Default Night owls

I love reading the many and varied posts on TOV. I've noticed that several of you post in the wee hours of the night (morning?). Poll: Are you Night Owls by choice?

Definitely!! I worked graveyards most of my career and still haven’t become “normal” yet. At least I am able to fall asleep around 2am now.

I go to bedbbetween 1am and 2 am and unless I have an appointment I get up between 9 and 10:am, I like night better then day and usually watch a movie starting after 12 here,but years when I’m away in winter whether it’s Hawaii Miami Beach or Thailand I would be out somewhere, same in summer I would be out after 12 in Boston. I’m 82 and this routine suits me , I hope those days come back soon

I wake up several times during the night and light reading helps to fall back to sleep

Sleep about 4 hour per night. Call for 40 plus years changes your sleep habits.

We still live on the west coast. Even though I am a night owl it makes it look even worse. lol

I am definitely a night owl. I don’t watch t.v. much but am an avid reader.

It’s 2:30am. Hoping this morning to see the planets, and stars. So far clouds are in the way.
In the warm months I run at this time, plenty of light, and except for the occasional community watch, cars are almost nonexistent. I usually try to sleep by 3am, always up before 7am.

Everyone said I would 💤 when I retired, been almost four years, it’s not going to happen.

Used to be a night owl (even as a baby!) but at age 50 everything changed and I'm now asleep by 10 and up at 6. Maybe it's because I discovered sport at that age, and much prefer doing it in the morning.

I'm lucky if I get to bed by 2 am. I'm often awake all night and go to sleep at sunrise. This is why my neighbors sometimes refer to be as the vampire I wish I could get to sleep earlier but when I try I just lay there wide awake.
