I retired after 35 years of teaching mathematics. I work part tome at a pet resort now. I go to bed at 10:30 and I am still awake at 5:00. I have found that I have been making mistakes because I am so tired. I am a perfectionist, and I hate that I do not have control over my life. I am constantly exhausted. This is no way to live.

I’m assuming your normal wake up time for the better part of those 35 years was around 5am and that your body is still used to it. It can take a LOT of time. My Father was the same way after he retired. Woke at 4:30am for pretty much the last 20 yrs of his career. These days the latest he is up is 6-6:30am. It’s a new life adjustment for you. I feel in time you will adjust.

Hello Jrehark and thanks for your post. You mentioned that you go to bed at 10:30 PM. What time do you usually get out of bed to start your day? Is there any consistency with that final out of bed time in the morning? If you looked at your sleep over a period of say, one or two weeks, what would you say your average nightly sleep duration is?
