Question: I am 80 years old and I have had this forever… I can’t remember when I didn’t have it, I remember I used to scrub my floors and do the wash… all at night when I “came alive.” When I have to get up early for something I am so worried that I can’t sleep. Then I end up not sleeping at all and then it’s Zombie time…Yet when that night rolls around here I am still awake and ready to paint or sew or computer like right now.
The worst part is people don’t believe you thinking you are lazy or weird and say “oh you can change its just a habit. Well I have never been able to become a “LARK” I am destined to be an “OWL” for what is left of my life. So finally I found a place to share, with people who understand.Kevin: Indeed you have Jackie, indeed you have. Remember, if you’re going to remain an owl, you do not have to be a *poor* owl. Try to set up a lifestyle for yourself that still lets you get enough sleep, just not at the same time most other people are sleeping. This may take some equipment such as blackout curtains (Amazon), but reducing the amount of “zombie time” can still be done.Good luck in doing so!Kevin
