Are you an "early bird" or a "night owl"?

I'm a daytime person but not an early bird. I go to bed at about 10 p.m. and read, and I'm usually asleep by 11. I wake up naturally between 7 and 8 a.m.  It's been that way for all of my adult life which is quite a long time - I'm now 80 years old. I've never had any reason to try to change that cycle.  

I consider myself a nite owl. in bed by 1am and usually sleep 7 to 9 hrs. the drug that i take for bed leaves me waking up drunk and very groggy. Takes me a few hrs and of course never forget my morning coffee!

Throughout my 42 year Sales & Marketing career, I was always an early riser. Now that I have been retired for the past 11 years I'm more of a Night Owl, watching late night TV or watching UTUBE and social media on my computer. 

If I have to make doctor's appointments I usually make them for late morning or early afternoon. The only other time I  get up early is for Car Shows or other hobbies I enjoy.

I'm an earlly bird with insomnia!  So I'm up early most days and head to bed at a reasonable time most evenings, but tend to lie awake awhile before sleeping.

I usually go to sleep after the local news and weather on TV, about 11:30, and awaken at 7:30 AM for coffee and breakfast. This has been my routine for most of my 80 years.

I have been an early riser all my life.  I am retired now but I get up at 4:30 am every morning.   I do my YOU TUBE exercise routine for seniors.  Then I do my morning meditation for 10 minutes.  Then I do my morning news reading.  Last, I go to the gym to walk and ride the stationary bike.

I am usually in bed by 9 pm. I wake up naturally between 5 and 6 am. Sometimes I even wake up at 4 am. I used to be a night owl when my kids were home. I would often go to bed at 1 or 2 am and get up at 6:30 am. I'm 64 and can't even imagine doing that now!

I'm a 100% night owl I love the night and my anxiety is low I'm not feeling depressed as often. I seem to love the dark night, not too many lights but also I love looking at the stars and the moon as well. I don't feel completely alone. 

If I only felt as awake in the morning as I do at night. I have tried everything. My poor husband. I try not to wake him up. I didn’t have insomnia until I had my bilateral total knee surgery a year ago and then a month later bilateral quad and tendon repairs. Yeah me. Sooo. Even though I am awake I still wonder what some of the Amazon boxes on the porch are going to unfold. SURPRISE…..

I get up daily at 630am. Check glucose usually between 82 to 99. Take acros. A inhibitor.   Make breakfast. Usually one egg with spinach flatbread and Turkey bacon and oatmeal cooked. Half cup oatmeal.   Then go swim.  Every day same  routine. Im 65 .
