Yeah...getting older is why this bullshit happens.
I used to have deep, deep sleep and could sleep until 10am if my schedule permitted.
After I hit my 40s I always wake up at 5-6am. Always. Still tired, just can't fall back to sleep. Hate it.
I think those "up early" Dads and Grandpas are full of crap. They want to sleep in too, but their stupid old bodies won't let them, so they act like the're so awesome for being up early. At, least, that's what I do...
I think you are onto something. I fall asleep around 8 PM and wake up around 5 am. Not that I want to but I can be sitting in the couch and just fall asleep. It started happening in my late 30s. In my 20s, I would be out drinking till 4 am, go to bed, wake up after 3 hours and feel great. Old man issues are real :)
"Early bird gets the worm", or some other nonsense.
But the second mouse gets the cheese.
