Given that I need to get up at 5 in order to get to the gym at 6:30 (too much timewasting in the morning) so that I am at work at 9, everything after 21 is too late.
It’s called being a parent. The kids must sleep at 20:00 anyway and at that point there is not much reason to stay to up much longer. A bit of putting things into order, a drink with wife, a quick chat then sleep.
To me, yes. I don’t personally know many adults who stay up into the double digits more than occasionally, but it was brought to my attention that does not exactly mirror the global situation.
I would expect there to be a significant city / country divide. People in the country are more tied to natural daylight and tend to rise early (and so go to bed early). People in cities tend to go to bed late (because all the fun stuff happens in the evening / night) and rise late.
Keep in mind that people who go to work each morning generally have fixed schedules—that is, their bed time is set by the time they have to wake up in the morning + their sleep requirement.
Of people who are more than two years out of school: What was your average bed time last week?

I’ve heard more grown adults stay up extremely late than I’d assumed. First time trying to do a poll; there may well be errors.
After 23 is extremely late?

It appears so. I sometimes sleep past sunrise since retiring, but I almost never did when I worked at the bank.
All in all, mission success, priors updated :)
I think the statistics here for LW may be significantly different from the global situation as well.
Precisely my reaction. I aim for midnight-1:00, but consider 2:00 or 3:00 a mistake. 4:00 or 5:00 is regret incarnate.
Might want to clarify whether you literally mean school by “school”, or school & university. In context I’m guessing the first?
Meant college, if one went to college, and whatever schooling one had if not.
College kids staying up into the double digits every night for parties and/or homework is not really what I was wondering about.
Good point. As a postdoc I considered myself “out of school” but probably wouldn’t have as an undergrad.

Whether one has kids is an important factor here.
Not if you lost custody!
I’m sorry :(
