Ha!  Im only 61 and I have a alarm clock 3 times a night. 

That reminds me of a good one...

Three older, retired gents became close friends having breakfast at the diner every morning at 9AM. One was 65, one was 70,  and the eldest was 75. One day the 65yo didn't arrive till 9:15, and promptly began griping about getting old. 

"I've had to get up at 2AM to pee every night for a month now. Sometimes I have trouble getting back to sleep, and that 
makes me late getting up. Sorry guys."

The 70yo piped up and said, "Just wait, it gets worse. I have to get up at 2AM to pee also, but then I have to get up again at 3:30 to poop."

The 75yo, having experienced those issues long ago just grinned and said, "Guys, I have good news. It will get better. I have to pee at 2AM and poop at 3:30 just like you, but I don't get up till 8.

The older I get, the more I hate the jacking around with the time.  Fall really sucks, end up waking an hour early and tossing around till alarm time.  Takes till about Jan to get over that.

My schedule is pretty regular.  Mon-Fri, wake at 5:40, bed by 9:30 during Standard time.  Pretty much the same during Daylight saving time, but usually outside till dark.

If I had my way, it would be Standard Time all of the time, but, as usual, Congress dicked that up.

I like Standard Time.

Hey you take an 8 foot board, cut off 1 foot glue it on the other end . What do you have?

I hate standard time with a passion.

Of course if you don't have a job with set hours it doesn't matter.

We had Stander Time when I was young. Get off work at 5 couple hours later it was dark.

Get out of Drive In at 5 . Go eat be home about light.

Chopping Beans and Cotton start at daylight quit at 4. Way it is now just don’t worry start at daylight quit at 3.

Now go to bed at 9 in Summer it is still light.

Never thought about that.

With the possible exception of guides and gigilos, everyone is already depressed driving to work.
