Sign me up for the 3 a.m. virtual quilting club. This is a recent problem for me. I was always a good sleeper before. Oh well.

I too am a night owl... have been for a long time. When I was working, in order to "fit" everything in...laundry, cleaning, etc., I got used to 3-4 hours of sleep a night. Now that I've been retired for almost 6 years I still sleep 3-4 hours a night. If I could figure out a way to not sleep at all I would!!

I feel that way sometimes - I tend to wake up around 2 or 3 AM a lot, and on the weekends I just go ahead & get up. But I'm west coast, so even in the dark morning hours there's usually people awake over on the east coast.

Or there's a role playing game I will go into; and find all my online friends from the other side of the planet. Technology is a marvel, isn't it??

Actually I am now 73 and glad to be alive.
My nights very, some short and some long, guess the body tells us what it wants (79)

I sleep 7 hours straight most nights. When I don't, I just don't fight it. I'll take myself into the sewing room or go into the office. I try to go back to bed because the dogs will wake up and want to go outside. Dh gets up anywhere between 330 and 400 normally any morning, even on weekends. Most times I go to bed when I start to doze off. So usually between 10:00 and 10:15 to about 530-600. If I nap in the afternoon I can be up most of the night. have been sleeping more since been on blood thinners.

When I get up I never thought about getting on here. I've worked nights for years and have trouble sleeping at night. I usually read but now that I know you all are here I'll do this

I have trouble sleeping all night about one week of the month.Some nights I sleep 15 - 45 minutes and just wake up. I get up after a while and watch Home fixing shows. Sometimes I can sleep 1200-400 other times I don't go to sleep good until 230 or 300. I still work and have to be up at 415. My 11 month old puppy only likes to sleep about 5 hours. He is an early riser. Saturday my Husband usually lets me sleep until I wake at 700. Been doing this for years.
