Once upon a time, though, I partied all night. Now I think "for what?" I can barely remember any of it.

Then I went back to school, got my degree, got an office job and became a daylight person. Since I retired, I've reverted back to a night owl which I never saw coming. Funny how that went.

I tend to have more energy after 6 pm. While in the AF, I used to get to work around 6:30 or 7 am and leave for home around 6 pm. Since I retired, I tend to sleep-in in the morning getting up around 9 am and going to be around 12 midnight.

I have a lot more energy as it gets dark. Been like this all my life. And I have horrible insomnia.

If someone told me I had to go back to work and do an 8:00 to 5:00 job, I think I'd kill myself.

My mom used to joke that she had to hit me over the head to make me sleep at night. Now that I am older, I tend to go bed by midnight rather than after 2a.m. (or later, lol), and get up about 8ish instead of ten or noon (usually on my days off).

I do not function at all in the morning, or even in the early afternoon. My father used to get so mad at me for staying up into the wee hours on school nights. I never could get my parents to admit it, but I've always known I'm descended from vampires. Lucky I got a job that let me work nights, 45 years for a morning newspaper, retired 10 years ago. We put out the next morning's paper in the evening.

There is something magical about the dark.

Your imagination works overtime.

It is quiet and peaceful.

I love the night.

I have worked all shifts, I can enjoy day and night. But I love sunshine, I am mentally and physically better during the day. I recently started a part-time job, I get up at 3am, so I can be at work by 5am, and I absolutely love it. Out of work at 9am most days, and I still have almost all day off.

For most of my life, I worked the graveyard shift. It was great. No supervisors and management to create chaos, so we could just concentrate on getting the job done. Always more productive than the day shift.

I'm prone to migraines when it's too bright out so I like darkness. I HATE Daylight Savings Time, especially in the summer when it's light until almost 10 pm.
