I'm a nite owl. I like the night hours as I seem to come alive. I am not a AM person since I retired. DH and I really don't have any set times anymore.

I love staying up late, usually sewing and checking the QB. The quiet is so nice. The only problem is I get up early so sometimes during the day I get a little tired. I just take a short nap and feel refreshed. It's great being retired, now I don't have to force myself to go to bed early to get enough sleep.

i just don't sleep very much at all. I used to sleep, but as I've gotten older I sleep less and less. I don't get sleepy during the day, so I guess it's okay. Last night I slept from about 4:30 to about 7.... and woke up on my own.. I don't know anyone that sleeps like I do.. or don't!

What do I do?? anything I want that doesn't make enough noise to wake up my long sleeping DH!! Mostly read the QB threads, watch tv, read, sew, clean.. whatever strikes my fancy!

I am a night owl too but since I live alone I can be if I want to. I do things when & if I want to! LOL My daughter has a fit & thinks I need to get back on a schedule of going to bed early & getting up early like her & her DH do. Well if I was still working I probably would but I enjoy what I do & I enjoy my way of living. LOL

I never sleep at night , the bad thing is I can't use the sewing machine either for waking my DH. up. So I read and listen to
Coast To Coast on the Radio, I plain to sandwich a quilt top and try my hand at Hand Quilting at night while listening to my Radio . It is so hard when your sewing room is in your bedroom as mine is. :roll:

Hi Jodie my name is Carol ....now you know someone that sleeps like you do... or don't. One thing different... My DH can sleep through any noise I make. He says it doesn’t bother him... I guess after 49 years together he must not mind or else I don't think we would still be married.

I only sleep every other night. This is the off night. I tried though because we have to be up at 5:00 AM. Wait a minute, I didn't sleep last night either. Bummer.

The dogs are so adorable. Are they yours? Where did you get them?
