    This week has been emotionally exhausting BUT I’m ready to take on this Friday and work with Ss. Every minute counts and we don’t have much time left. #BFC530
    In reply to @kathyiwanicki
  • TCMSPrincipal May 25 @ 5:32 AM EDT
    Depends on whether there is a night event. Between 6-6.5. Alarm goes off at 4:30 so I can go for a walk (my achy knees prevent a run) & have coffee ready for #BFC530!
  • kathyiwanicki May 25 @ 5:32 AM EDT
    I usually fall asleep around 9:30; alarm is set for 5..but I rarely sleep all those hours. I either get up early (like 4) or am up at some point in the night #thestruggleisreal #bfc530
  • ESL_fairy May 25 @ 5:32 AM EDT
    9pm I try to be in bed, doing some guided meditations for about 30 min. 5am is wake up, as long as certain small animals or humans don’t decide that 4am is a better time! #bfc530

    Happy Friday of Memorial Day Weekend! Susan from the Jersey Shore reminding you to #remember all who fought for us! I head to bed at 8:30 to read, and usually my eyelids win out around 9:30. Up at 5am to visit with you fine folks. #bfc530
  • MrTravisDrake May 25 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    Bedtime is around 9:30ish and the alarm goes off at 4:38. This gets me showered, dressed, and breakfast by #bfc530 time. Try to walk out the door at 5:50 to arrive at the Ghost Town before 6:00.
  • mfinnCBEcoach May 25 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    This q made me 😂. Does this include the nap I take after work, concussed on the couch? 9:00 bedtime except #waledchat thurs. 5:00 wake up. #bfc530

  • jbrownellfirsts May 25 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    Not enough is what I keep hearing. Generally, I fall asleep while putting my youngest to bed and wake up around 2 or 3. This is why I can pop into this chat. It’s 4:30 my time! #bfc530
  • ESL_fairy May 25 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    I work hard to keep it consistent on weekdays as well as weekends. Sleep hygiene is so important. Even a shift of an hour can be detrimental to my sleep cycle. #bfc530

    We try to go to sleep about 10pm and the alarm is set for 5:15am. I usually hit 1 snooze cycle. So about 7 hrs sleep? #bfc530
  • VtheLearner May 25 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    Sleep 8 hours. School nights usually mean 9. Up at 5, usually before the alarm clock. It really depends though. #bfc530
  • kathyiwanicki May 25 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    Any little thing can wake me up or keep me up.. last night was some animal out in the woods; been up since 3:45 #bfc530
  • lethajhenry May 25 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    Good morning #bfc530- I'm usually in bed by 8-8:30 and up by 4:30. No alarm- and summer is usually the same schedule no matter how hard I try to sleep in.
  • CoachKCullen May 25 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    Ben Franklin was right. Bed around 9, up around 4 makes healthy & wise ( I'm a teacher, so not wealthy) #bfc530
  • DebbiSab May 25 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    Morning #bfc530 I go to bed between 10 & 11 and the alarm is set for 4:45. But sometimes I hit snooze:)

    I am for 6. Go to bed around 11, alarm goes off at 5ish on most days. #bfc530

  • aoakes4 May 25 @ 5:35 AM EDT
    Good morning, all. #bfc530 Abner from the DC area. Up at 4:50 each morning. Get about 7-8 hours per night - unless it is a hockey playing night, when it can be just four or five. Yes, that makes the next day very hard.

  • bhall_acs May 25 @ 5:35 AM EDT
    5-6 hours of sleep. Alarm is set for 5:00AM, but it’s a backup. Usually awake before it goes off. Wouldn’t give up my quiet morning coffee time with @MrStevenHall for the world! Even on weekends or when our schedules are different. This is our time to connect each day. #bfc530

    Hello #bfc530 friends! It's been awhile. I have not been around this chat much this year because I've been making myself sleep past 430a CT. Like they say, getting more sleep adds longevity. I continue to be inspired by your posts though!

  • kmichellehowell May 25 @ 5:38 AM EDT
    As far as sleep, I average around 7 hours a night on school days. On the weekend I get a little more, plus I try to take at least one nap. Naps are important. Seriously! #bfc530

    As a principal for many years, my sleep was dependent on how many things I had on my mind. Would wake earlier & head to the building. I have left my house and 3am to work and I live an hour away. I used to get so much done. If I wasn’t in the bldg by 6:30am staff worried. #bfc530

    Morning, #bfc530. My sleep number is typically 6-7 hours. If bedtime clock starts w/a 10, I'm in decent shape. Earlier=bonus; later =trouble. A.M. alarm sounds at 5:11 when much slower motion version of this ensues:
