Fun Fact: females have Testosterone Also.
Yeah, but if they have too much they get buzz cuts and a taste for short blondes.
Made myself stay awake until about 8:30 last night. I was still awake by 3AM this morning

Not in my world
I had to look and see what thread I was reading!Made myself stay awake until about 8:30 last night. I was still awake by 3AM this morning
I'm going that early too!! And I am up at 3am also!;
I still feel more rested than I do in the summer!!
I’m struggling a bit. We have been super busy at work too so feel like I’m not up to par.I had to look and see what thread I was reading!
I have extra jobs right now (holidays), not getting my nap either! That 6-10min nap is amazing!! The early dark throws everything off!!
Night before last, made myself stay awake and didn't sleep well. So last night, I went to bed at 7:30 and slept until almost 4 this morning. Feel almost human.
I’m still struggling to make it to 8pm. If I make myself stay up until 8-8:30, I’m waking up at midnight to 2 am. I’m up to about 7:30-7:45 and can sleep through the night. When I say my system is stubborn, I ain’t just a’whistlin Dixie.
I have been trying to stay up till around 10.
I sleep through the night and wake up feeling pretty good when I do.
A couple of days ago my wife and I both slept in till 9 AM.
That's a lot better than waking up at 4 AM.
Normally I wake up between 3 and 6.

No rhyme nor reason for me. Sometimes it is 2130 and I'm hitting the sheets. Other times it's 0230. Sometimes I wake up at 0430, can't go back to sleep, so I go downstairs and read a book until 0700. Then back to bed until 1100. Or not back to bed until the next night. I seem to be totally random. If I was forced to come up with some "average" to document, that would be something like to bed at 2330 and wake up at 0730. But I am so variable that I defy averaging. I'll often have a night with 5 or 6 hours total sleep that is then followed by a night with 10 hours total sleep. I can't determine why any given night is one over the other. Sometimes it seems like I'm up often to pee - maybe twice, other times I go through an entire long night without getting up once. Usually when I wake up in the middle of the night it is because of some minor "worry" that got my brain thinking and I can't shut it off to go back to sleep. That's where reading a book helps. Makes me forget what I was worried about. I either fall asleep quickly while reading, or I get engrossed in the story and read for hours. I used to get up and practice piano in the middle of the night if I couldn't sleep. It felt like I made good progress during those middle of the night sessions, but my teacher told me no, that was bad, and not a good way to practice.
A psychiatrist or a sleep specialist would have a field day with me.

Used to I would go to bed, be asleep within 5 to 10 minutes and sleep thru the night. Usually would be 7-9 hours. Now days I seem to have too much running thru my brain and can't shut it off. Might be work, might be just some random something. Once I do go out I might sleep till the alarm, others I wake up 3 or 4 times. Drives me nuts ( I know that a really short trip). But I end up knowing I'm gonna be tired and sleepy the next day. And that just makes it worse.
I replied with the laughing emoji because you made fun of me!
I think I finally made it to some realm of normalcy! 9-9:30 and sleeping (my kind of sleeping, very light and up a lot) until 4am!! I guess I should say Bear tries for 9-9:30 and sleeps until 4am!
I do very much the same thing. There is no rhyme or reason to it, except I never sleep through the night. I am always up two or three times to pee. Usually I can go back to sleep, but sometimes I can't. When I can't I either read or get on the computer. Pearl, God love her, will tease me about making comments at 3:00 in the morning. I am retired, so I don't have the work issues running through my head and keeping me awake. Being retired also allows me to nap almost any time I want, so I don't worry about my sleep habits. Sometimes the nap will be an hour. Sometimes it will be three hours. Those are the times I just figure my body needed the rest. Must be from that mechanical work I did all day, putting a rear end in a recliner.

I get up several times during the night to put wood on the fire. If it's not too cold I can close the damper and the stove will keep a fire all night, but won't put out much heat. A lot of times I end up sleeping on the couch to be closer to the fire. The wife sleeps all night no matter what.
Opposite in my house! This time of the year I don't have to get up to put wood on the fire, it will stay warm until 4am. But when we have our cold weather in February, I am the one up keeping the fire going, Hubby sleeps all night every night! You'd think living with me he wouldn't be able to sleep without one eye open!!

Yeah- going to bed early but also still waking up about 3:30 am. It’s all good you can laugh at me.I replied with the laughing emoji because you made fun of me!
When I sleep through the night, there are often times I wake up just as I fell asleep- not moving all night - not always, but it’s not uncommon for me.
Me too. Most of us old guys that used their prostate in their younger years, dance to the same tune
.As far as bedtime goes, I usually feel my best for the entire day, between 10pm and 1am and just don't want to shut it down.
