    I wish I was one of those people that could sleep that much every night and be fine with it. I have a love/hate relationship with sleep. When I'm ready for bed I crash and love it. When I think about all of the things I could be getting done instead of sleeping I hate it. The thing that really gets me is if you sleep 8 hours a night your entire life you just spent 1/3 of your life sleeping. Seems like a giant waste of time (the most precious commodity any one of us will ever have) to me. Okay, rant over...

    I was always a night owl but have become more of an early bird as I get older. During the week I'm usually in bed sometime between 10 and 11. I wake up anywhere between 4 and 530 depending on how many times I hit the snooze button.

    Edit: on the weekends im usually in bed about the same time but will sleep til 630-7ish.

    I turn into a pumpkin by about 9-10ish. I was never a night owl, even in my early 20's when everyone wanted to stay out to 3am when the bars closed, I was yawning by midnight. 26+ years of military and up at 0500 everyday. Just stick a fork in me about 9pm I'm usually done by then! ;) Funny, even retired I'm up at 5 to 5:30 "still" everyday...

    I am normally going to bed about the time you get up. Well, not quite, I am usually in bed around 1:30 am to 2:00 am.

    I have been thinking about changing. I miss the mornings out on the side porch reading and drinking my morning cuppa. When I worked cleaning flats I had to be up by 5:00 am and out the door by 6:30.
