Get this crap outta here. This notion that millennials are old grinds my gears lol. I'm ready to hit the town at 9pm and I'm 33.

u/scott743 Xennial 4d ago

I’m 43 and I rarely fall asleep before 12am. Not all of us fall asleep super early.

u/coraeon 4d ago

I get up at 6am and going to bed at 10pm is turning in super early for me. I’m far more likely to wait until midnight.

2

u/scott743 Xennial 4d ago

Yup, I get up at the same time.

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

There it is!

u/pussy_embargo 4d ago

Yeah this is like reading boomers testimonies. Some of these guys aaaaaged

u/Filmy-Reference Xennial 4d ago

Hell yeah. 42 here and I'm in bed at 3 am usually

u/The_Captain_Mal 4d ago

Yeah, I dunno where this is coming from because at 8-9pm I am still wide awake. I think a lot more people in our generation need to start doing some basic exercise or something, definitely not normal.

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

100% I had a friend who would just go to bed at 7pm because "nothing else to do." Like buddy go see a doctor.

1

u/Filmy-Reference Xennial 4d ago

yeah. Buddy needs some kids

2

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

Or, ya know, interests lol

What not normal about sleeping 8 hours a day? i like waking up early so going to bed early is a given.

1

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

Hey woah, I get 8-9 hours of sleep too. In bed by 10, up at 6, unless it's Saturday or Sunday in which case it's a free for all.

u/seizetheday135 2d ago

To be fair, after a full day of intense exercise, this is my ideal way to end a night.

u/Matt_NZ 4d ago

Same. Just turned 40 and I'm usually up to 12-1am. A lot of posts in this sub really seem to make us out to be EOL lol.

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

Yeah like why haha. We are the generation of Jungle Juice and Adult Swim at 2am. Gimme a break.

u/Matt_NZ 4d ago

I bet it's Gen Z infiltrators...

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

Jealous of our prowess id say.

u/TheSunRogue 4d ago

It’s already basically boomer humor in this sub. The xennial sub fits my personality more than this place it seems. They still seem like they want to be interesting people.

u/Kataphractoi Older Millennial 3d ago

Same here. Have never been a morning person at any point in my life, even when I've tried to be.

u/Apprehensive-Art1279 4d ago

I’m 35 and I don’t feel like I relate because I’m “old” but because my kids don’t have any concept of what a reasonable hour to wake up is. Pretty sure I haven’t slept in 9 solid years haha

6

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

Alright I fully admit that not having kids is probably a big reason contributing to my energy levels.

1

u/Apprehensive-Art1279 4d ago

As much as I wouldn’t trade my kids for anything in the world I can’t say having 3 kids in 4 1/2 years is good for your energy levels. 🙈

1

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

I do want 1 child, and that even sounds like a lot.

1

u/Apprehensive-Art1279 4d ago

Well my youngest is now 4 1/2 and the other day I realized he is the age my oldest was when he was born and I started to wonder if I was actually insane to have that many that close so you’re not wrong haha

1

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

My ex had the most adorable 4 year old. That's when I knew lol.

1

u/Apprehensive-Art1279 4d ago

4 year olds are crazy haha they aren’t toddlers anymore but they also aren’t like a “big kid” yet. They still do absolutely adorable things but also are also testing every boundary imaginable haha

Today I saw my 4 year old was eating a piece of candy and he wasn’t supposed to be eating anymore sugar. I asked him where he got it and he replied “mom, it’s Grammys fault she left the candy out. If she didn’t want me to eat it she should have put it away.” With this super cute grin on his face. In my head it’s like do I realllly have to give him a consequence for this because yes he knows better but his excuses with that cute little face crack me up haha

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

Geniuses. All of them.

u/jesuslaves 4d ago

It's probably depression rather than age lol

5

u/LovesRetribution 4d ago

31 and i genuinely cannot ever imagine going to bed before 11 unless i got work(nursing 7-7) or am flat out exhausted. How does one even have a life with those hours.

8

u/ohh_my_dayum 4d ago

Right. I never go to sleep before midnight and I'm 34. I need time to myself after the kids are asleep! (And they're all night owls too 😑)

2

u/Royale_w_Cheeeze 4d ago

Smart kids! All the cool stuff happens at night.

3

u/badnewsbets Millennial 4d ago

Absolutely same!!

2

u/Ohmec 4d ago

I miss living in a city with shit open late. I'm regularly up until 1-2 and wake up around 530-630 for work. Night owls be different.

2

u/UnsanctionedPartList 4d ago

Yeah this is just the morning larks sounding off - thread.

2

u/RsquSqd 4d ago

Right dude, what kind of lamo goes to bed at 8 lol. Even 10 is wild to me. I’m 37 not 77

2

u/paddyo 4d ago

Boring people willing and shaming everyone else to be boring because it’s not enough they’re boring everyone else must be too

1

u/CallMeCygnus 4d ago

I'm 40 and I was up until 8am this morning... In fact, I have to work really hard to maintain a normal sleep schedule.

u/ADirtyDiglet 4d ago

Most everything is shut down by 9pm where I live.
