Interesting. I know most people my age wake up early, and I was always told, "Oh, just wait, when you get to be a certain age you won't be able to sleep past dawn". But that has never happened. I'm a night owl and rarely go to sleep before midnight or later, and can sleep until 8 or 9 or even later. Nor can I nap during the day. l also need about 8-9 hours of sleep a night. My circadian rhythm means that if I can't get 8-9 hours, I actually do better on 5-6 hours than 7 hours, which is deadly for me- I feel like a zombie all day if I get woken up after 7 hrs of sleep.
