I go to bed at midnight but I usualy can't fall asleep until around 2 or 3am. Get up between 7 or 7:30am

after living four years in madrid, my body got on the late schedule...am always awake until after midnight, sometimes get to watch craig ferguson until one thirty like to wake up around eight thirty when the light seeps through my eyelids never have been a "jump out of bed full of enthusiasm" type. since no one cares what i am doing at those hours, why not? i need a hubby like teachnmo's!

I go to bed around 4-5am and get up at 9. I have never allowed myself to require much sleep as I have always thought that sleep was a waste of time. I love the midnight to 4 am period as I am able to write with no interruption.

I'm very flexible now in my retirement.

For many years, fighting the traffic in LA, It was to bed at 9pm and awake at 3am to try to avoid early morning traffic. Then work all day until 7 or 8pm and getting home around 9 pm and go straight to bed again. I never saw my house, my family or my dogs and it wasn't pleasant.

Now in retirement, if I'm out dancing, it could be 1am before I get to bed and wake up whenever I want to.... and even after waking up, I don't have to get out of bed until I want to. My naps are as I want.... every day or sometimes... and if I need a long one, I take it.

Who says retirement isn't great!!! I worked 48 years straight to enjoy this life and enjoy it I will....

Always been a late night person.

Seem to be very lazy during the day (except for golf) but then wake up.

Last night around 9:30-10:00 pm started prepping my garage for painting.
Put on some music, cooler weather and just gooooooooooo.

Usually up around 7 am.

I love sleep! It's like death with the responsibility.

When I was younger I would be out like a light for 9 hours every night, but now it's rare if I doze off before midnight and never sleep through without waking a couple of times. I'm generally up around 6-7am. I don't feel sleepy or fatigued, though, so I guess my body just needs less rest these days.

I suppose in retirement many people are finding out what their natural circadian rhythms are since they're no longer being forced to adhere to typical daytime work schedules. There was one period when I was unemployed for a few months and my cycle gradually got pushed back until I was staying up until 3-4am and sleeping until noon.

I wake up around 5:30 to 6:00 am...go to bed around midnight.. Guess its the way my system is programmed after many years of working.

Love this quote on the wall at one of the Regional Recreational Centers....How beautiful it is to do nothing and rest afterwards.

With that usually go to bed by 10 PM and wake at 5 AM..........love the peacefulness of the morning. An afternoon power nap of 45 to 60 minutes is rejuvenating especially when there is an evening TV sports event to watch.

[zcaveman]

Up by 5:45 AM and in bed around 11 PM depending on whether or not the game I am watching runs late.

My internal clock stopped working years ago, so I threw it out!

[SALYBOW]

I have the dubious honor of being an insomniac. I am up at all times around the clock I hate, Hate, Hate it!!!!

[patfla06]

I'm a night owl! Always have been.
Go to bed midnight plus and up 9 or so.
Love reading at night.

This is what retirement is all about. Finally able to go to sleep when I want, which is between 12:30 and 1 am. If I'm not playing golf in the morning I'll sleep till 9:30

Ditto here. I don't make a habit of going to bed at the same time, it can vary by an hour or two depending on what I've become interested in on television or online. Yet I ALWAYS wake up around 5am, more often than not right on the dot. How does that work?? I haven't had to set an alarm for several years.

Looking forward to many beautiful, early mornings in TV.....someday.
