Afternoon naps are wonderful........put on some mellow Jazz and sit back in comfortable high back couch and presto.........out like a light..!!........60 minutes later ready to give it another go.

I'm a late riser...always have been. It's usually 8:30 and no naps for me. But I don't go to sleep until between 11 and 12 at night. I remember the good old school days where we would have to get up at 6:30-7 and wondered why they would make teenagers get up so early. I hated it!

The times you mention are just the opposite for me. When in MA I find I am up earlier 5:30 - 6, but here in TV I tend to wake up around 7A. I always thought (for me) it is because of the sun rising much later here in TV....

I have been waking up at between 4 and 5, up no later then 5:30 for 50 years so it's a hard habit to break. Stay up until 10:30 or 11:00 but still wake up early. Sleep is a habit and I am working to break it.

still working, but haven't had to set an alarm clock for several years.

internal alarm goes off always around 5am, very often right on the dot.

wonder how that works?

When I used to work at 5AM and leave the house by 4:30, I was always amazed at the number of people that were up at that hour down here when they don't have to be!

Since being retired, I wake-up when I am fully rested. I have nowhere to go at the moment so time seems like a non-issue.

When I have to get somewhere, that alarm gets me up. Life is good.
