Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who’s up this late or this early??

I slept from 9 until about 1:15. I’m wide awake now, got to get up at 3:30, go to work.


I don’t sleep anymore than 4 or 5 hours anymore.

Just here watching live PD with my middle child.

Was thinking about Fieldgrade. I know he liked to watch the show also.

I don't sleep much anymore.

Can't lay down for any length of time, have to get up and sit.

minutes from bed,

It’s 11:45 here and I just threw another load of laundry in the dryer before bed. Watch WWII in color with the dogs sleeping on my wife sleeping on the couch. Both kids have a friend over for the night like they do most weekends. They hang out quietly in their rooms but occasionally come downstairs for some more food. 😁. I’m content knowing everyone is safe at home and we’re all together. I’ll sleep good once I decide to hit the rack. I don’t have any trouble getting my full 8 or 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. 😁

Fell asleep crossways on end of bed,ma ma covered me,tablet up under my arm,Mannix is on.its need to get back in bed the right way,lol.

Wife woke me up from a sound sleep and I just got up. Thought about getting out and seeing if the roads were iced up. Dog starts barking for no reason. Boy got up and went out and fed and watered here-again. Checked to see if she was warm and dry. She is silent now after chowing down on some premium shixt my pre-vet daughter says is the best. All quiet on the midwestern front now.

Wish I wasn't up this early. Getting harder and harder to sleep through the night.

Storm woke me up about an hour ago. Rain has slacked off, so I think I'll go see if there is any damage around the house.

Up at 3:30 - 4:00 everyday no alarm just wake up.

Got lucky fell back asleep for a while. Going to work for ten hours.

Why is it many of us don’t sleep well. I never recall this being a topic of conversation in my parents or grandparents.. most folks I talk to anymore don’t sleep. Is it the over saturation with news and media or the side effect of smart devices. Too much information!

Being old is part of the problem, my neighbor used to complain about not sleeping when he was my age. He is long gone, he was a tail gunner on a 17. He said the krauts would come out of the sun, come by so close, you could see their faces.

When schools in session I generally work 12 - 14 hour days and generally sleep about six hours, especially if I started the day with a bike ride and visit to the gym.

This morning I’m happy; woke up at 4:30, have time to kick back and drink coffee before heading out for a dawn 2hr hike with the dog.

Doorbell rang at 4:30 am, I was already awake, nobody there. Pistol and a flashlight and I walked around the outside of the house, looked under the deck and checked the outside vehicles, nobody.
Full moon so visibility is good and no snow on the ground for tracks. Still a mystery.

Winter time I get in a rhythm like an animal... sleep however long I sleep and then get up and go back and lay down when I get tired...I get enough sleep, but can't just lay down and get 8 hours like normal people can... but then other times I can lay down and sleep 10 or 12 hours..

Think the wife's and son's schedules have me like that..

son works 12 hour shifts at the hospital overnight Sat Sunday Monday...6PM to 7AM..

wife works from 4:30 AM to when ever she gets out at the Hospital..

I do crazy things like go do my grocery shopping at Wally World or Winco at 3 AM.. no crowds, plenty of stockers
and usually one check out counter and then two just standing around monitoring the self check out areas...

Ghost of Sitting Bull maybe... doing High School kid pranks?

Usually wake up about this time or earlier for work.

This morning planned on hunting. 70* @ 4:45. Think I’ll pass. Storm supposed move in in a couple hours. Though radar showing the pass will go northeast of us.

I didn’t hear or see a vehicle, might have been a case of mistaken address and they bugged out quickly, more than likely nothing to worry about.

Popped awake at 0300. Life is good.

If a doorbell rang at this time I'd be doing what you are doing. Be careful.
