Now that's what I'm talking about... Sleep is way overrated!

Looks about like my routine...

Everyone is so structured about bedtimes, good for you! A regular sleep schedule is supposed to be very important in obtaining a good night's sleep.

Sadly, I am like teachnmo above, sometimes I read until 2 AM. I go to sleep when I have nothing interesting left to do. I have terrible sleep patterns and I often have difficulty getting enough sleep. And deservedly so! But I'm not complaining.

After working for 40+ years, it is such a pleasure to not be on a routine!

For some reason I need very little sleep. So to bed around 11 and up around 5. And am usually reading for an hour of that time.

Toss and turn and try not to wake up the wife................so I go make coffee, get the paper, clean the litter box, go for about a 1 mile walk, come back read the paper, drink the coffee and let the dogs out. Well trained you might say.

Default KathieI?

I'd really like to see KathieI's answer to this question. I don't know where she gets her energy from, so I'm curious to see how many hours of sleep she gets most nights (or days).

(Whoops, just read your post ssmith ... we think alike.)

I still live in Missouri, and go to bed at 10 pm - watch the news in bed, turn off the tv @ 10:30 and get up between 6 and 6:30 am.
I wonder how many of you that came from the midwest, where primetime tv is from 7-10 pm and news @ 10, had trouble adjusting to eastern time, where the primetime is 8-11? I know when I had to stay in New York for two weeks at a time on 3 or 4 occaisions, it threw me off a bit. Seems like easterners (new yorkers are my main observation) get started a bit later in the morning. I can barely stay awake for the end of Monday nite football as it is!!! If MNF ended after midnight I'd be out.

Yeah, but midnight gets here an hour earlier.

Ed, I'm from the Westwest, and the news is on at 10 there, too. I still have trouble staying up late enough for the late news here. I do the 3C's (coffee, cats, computer) during the commercials, and then Mr. Judy wakes me up and tells me it's bedtime.
