Do you have a time before which you almost never ever fall asleep?
For me, that time is 1 am... if I'm trying to sleep early, I may try to crash around 11 pm. I do get sleepy when I put Charlie down, but I almost always get a second wind after that alas.
What's your magic sleepy time after which you usually fall asleep?

My bedtime is 9pm. By that time, I am worn out and can instantly fall asleep.

I have no magic sleepy time. 
I just go and go and go until eventually, I drop. Depending on how much energy I spent that day, it can range from 8PM to 5 AM.

I used to be midnight/ one am- now that I am only 4 weeks away from the arrival of my LO - I am in bed by 945 and almost always asleep by 10!!

11, I keep trying earlier and it doesn't work! Sad because Sunny is up at 6:30 and that's not quite enough sleep.

I try and go to bed around 10 when I have work the next day. Doesn't seem to happen unless DH is traveling, usually 1030 or 1100, 1100 is my limit though. The alarm goes off to early!

11ish for me. Starting a new morning routine tomorrow that begins at 5:30am so we'll see how that affects my bedtime over time.

@mrbee: Same as you! After 11ish if we head up to bed I'll be up tossing & turning or reading things on my phone until right about 1.

I'm tired around 7 PM but stay up a couple hours after the baby goes down. I would say 9 PM is the earliest I can go to sleep.

@mrbee: almost the same! If I try to go to bed before midnight I usually lay in bed awake longer than if I'd just waited a little while. I'm usually asleep by 12am.
If I go to bed before 12 I usually have to take an ibuprofen pm, lots of sleepy time tea or calms forte sleep tablets.
Hopefully now that I'll be working part time I can go to bed earlier... Hope so cause I'll be having to get up by 6am.

About the same as you. Trying to go to bed earlier just gets my brain working even harder so it takes me even longer to fall asleep.

9pm but I've been trying to sleep at 10pm instead since I seem to get more restful sleep going down at 10 instead of 9. So weird!

I almost never fall asleep before 8pm. Anytime after that is fair game. I love sleep. Getting up at 5am helps that, as well...

Anything after 9PM (although usually get to bed no earlier than 10) since we get up at 5AM and I'm still doing at least 1 nighttime feeding with DS.

11pm - if I am up past 11 then the second wind kickis in and its about 1/2am but that doesn't happen much anymore with a LO!

9 - but I can fall asleep before then if I'm really tired. Generally I go to bed at 10 though. Up around 5 every day!

9 is super easy for me to fall asleep, then I'm ruined for the night. 11 is perfect, but a small window to make it work. 1 is when I've been falling asleep lately. C always has a 12:30 wake-up, so I usually wait until that's over to go to bed. It works perfectly right now since I'm working from home, I work from his bedtime until his midnight wake-up then go to bed.

Omg I must be super lame- I am in bed by 830/9 every night lol. I am someone who needs my sleep tho! And I never know how LO will sleep at night, so I go to bed early to be on the safe side

I have to stay up until 9 to pump, but if I didn't I would go to bed at 830.

8:30ish. But I have to stay awake to dreamfeed at 10.
Really, I could pretty much fall asleep anytime, anywhere these days. *Lays head on desk*
