What time do you go to bed in Spain?

In general, I'd say that around 23h on working days and around 1am on non working days (or much later if you have the luxury of going out with some friends. In that case it'll probably be around 7am, or after some chocolate con churros). When it comes to children, they go to bed around 21:30h.
