I quit drinking liquids after like 10:30pm-ish
I go to bed at 12:00am/midnight usually
then I watch late-night oldies, turn the Tv off
when or if I don't fall asleep, with it on, maybe 1:00am
awaken at whenever the sun comes
thru my glass back door/on the back deck
5:00am-ish summer to maybe 7:00 winter (If I'm still sleepy)
I'm good with 4-5 hrs, too much more I feel lazy during the day
my 85y/o dad goes to bed at 10:30pm
(unless wrestling is on, he's up till 11:00pm, god I hate that fake ****)
he's up at 8:30am...
I don't know how he does it,
after taking naps all day every few hrs
an hr nap, in his recliner in front of the big screen TV, daily
& he's 'in bed' for nearly 10hrs too
he used to be an up early guy too, way before he had to give up the booze
after his heart surgery, other health stuff the past few years
& he was actually was still working or going fishing or RV-ing or something...
He just sleeps now
I do fall asleep in front of the TV after dinner, like 6:00pm-6:30pm-ish
boredom, my pre-bed nap
we eat early, I hate going to bed on a full stomach
my dad likes to eat dinner at 5:00pm
my dog is really good he waits till I start to stir
& then he wants out to chase squirrels
("Rocky" a big male grey squirrel likes to mess with him)
or birds/turkeys/deer
I used to be in bed probably 10:00pm when I worked a lot
now I'm fully retired, I just don't sleep like I used to
I'm not as tired early like I used to be either
I hate to just lay there & not be able to sleep
It was a lot easier when Lisa was still here, to sleep too...
