Hi

I have always been an early riser. As a young boy I did a paper round.I used to have to be at the shop for 05.30 every day, including Saturdays and Sundays.

I was in The Royal Air Force and in training met with loads of guys that struggled to get up early ( about 05.00). For me no problem.

Now that I am in my "senior years" I tend to stay in bed until 07.00. But in summer tend to rise around 06.00.

The real difference for me is the time we go to bed. I was always a night owl, staying up until 01.0 or 02.0.

Now we retire around 10.30pm but I tend to read for about an hour before I drop off.

Most older people have less sleep but I am the opposite.

In the Winter I also tend to have a short "nap" after lunch. I must be catching up on my lost sleep as a "youth".....lol

Cheers
