Re: Curious why people ""can't stay up late""

I don't like to stay up late because I will feel like I didn't get enough sleep the night b4. I am usually in bed by 10-11, and fall asleep without issue and can sleep till 8 or 9 the next morning based on my work schedule. I like 8 hrs, 9 is better, but 10 is best. I have always loved to sleep, I am not good at getting up early. Will do it if needed but try to arrange my schedule to not get up early.

I get up early, usually 5:30-6:00am, sometimes earlier. I am usually out like a light by 9:00pm. I have never been a night owl. When I worked 3rd shift, that was really difficult for me....had a rough time sleeping during the day.

I am a morning person for sure. I'm up by 5 or 5:30 at the latest including on weekends. I go to bed around 10 or shortly after. I rarely stay up past 10:30.

The earliest I can usually fall asleep is 2 A.M.

I have to FORCE myself to go to bed...

I wish I loved to sleep. I don't sleep well. I never sleep 8 hours. I rarely get uninterrupted sleep. I'm up 3 or 4 times a night and probably get 6 to 6.5 hours on average.

LOL EMT--I can't stay up till 2 a.m.!!!! I haven't stayed up that late in years. I've been up at 2 a.m. though. (meaning can't sleep past 2 a.m.)

Re: Curious why people ""can't stay up late""

Thanks for all the replies. Interesting. I think my night owl behavior started with my parents. Although they both worked, they never started getting ready for bed until around midnight. It always surprised me that my friends' parents usually were in bed around 10! I trained myself out of it when I had a job that started at 6:00am. Now that I am retired I usually force myself to bed between 12 and 1. Because in spite of myself I love early mornings. (Meaning 7:00)

Bed time is between 10-10:30 p.m. because I'm a morning person and I have morning obligations.
