Early riser

So my wife always bags on me that I get up way to early. I got up this morning at 6 because it is going to be hot today. Changed the shocks on my tacoma, power washed the deck and walkways, mowed all my lawns. It is noon now and the rest of the day I can relax.

My buddy calls me a 6:15 this morning ('cause he knows I've been up for a while already) to go help build dog fence. It's raining and now I'm done!

I now get up when I used to go to sleep (or pretty close to it)

My body can only take so much laying down. I figure I will get my rest when it becomes dirt nap time!

Work nights at the PD and have been averaging 3.5-4 hours a night. It is starting to wear me down though I get a ton done.

I just think that's awesome! What time do you early risers go to bed? And then what time do you actually fall asleep?

I don't require much sleep many nights, and when I wake up...I'm up. Years of being on call. Fell asleep around 10:30...woke at 3...is it wrong to fire up a log splitter at 6:00 since I don't schedule meetings ?

ps: I wouldn't do that...

The older I get the less I sleep. If I go to bed early 9- 10 ish PM I'm awake by 3 - 4 AM. If I crash at 11 ish then I'm awake by4 or 5 AM.

I used to get up for work every day at 3:30 am. Since retiring last year I now sleep in to 6 or 7 am.

The human body was not designed to get up before 10 AM.. ever...

Of course, I rarely go to bed before 2 AM..
