I'm one of those folks that's just wired for nights...I'm 56, and if I have to get up before noon, I am NOT happy...but staying up past 2am? No problem! Hell, just switched to a 6pm-1am shift at work, because then I can sleep 'properly'...for me, at least!

I’m 75 next month. I am up most nights till 1:00 or 1:30, good books till 2:00. (My earliest classes as undergraduate were at 11AM. Grad school? Sanskrit from 8:30-10AM MWF. O. M. F. G.) Early mornings are 9AM and I hate that.

8:00 pm is early for WorldCon parties. I am not young, and my friend dragged me to a few. Fabulously fun, with non-stop food & drinks, but the late nights almost did me in.

I vaguely remember when the fun stuff didn’t get started until then but these days I wouldn’t consider any of that same stuff “fun.”

A friend recently invited me out. She wanted to leave the house at ten. AT TEN. PM. Lady I would DIE
