My issue since retirement is that I need to wake up naturally to avoid fatigue during the day. That time can be anywhere between 7am and 8;30am , but I never settle down to sleep until 11pm.   If I set an alarm, it doesn't work for me anymore. I stay tired all day.  All very odd.

After a shower, I turn in at about 10 pm and read until I get dozy. Up a couple of times in the night for a pee. Well, I will be 91 in a couple of months. Most times I have to read again to send me off. Up at 6 am and a fifteen minute walk to keep the bits moving. Sometimes an hour's nap in the afternoon. Boring? Yeah. But I've done all of my gallivanting over the years. 😉

The wife is up at 5am, cooking food for the monks, they get to us at about 6.15 am, I am up at 5.30 am, we have a smallholding rearing few cattle, they what feeding, then a of tea, then when the wife is done, we are out cutting fed for the cattle, nonmale done by 7.30 am, then breakfast.

For some years milked a head of cows in the UK, started milking at 6 am, so use to an early start.

I worked my whole life in a 24/7/365 industry. I had a variable roster. One day I'd be working all night. A day or two later I'd be working all day. Constant shift changes, with crack of dawn starts, followed by middle of the night starts. All over the clock.

 

Now I'm retired and my greatest luxury is - a lie in. More than that is the freedom to set my own bedtime/wake up routine.

I've settled into one where I normally hit the sack around midnight and tend to read for an hour before sleep hits me on the head.

I wake most days at 0830, bit nap until 0930. I then catch up with the news of the day on my iPad until I roll out of bed for breakfast around 1000-1030.

I've been known to lay reading until 1100.

Like I said, this to me is luxury after decades of sleep disruption and deprivation.

The only drawback is that my days seem to fly by too fast. I sometimes wish I was more of a 'morning person' and was naturally waking (and rested) at 0700. I could probably get more done in the day.

But, I am what I am.

 

How about you? What's your routine?

I am a night owl never go to bed before 2 or 3 am but since I retired now  can sleep in  till lunch time
