Wow, Asianthree, You have some energy level!!!!!!

When I was working, I had a 2 hour commute, so I would be up by 4:30. When I retired, I swore that I would never get up again @ 4:30 and I don't. I am now a night owl and go to bed around 4-4:30 and am up by 10. Life is good.

You've got the right attitude and you sure got there fast. I'm proud of you!

Up at 5 a.m. every day no matter what time I go to sleep

I'm up between 6 and 6:30 everyday.

Afternoon naps are an indicator of certain issues and should not be ignored.

IOW you shouldn't need one on a regular basis

I am definitely not a day person, never have been. Hated day shift. Mostly worked 2nd shift. Go to bed around 3am & get up betwn 11 & 12.

i don't need much sleep, but if i wake up the other half he is not a happy camper..so i run at 4am, when i am in TV there are more people up than you would think

I'm another night owl. The nice thing about retirement, we can all do our own thing.

A night owl (usually down between midnight and 1:00 am) but still an early riser -- 5:30 am. I'm one of those lucky ones who seems to run on 4-5 hours sleep with catnaps (no more than 15 minutes, usually even less). Have been this way my entire life.

Hey JIMBO, I had to laugh. While we were there we got soo tired...you know...go, go, go ( we have to get it all in during our week stay of vacation there). We are younger than some on this board; but one day we had a 2 nap day!!!!hahahaha. Got up early golfed. Took nap. Went to pool ....napped ...then went to dance to with Scooter. I know that when you live there that you learn to pace yourself....but not us on vacation

Ok I admit this is a hijack----back to when you get up ....

I'm finding as I get further into my golden years, I need less sleep. I used to crave eight hours a night, or I'd be tired the next day and yawning. Now I seem to be fine with six hours, no naps, not tired. I wonder if this is something that happens to everyone as they age.

After my third cup of coffee !!!!

:jester: :pepper2: :a20:

I too had a 2 hour commute. Got up at 5am for 37 years. Hated it! When I retired, I swore I would never get up at that hour again unless it was SUPER important. I also swore I would not do or go anywhere before 10am. Yes, I might miss out on stuff, especially outside stuff in TV but I am living the life I want and am very happy. So, I get up around 8:30 or so and take mornings on my terms. I get teased by one of my neighbors about when I pickup the paper. It is all in good fun.

Two thumbs up! :mornincoffee:
