will get DS up by 730am unless he's up earlier (in which case I see him for a few minutes and get him settled into breakfast before I leave). DH and DS have breakfast together and he's usually at daycare by 830am and DH starts working in his home office around 9am.</p> <p>On days I do drop off, I start work at 830am. I get up at 645am and get DS up at 7am. We eat breakfast and I am out the door hopefully by 730am, at daycare by 8am, and at work by 830am. </p> <p>Our daycare is 20 minutes from our house and another 20 minutes from my work, so that adds to the time. Obviously it's different if your daycare is closer or actually on the way to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2508147 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 11:22:19 +0000 Modern Daisy 2508147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the week I wake up at 6am and am in bed by 10pm.

I generally go to bed between 10-11pm.</p> <p>then morning routine is:<br /> 6:30a - wakeup, do makeup/hair (just quick run of straightener over weird spots - shower at night so I never have to blowdry)<br /> 7:05-7:15a - pack my breakfast and lunch<br /> 7:15/7:20-8a - drive to work (I eat breakfast in the car)</p> <p>DH does mornings entirely and on a good day, his schedule is:<br /> 6:30a - wakeup, shower/shave, get entirely ready except getting dressed<br /> 7a - DS generally wakes up so DH changes him, makes both of them breakfast, they eat, feed the dog, etc.<br /> 7:30a - get DS dressed, walk dog together<br /> 8a - DH gets dressed and preps to hand off to nanny or drop off at other house (nanny arrives around 8:15). he has a shorter commute so he's generally to work by 8:45 at the latest. on days when DS wakes up early, DH generally just lets him roam around our bedroom/bathroom while he showers, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2508008 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 09:39:11 +0000 Worrywart 2508008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Can you believe how fast our maternity leaves flew by?? I've been back a week so far. It was super hard leaving my baby boy to head back again. So far the mornings have been hectic, but we've all gotten out the door okay!</p> <p>I'm asleep by 830-9pm since DS is still waking 2-3x a night to feed. I've been showering at NIGHT which has helped. I also lay out everyone's clothes the night before, pack bottles, backpacks, etc. Mornings have looked like this:</p> <p>6:00 wake up, makeup, get myself dressed<br /> 6:30 DD usually gets up and strolls into our room. I get her dressed and ready for the day<br /> 6:45 DS is up. Nurse him and change him for the day<br /> 7:00-7:30 We all head downstairs. Feed DD breakfast, make coffee, put DS in the swing for a bit, finish packing up everything for the day.<br /> 7:30 DH loads up the car, drops me at the train, DD at pre-school and DS at daycare for the day.</p> <p>Wishing you luck this week!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507999 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 09:33:42 +0000 mrsjyw 2507999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go to bed around 11/midnight and up at 7/730 to nurse ds2, but we usually don't start the day until 8/830. </p> <p>Except for my office day when I get up at 630! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507978 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 09:24:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2507978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: jinx!

My best chance for getting a workout in is in the morning before the day gets shot to hell with work surprises and last-minute errands. Otherwise, after work, pickup, dinner, bath, and bed, I am just too tired. I will (squeeze a workout in at night) when I absolutely have to, but I much prefer to get it done in the morning even though I HATE waking up that early . . . but I am never sorry that I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507905 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 08:26:38 +0000 pwnstar 2507905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5:00 Wake (or just before 5, depending on the day)<br /> 5:00-6:30 Workout/ shower/ hair and makeup<br /> 6:40 Get LO up, dressed, fed, and ready for school<br /> 7:10 DH takes LO to school (Unless he's travelling)<br /> 7:15 Finish getting ready; Get dressed; Pack lunch (if not done already)<br /> 7:40 Leave for Work<br /> 8:00 Work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507903 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 08:25:56 +0000 snowjewelz 2507903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go to bed at 10 and we wake between 6-6:30 since that's when DD typically wakes. DH will get out of bed first and make her milk and then he goes and does his own stuff for a while. I change DD and go down with her to drink milk, play. Then DH preps and feeds her breakfast while I get ready for work. I'm usually out the door by 8:10-8:20. On the days DD has daycare DH drops her off at 9am. Otherwise he's either with her all day, or till my mom comes. </p> <p>I know I have it pretty good since DH's a constant help except for rare days when he needs to leave early for meetings and what not and then I'd just solo it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507898 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 08:23:52 +0000 petunia354 2507898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In bed by 9:30 and up at 5:15. I Solo in the mornings and we are out of the house by 7:20. I've been trying to wake up at 4:30 to squeeze a workout in but I have a mental block when it comes to anything before 5 :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507889 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 08:06:38 +0000 yin 2507889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In bed by midnight and wake up around 7. I SAH and need to get LO out the door for preschool by 8:30. My kids take forever to eat breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507887 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 08:04:07 +0000 farawayyama 2507887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up at 5.30, out the door at 6.10 (winter) or 6.30 (the rest). I don't usually do drop off, but if I do she eats there and it's on the way, so it's only 5 minutes extra.</p> <p>I have a very streamlined morning routine. Up, make protein shake for breakfast, turn kettle on, shower, brew tea, get dressed, add milk to tea, get DD up, 15 minutes cuddles and tea, fix hair (and once in a blue moon makeup - I teach and most of us don't bother). Out the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507872 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 07:45:11 +0000 bushelandapeck 2507872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up at 5:45 and out the door at 6:30, work at 7:30am. I'm in bed by 9-9:30pm always. We have a nanny so I don't need to get the kids out the door, but I do need to shower, dress, do my hair/makeup, get breakfast going for the kids, feed the dog, etc. I usually don't wash my hair on workdays to save a little time and I have my coffee and breakfast stuff prepped from the night before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507868 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 07:43:44 +0000 NavyRN2012 2507868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm up at 5:30 and have to be at work by 6:50. I don't have to do any type of drop off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-go-to-bed-and-wake-up#post-2507855 Mon, 28 Mar 2016 07:28:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 2507855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually in bed around 11:30. D wakes me up between 1-2, whenever G wakes up (he changes her and brings her to me). We co-sleep after that waking, so I'm only awake long enough to make sure she's latched on and then I fall back asleep. </p> <p>My alarm goes off at 5:30 so I can nurse. I stay in bed, and doze. I get out of bed by 6:30, get dressed, get E up and dressed. We're usually downstairs by 7, and out the door by 7:10. I leave G with my mom and drop E off at preschool at 7:25-7:30, and am at the office usually by 7:45 or 7:50. This morning I don't start until 8:30, but I need to be able to pump before I start work. Next month I start at 8, so I'll need to push everything back by about half an hour. </p> <p>E has a snack in the car (usually half a frozen waffle and applesauce pack), and proper breakfast at school, and I usually eat breakfast at my desk. I do as much prep as I can the night before...washing bottles, packing my bag, putting out clothes. I'm really low-maintenance...I shower at night and wear minimal to no makeup most days. </p>
