"Then of course, my night life is so exciting, anyway. Go to bed with Ben(gay), visit(the) John several times during the night, Charly (horses) keeps waking me up, then I wake up with Art(thritis)."
Gee, we have the same exciting night life, LOL! I'm 75 and finally have given in to the pattern of 2 hrs. sleep then a potty call then the cycle repeating itself several times during the night. Now I just pile up some soft pillows on the couch and watch tv or read or spend time on the computer and then back to sleep for a few hours and begin my day around 7am. Recently a bad cold came on overnight and at 10 am I was still asleep so DH began to worry and started poking me to see if I was still alive.
Funny story, once I decided to spend that awake time catching up with some sewing. Next morining DH said he had had nightmares about trains coming to run him down. That's when I realized since my sewing room is directly over our bedroom that was no train he heard - it was my sewing machine.
