Interesting - Due to avg age expectancies I've assumed I will pass far sooner, and when I retire she will support me! If I show her this theory I'm doomed!

sleepiness increases proportionally with age


as shown in this graph

i think its great the the GF falls asleep about 11pm that gives me 4-5hours to do what i want so i can go work on the bike in the garage (heated) or play COD or wach gory films or porn lol and she never realises

ohh and she talks in her sleep so i have lots of ammo to take the **** out of her with

LOL, my wife is normally a late owl but while pregnant she's regularly been out like a light by 10pm.

I am 26 and I really struggle to stay awake past 10pm. If iam doing something interesting I can stay up all night otherwise i'm asleep.

On the other hand I wake at 6.30am withou fail, even if I go to be at 3am. Iam an early to bed early up person, I hate to waste a day.

I hate going to bed too early, but i also, like you, get up early as well.
I also hate wasting the day, some nights when i get home i'll fall asleep after my dinner for 15 mins or so then i'll go to bed around 12-12.30.
Funnily enough what you said about doing something, if i play my PS3, i could stay awake all night, put a DVD on and ill be asleep by 10.30pm.
Mr wife goes to bed most nights by 10, we hardly ever go to bed at the same time.
IMO, some people need more sleep than others, 6 hrs is enough for me, my wife needs 8 hrs.
For example, i went to bed at 2.am this morning, i have been up now since 7.30am.
BTW, che, i also turn 40 this year

Peg still has you slaving away in the kitchen at 10:20pm? Good man

I'm a 10:30pm kinda guy these days, at the grand old age of 46. Mind you, I am in work at 7:00am each day, so have an excuse.

I'd be lucky if I could sleep all night, and I've a long way to go yet. Had restless sleep with the last one, but that was in the last three months.

When I'm on nights I sleep a few hrs after my last shift, so thats 6.30am til around 12, then once I'm up I generally find I can't sleep until 1.30am!
Nights makes your sleep patterns very odd, although I generally make sure I have 8 hrs no matter what I'm doing.

As I am probably one of the oldest on here I found it very hard to stop waking up at 4:30-5:00am after doing it for 30+years. I have finally managed to get myself into the 11:00pm-7:00am slot,not a lot of benefit during the dark mornings[winter] but at least when the good weather is here I have the whole day to decide what I want to do.
I find that if I stay in bed for longer than 8hrs I have a stinking headache,but apart from holidays or special occassions 11:00pm for me,yawning my head off by then
I know different people have varying sleep patterns but I have never managed to fathom why people want to stay up till 3-4 o'clock in the morning and then loose half the day sleeping.
For a while I did an 8 on 8 off job and that screwed my up completely and I was so knackered after 5 days I could sleep for 16hrs easy.

Bring on the sunshine

N.B. Dizzy---How come when your "Old man" goes away he is full of beans at 11:30-12:00 o'clock at night,willing to trail the streets looking for a kebab or chips and curry sauce
