      Thanks for the question...I'll ask my 'shrink' next time I see him. But I think it may be because of a chronic imbalance in my synaptic inhibitors vs prime movers resulting in early crashing and late awakenings...aka, 'Dark Awakenings' by Matt Cardin. So much thoughtful controversy is simply exhausting.

        To keep it simple, it's because of the old coot syndrome. I know this because, I myself, have reached cootdom. By the way, don't confuse this with Coots which are several birds native to north America and Europe. I mean this in affectionate terms of a lecherous, crotchety, annoying, elderly pervert.
