When do you decide to call it a night?

If I’m having a lot of fun and I don’t have anything to do the next day, I stay out as late as possible. Pretty much until I feel like I’m about to pass out. I hate the idea of losing out on making great memories with friends. I think it’s the same reason I hate sleeping sometimes – I feel like I’m wasting my life. (I know it’s ridiculous, but I can’t help it.)

Usually when my husband yells “why aren’t you in bed yet?”

When my girlfriend falls asleep or tells me we should go to bed.

400 miles between us makes it kinda weird though, but I have difficulty sleeping sometimes if I know she’s not coming with or already sleeping. ¯\(o_°)/¯

For some reason I procrastinate sleep, and I am rarely tired. If I left it to my body to decide when to sleep, I’d be up until 7 am every night. I usually take a pill around 1 or 2 am (which is still too late). When I was “living with” my man, we’d be in the bed early :) I’m pretty sure that’s the best way to cal it a night.

When I’m bored. Could be 10pm, could be 2am, but either way it’s still a few hours before I’m genuinely tired.

My contacts usually dictate when I go to bed.
dry contacts whatever the time results in me going to sleep.

when i know that if i don’t go to bed know I’ll get less than 6 hours of sleep 5 if Im really really having fun. Sleep is a bit more important to me for medical reasons so that might make my deciding factor different than others.

Aaaa… I can’t keep my eyes open??? Yep! That’s when I know for sure!

@live_rose Less than 5 hours of sleep I know that I’ll be a zombie.

I just think about what time I have to be up in the morning. I’m a short sleeper, so I feel better on 4 or 5 hours sleep than I do on 7 or 8. I have to get up at 6:30 during the week, so I usually try to get to bed by 1:30 or 2.

When I am sleepy, and it doesn’t happen as soon as I wish. I am getting older, it should be happening sooner.

When my homework is done. Which isn’t early. lolz.

I like to get eight hours of sleep a night, so, seeing as my first class is at noon everyday, I try to call it a night at around two or three AM.
I love college

lurve everyone!

I go to bed around 4am, when I get my sleepy headache, and I wake up around 7am to help get the parents and little sister out of the house and started on their day. Then I go to sleep for 3–4 hours once they’ve all left.

I’m with @sccrowell. I go to sleep when I can’t keep my eyes open anymore. It is not at all rare for me to wake up with keyboard prints on my face, or drool on the pages of my book, or a DVD menu’s music playing over and over and over again.

@MacBean, Been there, Done exactly that!

@MacBean lol. I’m about to do the same

<insert Walton’s reference>

:D

When I start to give myself whiplash because I begin to nod off and then jerk awake.

I have trouble deciding when to call it a night when I’m out with friends, because I don’t want to miss anything. I’m always one of the last to leave, because I fear being left out of something crucial. As a child, I was the last to go to sleep at sleepovers, and I always made my friends promise to wake me as soon as they woke up. I’ve never gotten over it, but it’s a lot harder on the body now.

When I feel the sleepies coming on (whatever time that is). Sometimes I fight it, then get to a point to where I’m dragging my ass to bed. Brushing my teeth, washing my face and changing into my jimjams becomes work. I’d rather just flop on my bed and crash. (nothing like a good night’s sleep)

Lurve for “jimjams.” <3

At 35 I have learned that sleep is more important than having fun. There will always be time for more fun. But sleep is essential for the next day. At least for me.

Sleep is essential for me as well. I need it to function, or I’m a bitch the next day. I try to go to bed before 1am each night, and the time is usually what makes me decide to go to bed. I’m usually tired though.

Since I am a stay at home worker, I can sleep as late and as long as I want. When I notice that I fell asleep in the middle of an answer, or my Yahtzee game, or the book I am reading, I get up and shuffle into the bedroom and fall into bed.

I usually take my meds and change into my nightclothes around 2 am, since that’s when I first start feeling sleepy.

When I’m with a lover, I give them my attention which means no computer alone time.
When with friends, sometimes we play on the computer together and then knocking off becomes about physical stamina and having enough time to bathe and get to work on time.

Generally, when my meds kick in. My husband carried me to bed the other night. I was trying to do some work on a blanket. I never even realized I was in bed until I rolled over and there was my favorite person. (yes, my husband!)

I have sleep disorders, so i usually wait till I collapse. When I feel the blood drain from my face, I know it’s time.

When I can’t keep my eyes open any longer or when my wife tells me to come to bed with her. Sometimes I am able to put myself to bed when she doesn’t tell me and before I get overly tired. Not last night, though. I have these unhealthy tendencies. I get wrapped up in a problem or an activity, and I can’t bear to leave it. Sometimes I give myself permission to give in to my unhealthy instincts. Sometimes I don’t. It’s happening less and less often, though. My wife’s help is making a big difference and I’m glad she’s so committed to caring for me. I’m really lucky, too.

When I wake up in my chair at 3 or 4 a.m.!

When it’s even too late for the stripper to stay.

I can’t decide tonight.

tomorrow will be a long day.

I think of my real life and discard the fantasy of the moment. All that I really cherish is rarely in a late night, tempting as it might be to caress the freedom and continue it.

Whatever my body tells me.

Sometimes I’m in bed at 8:30, others midnight.

I don’t adhere to any strict criteria.

When I get sleepy, and find that I have started an answer and nodded off. I turn off my computer and go to bed.

When I finally fall asleep. That takes me a couple hours after I initially get into bed.

@wundayatta….That was a lovely compliment you paid to your wife! Very sweet. Good for you…to be so thoughtful.
