I know we all come from different parts of the world and in different time zones. I live in Central Time Zone. How many night owls are there? I worked night shift 30 years. I never thought it would affect my sleep pattern once I retired. I was wrong. If I go to bed at a decent hour (9pm-10pm), I'm up by 2am and my nights shot. Anyone else have that problem? The good news is it's quiet and you have time to think.

It's early morning in the UK. 5;20 to be precise. One thing that I have discovered in old age is, the body's ability to make and store urine. Can't get through the night without at least two trips to the bathroom and I'm talking about a pathetic dribble. For someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I can gush a gallon.
I know the feeling. I'm on a water pill and that doesn't help.

I find it hard to sleep past 3-5 hours, no matter what time I go to bed. I do go to bed later rather than early tho. I love being awake while all around me are sleeping and their houses are dark. I go sit out on my porch and enjoy the solitude.
I forgot that song. It's a good one. I always liked Little River Band.Little River Band were the Night Owls

At the doctor's recently I happen to mention my sleep pattern. He said: "Listen, if you ever expect to cure your insomnia, you just have to stop taking your troubles to bed with you."
"I know," I replied, "but I can't, my wife refuses to sleep alone."

Certified night owl, most of my life. Except for when I worked day shift.
When I was pre-kindergarten age, I carried the radio everywhere. Loved the rock music of the times. Used to love when college was out, the good music was on late night!
And for a good part of my life, I've been a night owl. Like now, there's me, my cat and music on youtube, and spider soliaire. And peace. After what I lived in married life, I deserve this. Peace and Quiet. (headphones for music).

I'm a night owl. I work 3-11 and I'm usually home and online around midnight. I go to bed between 2 and 4.

Knot eye! 
I get up at 4 a.m. and am definitely a worm-catcher.

I’m like an old cat or dog, I eat and sleep when i need to eat and sleep.
I enjoy being up at night when the rest of the world is asleep.
I miss the pre pandemic days when some of the local big box stores were open all night.

I spent over 34 years working 12 hour shifts that rotated every few days... Retired 3 years and still rare to sleep a full night.
