Why Do People Sleep Late?

There are 4 of us living in our house and only one is a "woman folk" (that'd be me). But all 4 love to sleep late. Justin would stay up all night and then sleep all day if I'd let him. Keith is ready for bed by about 10:30, but he'll sleep till noon every chance he gets. Walt needs the most sleep of all of us. He turns in about an hour before I do and would sleep until 10 or 11 if he could. I am a terrible night owl. He have to force myself to get off of the computer or to stop cleaning or whatever I'm doing so I can get to bed. If I make it to bed by 11:00, I've done good. But I never fall asleep right away. I read for an hour or two in the bed. Then I'd sleep until 9 or 10 if I could. On Saturdays I do

Before we were married I worked 3rd shift in the nursing homes. THAT was perfect for me! I LOVED it!!

I'm a morning bird. Like to go to bed early and rise early.

I do NEED my 8 hours of sleep. I can get by with less for a day or so and then it is catch up time.

But my energy is usually gone by noon so I have to get all I can get done in the morning. Even if I try and pace it, I am still tired my noon.
