Sleep Routine

The topic is getting up and going to bed. Hear six different responses.


Marion, Ireland
speakerWell, usually on a work day, I get up at half past six in the morning because I start work at eight o'clock. On the weekends I usually have a lie in so I wake up at about 9 or 10, sometimes 11, depending on how tired I am. Usually I go to be quite late, which isn't very good but maybe about midnight, sometimes later. It depends. I find it difficult to go to sleep early.

Naomi, Australia
speakerWell, I'm a night owl so I usually don't go to bed until about 3 a.m. in the morning and these days I have class from first period every day so I have to get up by about 7:30 or 8 a.m.

Jeff, Canada
speakerWhat time do I get up and what time do I go to bed? I go to bed late and I try to get up early. I like to get up early but getting up is a difficult thing to do, so I try to go the bed early. I try to go to bed early, 11 o'clock, 11:30, before midnight, and I try to get up early, 6:30, 7, before 7:30, but it doesn't always work.

Barbara, Australia
speakerSo, what time do I usually get up? Well, I usually wake up, maybe 5 or 6 in the morning, but I don't get up straight away. I stay in bed for awhile and get used to the idea that the day is starting, maybe read a book or something, check my phone messages, and I get up at maybe 7:30, 8. If it's a day off, I get up at nine or ten, and in the evening I usually go to bed around 10, 11, sometimes 12.

Al, England
speakerI get up when I want, usually in case I am working, unless I'm working. If I'm working I get up about 9, and I go to bed when feel tired, so that's usually about 1 or 2 or 3 a.m.

Akane, Canada
speakerWhat time do you usually get up and what time do you usually go to bed? I usually get up in the morning about 6:30, but that's only because I have to go to work. If I had a choice I would sleep in because I really hate mornings. I try to go to bed at around 10 p.m. so that I can get enough rest that I can get up in the morning for work, but I'd really rather stay up late, because I'm night person.
