What is the latest a grown man should sleep in?

[DirtyDawg69]

I tried to do a poll but I'm not computer Davy.

I'm old school. I believe that no grown man (over 26) should ever be asleep past 8am. My dad would wake me and my brother up as kids if we were still in bed at 9am. He thought it was ridiculous for people to waste time sleeping all day.

My body wakes up 7 days a week at 6am no matter what with no alarm clock. I couldn't sleep in if I wanted to.

But I must admit I do like a good afternoon nap.

When I was a teenager, I could sleep in with the best of them. I remember once sleeping to something like 2:00 in the afternoon. But, like so many other things in life, age took care of that. It's the rare exception when I can stay in bed until 8:00 a.m. now

I can’t go past 7am. Even if I go to bed really late. I have become my dad. Funny how that happens

Depends. How late do you go to bed? For a long time I left for work at 4:45. So my body would never let me sleep past 6. Now, I work from home and don’t wake up as early. But I go to bed later, so it’s a wash. I also haven’t taken a nap in 10+ years because I believe it is wasting useful time. So, I would say just let a man sleep because with all we have to do to provide for and take care of our households we aren’t ever going to get enough anyway.

When I was a kid, my dad would probably have said 8. But as he has gotten older he sleeps in until 9-9:30 regularly.

 

[ghostofcrowell]

An adult male doesn’t take naps or sleep past 7. My 2.5 year old slept until 6am this morning and I felt like I slept in.

I understand a nightshift job changes everything.
It doesn't matter my bed time. I'm wide awake at 6am.
My wife and I left Friday at noon to drive to Chicago to pick my son up at school. We got home at 10pm last night. I slept 4 hours during that entire trip. And I was exhausted when I went to bed last night at 12:30.
At 6am this morning I was wide awake. Hell I wish I could still be asleep!

 

[DirtyDawg69]

What is hilarious about this thread is all the "bums" that read it won't answer until noon because they are still in bed! And we will know who they are (but I will never judge!) Hahaha
I just want to yell "get your ass up @DonutDawg!!!!"

If one continues to not get a good nights sleep, he/she is at increased risk of developing dementia in later years.

LOL! Yep.

Wtf?????????? How am I going to sleep now with that pressure?

Reported!

 

[Lurk Russell]

I am up at 5:30 every morning. It’s a curse.

 

[DirtyDawg69]

I remember when I was 16 I spent the night a friend's house from high-school. I woke up on Sunday morning at about 8am. I went down stairs and watched TV. Everyone in the entire house slept until 11:30.
I was so freaked out. I thought that was illegal in this country. It really blew my mind as a young man. I started thinking they were dead or something.

I was never much of a sleeper. I never slept later than sunrise as a kid. In HS I had to open up the store at 6am on Saturdays and some Sunday’s. My first two years in college, I was working two jobs and going to school and I’m guessing in those two years got more than 5 hours of sleep a handful of times.

Now into my 40s, I still get up at 5am (even today on day one of vacation) everyday but I do try to be in bed around 10pm. I know some of us can and do function on low and less sleep but it’s really not good for both short and long term health.

Ny answer to this question is…wake up whatever time allows you to successfully complete the tasks of the day.

My daughter inherited her early birdness from me. She will be spending the night with friends and start texting me around 7am because she is bored waiting for everyone else to wake up.

I had a few friend growing up that did the same. I also had a few friends whose dads would wake us up at 7-8am and either put us to work or go fishing….we chose fishing.

 

[annah_c]

I can’t sleep much past 630a even if I want to. And I try to every now and then.
I certainly don’t care to define what a “grown man” needs to do. What a waste of time.

Here is the only good part of it for me. My wife and teenage kids sleep until 10:30 on weekends and vacations (I wake them up after that because it starts pissing me off. I don't know why).
But those first 4 hours alone with my coffee are the best part of the day! It's quiet and awesome!

 

[LochDawg]

I wake as the sun rises typically,
or a bit before. Winter months it’ll be dark still. Small children are additional factors to when and why I get up.

Vacation or overnight time, without kids will modify it to a later sleep if I can cut off the natural wake up with the sun.

No naps. Just not a napper.

Go to sleep around 11pm.

 

[SLC_Dawg]

I also wake up at 5:30, vestige of waking up at 3:55 and getting to work at 5 for so long. Now I don’t have to, but there I am staring at the ceiling at 5:30

 

[George Hayduke]

after 7 you are wasting the day and should be ashamed.

 

[hairydawg88]

Yea…I rarely sleep past 7am and when I do it because I went to bed extremely late(early in the morning).

 

[TimberRidgeDawg]

Without an alarm, 6:30 is about as late as I ever go.

I understand. It is even worse when you can’t get your kids to sleep later than normal! Lol

my doctor has described what you said as “social jet lag”. It is what happens to young people who work and have a normal sleep schedule during the week and try to stay up until all hours and “sleep it off” on Saturday and Sunday.

Once I wake up, usually around 5-6 am, I am up. Like you, I love the quiet hours of the morning before everyone gets up to enjoy my coffee

My wife loves to sleep in. Those Saturday mornings where I can wake up, grab a cup of coffee, and sit on the porch for a while by myself are really nice.

 

[WRobinsDawg]

Up at 5:30 on weekdays and 7:00 on weekends. People who sleep in late regularly are just like the fats in my eyes: disgusting slobs.

I think we were raised by the same dad. Back when I was young I hated that we had to be up by 8, but now I’m thankful. I believe I’ll parent my kids the same way.

 

[HBT_Dawgs]

Depends with me due to flip flopping schedules, being on call and working extra jobs all the time. Slept til 10 yesterday knowing I had a late extra job last night. Up now to hang with my daughter so my wife can sleep in today.

On a Sunday after a game it depends on how late the game was, how close it was, did we win and how much celebrating took place after the win. So the answer is anywhere from 5am to 2 pm.

I agree - 8 am is really sleeping in for my 47 yr old bones but that’s the max

 

[1_Dawgs]

I wake up without fail between 6:30-6:45 every morning with or without an alarm clock. Go to bed at 10 or 2 it doesn’t matter.

Depends. You got stuff to do that day? 8:30-9. You handle all your crap during the week, who cares.

4 am

Found the dairyman on the board!

 

[KD41]

Well every morning at 6a.m. I pee like a racehorse, then at 7am I crap like an elephant. Unfortunately, I don't wake up till 8.

 

[Bulldog_Ben]

I usually am up at 430 and to the gym by 5. But wife and baby were on a girls trip this week and I slept in until 11 yesterday with no remorse. Felt like I had earned it

That's a terrible mess to clean up everyday. Your wife must hate it

 

[Utley1992]

I get up at 3 am everyday for work, so I usually sleep until 10 am on the weekends.
