When I worked I went to bed around nine thirty and awoke at five thirty. I did that for 41 years. After retirement I began to stay up later and later. Of course that meant getting up later in the morning. I am definitely a night owl now and hate getting up early. In fact I have my best sleep in the morning hours!

I do have to say when I get up early, I feel the day doesn't go by as fast and I get more done.

Boy does this ever resonate (she types at 2:03am while DH is sound asleep)

Unfortunately, a structured routine is something I lack since our daughter moved out at 18 to go to college and then married. My husband keeps telling me I need a routine. I HAVE a routine. It's called a "no routine" routine

I am a really early morning person. I naturally wake up between 3 or 4 in the morning and am fully awake and full of energy. Even if I just layed there I would not fall back to sleep. I never needed an alarm clock. Workout for 2 hours or so every morning and walk with my dog when it gets light. Any housework gets done early or not at all.

Ive never been a morning person ever since I was a child. When I was a kid, I my mom would take me to our yard while I still had my eyes closed, she would try to wake me up by showing me the birds and squirells. (i love animals)

@beach-mom You sound like me. DH is up at 5am and I like to get my work done after midnight. I thought it was just me. For some reason Im more focused late at night and most productive. Its the calm and quiet in the air that I really enjoy.

Yup. I walk into my bathroom in the morning, see myself in the mirror, and think "Who IS that old lady?"

Oh, it's me.

I seem to wake up around 5AM whether or not I set the clock or no matter what time I go to sleep. I'm on the move most of the day and wind down by 3 and need my power nap before making dinner.

Happy New Year @ECBG

I'm a morning person, too! Nice to know others are out for an AM walk like me. I try to get out for my walk by 5:45 and watch the sun come up. It's such a peaceful time of day.
happy New Year to you, @riley1

Used to wake up too early, between 5:00 and 5:30 am. Luckily, now that is winter and has been kind of dreary in the morning (no sun till later), I have been able to sleep to about 7:30 or so, which is pretty good for me. All those years of working and alarm went off before 6:00, so I would like to be able to sleep longer now. Still stay up to at least midnight or later.
