Odd... me and the wife are the opposite way round. I'm up all night and she's tired and ready for bed early.

Mind you... I think we're both pretty crap in the mornings

I love my bed and need plenty sleep otherwise i'm a total grump!!
I tend to stay up really late and would be happy to stay in bed until 8-9am, but always have to get up much earlier than that.

I agree with Purple Dragon, I'm ready for bed at 10 but can achieve loads first thing. (I don't talk though, I just get things done quietly.)

I love to sleep with the velux blind open, even in the summer. I find I wake up feeling more refreshed with natural daylight in the room. I like the windows open too, I'm a bit of a fresh air fiend.
Does anyone else find that a darkened room leaves them feeling sluggish and groggy when they wake?

Left to my own devices I don't think I would ever draw the curtains. I suppose that I'm lucky in living in a house that isn't overlooked.

Best ever sleep of my life (that I remember) was at my grandparents. Was there on my own with them and went to bed around midnight/1am. Never closed the curtains there either (not overlooked by anyone, plus it was a 1st floor bedroom). Woke up in the morning with the sun shining in the window. Was *so* refreshed. Went downstairs to find it was only about 4.30am or something. Beat my granny up (she got up at about 5am every day of her life... mind you she was normally in it by 9-9.30pm

) gave her a bit of a shock when she seen me up

Rarely ever get a sleep even half as good as that nowadays.

I'm very lucky in having the ability to sleep anywhere. In another life when i worked in an office I used to lie down behind the desk and sleep for exactly 45mins. And I can always sleep in airports, and haven't missed a flight yet.

My sleep patterns have changed over time, though. BC (before children) if I didn't have to get up for work, I'd retire around 1am and rise around 9.30. Having never woken. So babies were a shock

And now I can both go to bed and get up earlier. Ideally need at least 8 hours though.

By far the worst thing about being a new parent for me was the early sleep deprivation torture

I'd go to bed earlier if now I didn't sit up with the laptop...
