What time do you go to sleep?!

[JoArtyJo]

Just curious if I am in the minority or not- it is approaching midnight here on the UK and I am still tweeting, facebooking, drawing, listing, taking part in a treasury, reading team posts, and now posting here!

Since joining etsy I am normally up till around 1am. I don't work because I have a 1yr old.... So I do actually have a more than full time job already! During the day I have been "etsying" any spare minute ie nap times (housework has gone out the window- but I don't live to clean!)

And as soon as little one is asleep I am off again till I can't keep my eyes open! And all for 2 sales in 2 months lol

Oh and I forgot to say about stat checking! Ha! And it doesn't even end when I get in bed as I have an iPhone!!

So- am I alone or is anyone else as etsy-crazy as me?!

At least it shows I am determined lol. Jo :-)

I am in the UK too and tend to go to bed in between 1 and 2 a.m. I have always been a night owl. I am certainly not an early bird though.

Hey,

I stay up late working and tweeting too!! It's not crazy it's called passionate, ( or maybe obsessive lol)

Oh darlin' ... I'm very deep into sleep well before 1 a.m., but that's because I'm at my official job by 7 a.m. I can only dream (no pun intended) of being home to Etsy during daylight hours! My best hours to create are between 6 and 9 p.m.

With your one-year-old,you definitely work harder than most others. Congratulations on your new family :).

I think obsessd may be an accurate description!!

[thedots]

I think my average bedtime is 2:30 a.m.

[Former_Member]

Waaaayyyy too late. I work full time outside the home, and spend hours and hours at home every night working on BOTH jobs. Other than being sick recently, I have not had a nap in years....

I always tell myself I will catch up on sleep on the weekends, but for some reason when the weekends roll around, I find myself with even less sleep. I can keep (day)dreaming, right?

[ClassicClosets]

I conk out around 10:30 :) I know this is not the norm for all of you....

[Former_Member]

Hahaa... Well it's nice to know I'm not the only one. I have an iPhone too so sometimes it's hard to unplug. I did get a little burned out though after last holiday season and went on a 6 month hiatus. So I am hoping to pace myself a little better this time.

[Former_Member]

I am a serious night owl! Lol So you're not alone. I'm a single mom to a 3 year old, have a full time job, and about 5 other hobbies I do. Lol. There are some days it's nearing 4 a.m. when I go to bed!! Insanity!

[foreverandrea]

sleep? I'm not familiar with that term.

[Former_Member]

around 2 AM

[Former_Member]

Haha!! @foreverandrae Exactly. Oddly enough I usually have an insane amount of energy. But I do love to drink coffee...so there you go.

[JoArtyJo]

@saysaysara- WOW, the bit that impresses me most. Is the fact you have a 3 yr old!!

[Former_Member]

I'm definitely a morning person! I try to go to bed at a decent time (11 or midnight) and wake up around 6:30. On the weekends, I'll sleep in a bit more, but still get up at a decent time to start working!

[Former_Member]

@JoArtyJo Lol I certainly do. She's a fiery red head and I love her dearly. Even when she's chasing our dog around like a lunatic. Lol

[Former_Member]

I'm a morning person too! I'd much rather paint early in the morning than late at night.

My most creative time period, however, is late afternoon when the sun is the brightest. I think I'm solar-powered. :)

[JoArtyJo]

I am glad I'm not alone! What makes it even harder is that in the states you're all up and active on here in our small hours! I have got replies to posts I have posted first thing in the morning from people up at gone 2am :-) there's always someone awake!

[Former_Member]

I am supossed to go bed at 11pm when DH goes but a lot of nights I sneak back up & stay up until 2-2:30 am. I dont have a day job but I do have 2 kids who are heavily involved in sports and I am the treasurer for DD's swim team. I am most creative later in the evening and I am not at all a morning person. Never have been but I do get up to get the kids off to school & sometimes I'll lay back down for an hour and catch a cat nap if the morning is free.

[IslandPicnic]

Oof, my kids get up WAAAAAYYYYY too early for me to stay up that late. I could, but I'm NOT a morning person, and I pretty much need all the help I can get not to be grumpy in the AM! I actually try to Etsy during the day mostly. A few morning hours in a row while the kiddos are at school, a couple in the afternoon while the little one is napping, and one or two more after they go to bed. But I try to finish up by 9pm, 10pm at the latest. Or else... I'm a monster the next day!!! LOL

[Former_Member]

i have 3 kids so i create/etsy when they nap (between 1 and 3) and go to bed (after 9), so to get any decent amount of time in, I'm up till at least midnight!

[SeptemberWillow]

I average a midnight bedtime- up at 6:30 ish and out the door for work by 7:30. I work four ten hour days so I do most designs, listings and photographing on my three day weekends. Two kids with sports, husband on shift work and two Etsy shops- it's CRAZY but I do enjoy it. Grateful for the outlet and something that is for me and my personal satisfaction~

[Former_Member]

I regularly go to sleep at 1 - 2 am. I work best at night. My mornings are horrible and my afternoons are busy, so my nights are for Etsy.

[Former_Member]

I'm a night owl! It drives my husband nuts! He usually has to get up early lol.

[Former_Member]

I just go to sleep when I am sleepy and wake up when I am done being sleepy. Bed time is usually 6am but sometimes much later in the day!
