I have yet to go to sleep before BF. Yes, I stay up all night!! With KayBee, I always go there first. They open at 5am. If you are not in line by at least 1am, you mind as well for get it. So I figure I'll suffer a tad bit that night, but will take a nice long nap when I get back!

Usually only about 2-3. Not for lack of trying though, I end up tossing and turning in bed..lol. I always end up at Best Buy by 2:00 because I just can not sleep.

I usually wake up at 3 am, so it all depends on how early I can get to bed. I usually get about 4-5 hours--I have to try to get some, because I don't get to come home and crash like I'd prefer to.

I usually get about 3-4 hours of sleep. I toss and turn all night thinking of what I will buy. Or worrying that the alarm won't go off. I also have an hour drive to get to the nearest walmart/target/kmart/shopko.

I usually stay up all night, drinking coffee and getting my game plan on....

 

ooopssss did I just knock her on the head, roll over his toes, push that cart in their back? Hey sales Lady...I need that TV off the top shelf, I was in line first. Hehehehe (EVIL GRIN)

I'm headed to BB at 6pm this year. That was the time I was told people started showing up in FL last year. I'll be in IL but have that FL blood so I'll be staying in the car until someone else gets there and forces me to jump into a line outside. Here's hoping the 20 degree temperatures keep people inside until after midnight...

Watching the weather tonight for here in Ohio and so far they are predicting rain for BF. Oh Joy!

 

:rotflol::rotflol: Too funny I was doing the same thing! I watch Fox 8 news with Andre' Bernier in the morning. It did say a temp of 51 but I'm sure that isn't at 3-4 in the morning either!!

 

I try to lay down but usually am not able to fall asleep... just too worked up with going through my game plan in my head.

We go to my moms for dinner on Thanksgiving, and my sister and I have all the ads spread out figuring out our game plan! I end up so excited I can't sleep at all!

 

*Last year I pushed the cart in, and my sis ran to get something, and I went another way, well I got so frustrated not being able to maneuver my cart I left it! I meet back up with my sis, and she says where's the cart? I said I just left it! She's like Oh my gawd, my purse was in there!!!!! We start panicking, and run to a security guard, then we hear her name over the speakers, we run to the desk, and luckily some people we actually knew had found her purse! She has still not let me live it down LOL! I'm sure this year I won't be the cart pusher.*

Mom395222 OMG I would freak out if my purse was lost! I usually carry it over my head across my body. I've heard that is the safest way to carry it. I had to laugh at the last line ... "I'm sure this year I won't be the cart pusher"!!! LOL for some reason I got a kick out of that one!

I will not be getting any sleept for 2 reasons. #1 I am too afraid I will not get up. One year I fell sleep and did not get up till amost 6 a.m. I freaked and ended so in back of a long long line at KB. #2 One year my alarm clock woke up my then 5 yr old son and I ended up having to take him with me b/c he was going to throw a fit and wake up the other 2 kids and his father. I didn't mind so much at the time b/c at that age you can basically buy in frotn of them without them even knowing it, however, he ws bored to death on line and he is now 10 yrs old, too old to buy in front of him or for him to keep his mouth shut to the other 3 kids.

 

Therefore, I will not go to bed at all. Sometiems i will take a 2 or 3 hour nap early in the evening and have my husband wake me before he settles down, but its rare I get to lay down any more with 4 kids ranging from ages 12 to 16 months.

Sleep???

 

What is that?

 

I'm embarrassed to say that in the past couple of years, I've gotten a sufficient amount of sleep the night before BF.

 

Now, in the good ol' days when all of the stores gave out all sorts of free stuff, I probably never got enough sleep.

LOL! Well, in my little bit of defense I have, she didn't tell me she was leaving her purse in the cart...but ya darn betcha I grabbed my own purse :tongue1: Hee hee!! And yes we were very lucky to have it found and returned! Trust me, I will never live it down LOL!

I think in the last three years, I've averaged 3 hours of sleep. My wife and I have a deal--I do the crazy shopping to save us the money, and she's a single parent the rest of the day while I sleep it off.

 

This year we may take it a step further. She'll likely keep the kids overnight at Grandma's house, while I head back for the stupidity.
