Night Owls

Post by Turdyturdy »

Has anyone else noticed the night owl hours we post and reply? Nice to know I am not the only one up all hours of the night. I probably have a sleep disorder!

I get up at 0600 (that's sleeping in if I was on day shift) and then lay down for a 3 to 4 hour nap about noon before going to work that 1st night on back shift.
I am too old to be awake more than 20 hours at a time anymore.
And switching from days to nights and back messes up my coffee intake.

Now that I have CoVid, I sleep and wake up at strange times.
I probably will change back in a few weeks when I get better.

I work rotating 12 hour shifts and it is really starting to take a toll on me. I hate the first day back on nights and the first couple days coming off of nights.

I've been on the same general schedule for years, bed at 2230, up at 0430. My wife thinks I have a problem. "People need more than 6 hours of sleep", not this one! Not sure why, but I figure I am on the left hand side of the bell curve. Been this way since I was 15. I only change up my schedule when I'm at sea for the sake of watches. The first day is tough but then things settle in quickly.

For many years I was a forced night owl. Now that I’m retired I find old habits hard to break. Especially since I have discovered naps.

I'm sure not up to notice anyone posting late. If I'm up past 10:00 pm there's something strange happening that requires me to be up that late. Rarely sleep in past 5:30 am, and often up earlier.

COVID definitely messes with your sleep cycle. I'd be up around 2-3 AM, let the dogs out and goof around for a couple hours. Then a couple 1-2 hour naps and then out by 7-8 PM. My wife and the oldest boy weren't affected quite as much but we were all napping during the day. I don't think this house has ever been that quiet. :shock:
A bad cough was my worst issue. An Albuterol inhaler took care of 99% of that, but you can feel when it's wearing off.

Hope you feel better soon!

The exhaustion was the worst for me.

I am a night owl, and since I have retired I am bad to stay up until midnight and sometimes a late as 2 am. And sleep till maybe 8:30 am. But I am often up by 7:30. I never liked getting up early, even though I had to do it, most of my life.
