I wake up at 4:30-5. Am out the door for a run by around 5:20am.

I'm in bed by 8:30-9pm. I know it seems like a luxurious amount of sleep, but I wake up frequently. I have no idea what it's like to sleep through the night.

Am back home by 6:20am, shower and do some things around the house, leave for work 7:15. I do not WFH at all, so your 2 days are pretty sweet.

Very helpful thanks!

It’s the only answer. Your welcome.

What I’m really asking is what time most 5am exercisers are going to bed.

I'm in bed by 9pm and up at 4:50am. Sleep is essential and I need a minimum of 6.5 hours, with 8 being ideal and 9 would be Heaven.

What time do you get to work?

You get home from work at 9 pm? Do you eat all three meals outside the house? What are you doing from 9-11pm?

Do many people work out at 10/11pm? Another option…

11 PM.

Does anybody workout after work and miss family dinner occasionally?

In bed by 9.

I’m like you and WOH 5 days a week and have three kids too. I do all my chores in the morning. Laundry is folded, house is tidied, etc. I have no extra $ to outsource.

So I need to aim for 7 hrs of sleep at least. 5 is just not feasible even with a boost from regular exercise?

Go to bed 2 hours earlier. Math.

Working parent here, two full time jobs only 2x week WFH, 3 kids from elem to high school.

Afternoons are impossible because we pick up kids, have dinner; then run to activities and sports until around 9pm at night. I’ve tried to get workout during activities but usually logistics prevent anything more than a walk.

What I need to do is get up at 5am so can gym 530-630, then be ready to take kids to school by 7am, then off to work.

But getting home at 9, by time kitchen is tidy, and house is put back together it’s like 11pm, and then I get to bed. Going to bed 11pm/12am makes a 5am workout really hard.

Anyone BTDT? I wish we had a housekeeper or driving nanny, but not enough $$$ to make happen.
