Hoooo? Night owl?
 

Have been a night owl since early teens (had to read under the covers)! Every job has required up no later than 5:30 a.m., though as a retiree can “sleep in” until 8:30. However, still go to bed between 1:45 and 4:00. There’s nothing worse than laying in bed unable to sleep; I’d rather stay up or get up & learn something!!

Not a night owl on purpose and definitely not a morning person. I don't like getting up at Zero Dark Thirty a.k.a. Ass-hat O'clock. LOL

Go to bed early (hubs choice). Usually wake up around 3 am. So fortunate to have friends all over the world (Barcelona, S Africa, Canada, Australia). Someone is awake always!

I wish you people would finally read the deed restrictions.

The rule in the Villages is to go to bed no later than 9 to 10 PM and wake between 3 to 5 AM.

I follow the rules.

Night Owl kinda by choice. Hospital RN 1976. Had to start on 3-11:30 shift & work my way to day shift. 2nd shift seemed to work better with my body clock. Hated 11-7;only worked that for one month. Was on days for years, hated getting up at 6. Went on SS Disability in 2000. Usually went to bed after The Tonight Show monologue and got up between 9 & 10. That was my best routine by far. Then a new TV show came on & I was staying up 'til 2. Then I developed insomnia and had to start taking drugs. I've been on them for so long that they're not very effective any more so I've added 1/2 tab of Dramamine to my mixture. I generally go to bed at 4am, wake up once to go to the bathroom then back to bed until around 1:30. I have my phone on 'do not disturb' until 1pm. I use C-pap with O2 & some nights are fine but other nights I fight with my nasal pillows because my sinuses clog up & I can't breathe.
On the nights that I could not fall asleep by 6 or 7am, I would go to McDonald's for an Egg McMuffin. I couldn't believe how beautiful that time of day was! I felt like I had so much energy & was happy. So now I'm at total odds with The Villages life (especially the lawn mowers at 8:30am) and am grumpy & sad when I get up in a darkened room. Oh well. :sigh:

we've prob seen each other there

I generally can’t sleep so I am up until 2 many nights and on steroid days I am up to 4-5AM. I generally the sleep to about 9 before we start with coffee.
