Hi David: I got in the habit of studying in college from about 9PM until about 2AM, usually rising in time for early 8AM classes. This persisted through grad school and, now, into retirement. I rarely go to bed before midnight, with about 1:30AM being the norm and am up usually by 7:30AM. My brain seems to function best late at night, but it seems to best less productive as I age...what's that all about? I thought that pattern would change with retirement...it didn't. However, the good news is that I found out I'm very good at retirement! Jack, W8TEE

Jack, I wish I could sleep at 4:30 AM but my body has been waking me up at that time since high school. ?That was the only time in my home (life) that other folks and ¡°things¡± were quiet and no bothers. ?Also I could study better in college and Med school early. ?Then work. ?So in retirement the old pattern in my body still is on the old clock. ?I really love it as it¡¯s so quiet and I can get a lot done before my wife wakes up. ?Bad part is I get the nods at 9:00 PM but have little pills for that if we are out socially. ?The sleep lab doc couldn¡¯t believe how fast I could go back to sleep so he kept me the next morning for additional tests. ?Thus the Rx for the little white pills. ?Only had insomnia twice in my life and that was under extreme duress when changing jobs. ? And if I go back to sleep I sleep harder and wake up with a headache. But the CW bands are really nice, clear, slow, and I meet many very congenial fellows. ? Dave K8WPE David J.
