Time you rise, and Time you descend?

I go to bed around 1:30am, and usually manage to wake at 9:00am.

those are my sons hours.  i try to make it to bed before 10:00pm and earlier if tired.  but, lately, i've been waking up again in the middle of the night.  so, then i get up at 6:00 am - do something (dishes/laundry whatever) and then, go back to sleep for an hour or two.  i would like to have a regular cycle again.  how to do this?  my aunt suggested hrt (hormone replacement therapy).  that sounds 'old' to me.  i think i'll suffer.

Recently up at 6:30-7AM, down around midnight.

From here they gradually shift later and later until I'm completely screwed up.  In the AM I love sleep, by the PM I'm avoiding it as far as possible.

You ride like me Pianistimo, I'm not fond of being passed.  Only once going up a mountain with an athletic girl, I was nearly puking trying to keep up with her.  It was the most fun

Next time I'm in PA we'll have a race uphill.  I'll go until my knees explode!

[pianistimo]

ok.  it's a plan.  i can keep up with most cyclists on hills.  i found the secret is weaving in and out.  it gives you a competitive edge so that nobody can pass you even if you are slower on the hills.  seriously, i do a very slight weave because it keeps the momentum up long hills.  if you just take it straight up - it IS harder on your knees.

watch out on the flat areas, though.  i was probably going 60 mph today in a thin straight line.  i think i'm ready for a woman's navy seals program in cycling.  strange that i cannot do this with swimming or jogging - but cycling is very easy on my knees.  today - after so much cycling though - i am hobbling down the stairs.  i sort of do this limp jump thing.

exercise is good for regulating sleep.

Ideally, left to myself, I gravitate to sleeping around midnight to 8:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. On working days this shifts forward to 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. There are times when I need more sleep and times when I need less; I just adjust accordingly. I never get up during the night though, unless I have too many cups of tea at supper of course. Once I am down I stay down. I seldom remain awake for more the a few minutes after getting into bed and tend to get up as soon as I wake.

I am unable to get into the habit of going to bed when I feel tired. I have a really comfy sofa and what normally happens is I fall asleep on it whilst watching TV. This can be anwhere between 10:30pm- midnight. I wake up around 1am +/- an hour or two, brush my teeth, then go to bed.
My alarm is set for 6:48 am and I am normally out of bed at 6:55am

I thought you would understand that joke.

No idea how she is today. I saw her yesterday and don't want to appear pushy.

I go to bed around 1:30am, and usually manage to wake at 9:00am.

Same for me, only I get up at 8AM during the academic year.

Sometimes I stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning; best time of day, imo.
