I don't really know whether she sucks or you do. But I've voted she does so you've got more ammo. Us oldies need all the solidarity we can get.

2) Her job in a childcare/family centre is really difficult (baby massage and setting out cookies) and 9pm on a friday night for a hard working 24yo is a stretch. Old bastids like me should try and understand the pressures of a younger generation

As I said, just for fun, so when she wakes up I have some ammo to tease further with. No need for any harsh or overly rude comments in either direction -my wife is a lovely woman who does much for all of the people in her life. She deserves no abuse whatsoever. I should be half as decent as she is.
Lets face it you are an old f&rt grumpy old man with an old f&rts attitude.
Whatever next?Soon you will be having a mid life crisis and going off to do trackdays and stuff like that.Then it will be front fork conversions to help you keep up with the youngsters.

Personally, I go to bed at midnight, sometimes half midnight, and I'm up at 620 to get to work for 730.

Sometimes I am tired, yes, but I prefer it. If I get up at 9 and go into work at 10 I'll feel even more tired..

I've never really needed more than 5 hours sleep. I quite regularly go to bed at 1am and get up for work at 5-30 then do 200 miles worth of driving and work, then repeat the same cycle for the rest of the week. Even at weekends I'll wake up at 5-30 and go back to bed when I realise I have nothing to get up that early for.

It's been like that since I was about 30, before that I struggled to get out of bed before 10am even if I went to bed before midnight

Not true. The average amount of sleep that most adults get is 8 hours. That doesnt mean that the recommended amount of sleep is 8 hours. Every individual is different and can function fine on different amounts of sleep. Some people only need 4 hours, others need 8 and some require more. So the whole 8 hours thing is a myth.

I think working in a nursery would be very hard, I mean who'd want to look after other peoples' kids, looking after my own (one's enough) is a nightmare and if I have her all day I'm spent by 6pm

Yeh actually studies have shown that you have the lowest mortality risk if you sleep between 6-7hours. I'm completely screwed then cos I'm usually 10 hours if not more.

+1 for that thought.

Sorry dude, I think it's just the way she is. Myself, I have to force myself to bed before midnight, getting up in the mornings is just a struggle, whoever it was who gets up 6.30am, I'd love to be able to, but I haven't the willpower. Also, her job I'd think is physically tiring, and that's always a recipe for sleeping lots. Unlike stressful, or mentally tiring work, where you have to wait for your brain to stop spinning before you can even contemplate sleep.

Talking Re: Are younger people lame?

I'm 30, my wife (also a nursery worker) turns 31 on Sunday.
She is always sleepy, napping after work if our 3yr old allows.
I get up around 5.30 (snooze button gets used from 5-5:30 driving her mad) and often don't go to sleep until after the witching hour.

Oddly, if she doesn't go to bed before me (6 week school holidays etc) I find it very hard to drop off until she's in the sack

Must be a child career thing?

Do I fall under young or old at 30 (n.b. say old & I'll come after you with my zimmer).

p.s. She is also a super woman whom I could not imagine not being with
