What time do you get to bed on average? And don't say 3am because I know that is not the average, those are outlier nights as much as everyone here loves to brag about their lack of sleep.
I’ll start, I’m usually in bed by 12:30 unless something major comes up. 1st year at a boutique

1am because I have a hard time getting myself to bed
Like 12am avg on weekdays. 1-3am Friday - weekends almost every time.
Sleep from 1-7 most nights. Typical schedule is work in office 8-8, gym/dinner 8-10. And then work from home from 10-midnight. Wind down with some YouTube videos and in bed by 1. When work gets busy, either have to cut down on gym sessions or work until 2 or so, or both.
Probably work 75-80 hrs a week on average
In the last 6 months, probably 2:30am on average on Monday - Thursday. I work at a notorious sweatshop group within a sweatshop bank.
i never sleep because the GRIND is 24/7 lol
