are we getting old ? just asking , i realize just because i watch old YV late night and visit here at commercials yall arent doing the same , im just wondering on others habits - life changes but my internet visits were always nights , ive been on these gunsights for decades and before i retired mostly on at night - late - because that was when i had some idle time , 

now im retired and not a lot has changed i guess , im still on late - but used to be others were too

I’m still up late, always worked late, and much as you say this is among my little bit of down time.

I go to bed early but sometimes I wake up as early as 3:00 a.m. and get online then.  We might be just missing each other.

That’s me too, going to bed around 9 but wake up all hours of the night. Sometimes I give up trying to get back to sleep and get up at 4 AM.  

Last night, I took some antihistamine and managed to sleep thru most of the night.

Go to bed at 10.00 pm.

Wake up at 2:00 to 3:00 to drain the Dragon.

Get up 7:00 to 8:00.

If I hear noise during the night I do a walk about in the house and look at my outdoor cameras.

Most times, I can't even stay awake to watch a whole NHL hockey game, then I wake up 2 hours later and try to fall asleep again. That is usually a futile attempt at best. I tried melatonin but it didn't help.

I've always had this thing. If I'm up past 11:30 or so then I'm up half the night.
Then I got put on Water-pills.
Now I'm woken up every 2 hours all night & that no longer applies.
Unhappy

Being on a different continent, puts me out of time with most of you guys. 
Week days I generally look in at lunch time, or in the evening. Weekends depends on how busy we are.

Used to.work twelve hours shifts. Something times also on the weekend. Made a great paycheck.

Still get phone calls from work on old and odd press setup.

Had to go in two or there times sends I left almost two years ago.

Got paid very well for it.

No one ever reads set up and build sheets.

Most nights I am in bed between 8 and 9. Up at 4 in the morning. I struggle to stay up late anymore.

that was me 10+ years ago , i would be working 12-16hrs weekdays and get on line posting between paperwork late nights , today im on at home and post at commercials during my regular evening shows , i also would be on sat/sun when i went into the office - i didnt have a home computer , my wife did , since just before my first retirement ive had a good friend here in IT that has made shure i had a greeat computer at home , first was an HP that was superb , with printer , second after that Op Sys went obsolete he updated me with an excellent sony , 

both laptops still work but they are limited now by age , hes going to set me up with a new notebook with current op sys becase the sony is starting to bog down , they both have photos i want to keep , hes going to help me transfer stuff 

so i may in the next month reach out to a few to help me get new rig logged on - i had trouble with both of these till i got help , 
there are a few sites i never got back on and i dont miss them much , this one i would , my rimfire i would and my SASS wire i would , i use these daily
