  My sleeping pattern has been wacky for the past year especially since the spring and summer months.  It does not get dark here until about 10:30 or 11:00 so it seems early in the evening to me and I'm not tired.  When I am finally ready for bed it's usually 3 or 3:30 am. Unfortunately this is the time the noisy seagulls start flying in from the ocean  because the sun is already beginning to shine (it's  light outside by 4:00).   I didn't go to bed Friday night. I stayed up until 9:45 Saturday morning.

Needless to say, but I sleep late these days. I would like to go to bed earlier so I'll wake up earlier because I enjoy my mornings.

Yes, early riser...even if I have no plans for the day. I also go to bed at a decent time each night.

 Your husband's JOB is to awaken you?  Do you pay him for that, provide medical insurance and a 401k?

I usually get up at 6.45am when I'm going to work, and about 8.30am if I'm not. Your husband is not doing his job itsmee, best tell him you'll get yourself a younger version if he doesn't get his act together. I told my wife that ,when she was slacking one day, her answer is not printable.

Duty calls & we are up at 4:00 am.I get to talk things over with  Maggie for about 30 mins before we have to start caring for Susan.But I love the mornings & I have always said that an hour in the morning is worth 2 in the afternoon,as far as getting things done is concerned.

Why is it your husban's 'Job' to awaken you???  That should be your job!  I have as everyone has an internal bio clock.  When I set my mind, I get up right as the second hand passes 12.   Like magic, never lets me down, dead tired up all night or not, I tell myself to wake at 7AM, as the second hand passes 12, I up up.  I set my bio-clock each night by looking at the clock just before turning off the lights.  I have never had to ask my wife to awaken me, or ever used an alarm clock.. Trust in yourself!  many people do this.

Oh man ... I just wander around and do whatever the hay I please really... I am often insomniac but I don't care anymore about it and my girls determine whether I 'sleep in' or not as I am also a wonderful chauffeur because I will drive them anywhere, anytime.... I used to party like a hound when I was a musician because that's what we got paid to do and I rarely slept then .... sleep is over-rated really... if I didn't have to sleep I would get so much more rambling and puttering around in .... it would be very cool.... I would cover the island in gardens or some such maniacal dream.... Zzz .. zz .. zzzz

I am still an early riser, even in retirement, but if I need to sleep in, I can and do.  Once in a while, I will sleep to 9, or even rarely 10 am, but mostly awake by 6-6:30.  Got to get that coffee going for me and wife...

itsmee i think you got people going because nobody wants to see someone blame another person for their life. but i do realize that couples have all sorts of different 'agreements' that they function under. hope you and your mate are enjoying everything. have a great day.
