I wonder if I will ever wake up properly

Since I am retired there is no real problem what time I wake up in the morning. As a general rule I tend to remain in bed until after 10 AM most days, unless I have somewhere special to be at a certain time.
Last night I was on Mylot until well after 2 AM, which is unusual for me but no real concern because I was enjoying it. It was obvious that I would end up in bed until a little later today, but I was very surprised when I awoke and realised it was 1 PM.
Oh well, ay least I missed some rain today. Now all that I have to do is finally wake up completely.

@MarshaMusselman This could well be because if I had not been waiting for hospital appointments I would probably be elsewhere right now.

@Asylum Or maybe it thinks you are on Holiday since you are retired and all.

Sounds like my husband, unless he has some place to go, he will stay in bed as long as he can. Of course since he is retired he is a big help in helping me clean the house, but that job is so little next to working 8 plus hours a day.

Lately my work and sleep hours is totally off. I am working at times up to 20 hours and getting a few hours sleep from this mess I am cleaning up. But when the sun rises and the rooster crow my little puppy Cheyanne that I bought with me is on top of me licking me and biting my hair and ears.
I can lend her to you for a few weeks to be your new alarm clock.

@Asylum The little one is sure to wake you at 5 in the morning. No matter if it is dark or not outside. Cheyanne wants to play by this time and is telling me to get up otherwise she will pee in the house and she knows she can't. She is just 7 weeks old and almost all house broken now so this is a good thing for me.

My life works like the clock - same time everyday no matter what it is. I can never think of sleeping that late. By then I would be attending to so many chores around.

@Asylum What about your real world connections that may want you around?

@arthurchappell I am afraid we differ vastly there because I found Star Wars to be absolutely hopeless. I never even managed to watch the whole of the one film that I tried.

I wish I could at least stay in bed until the sun comes up. But that seems to be a no go for me.

@fishtiger58 That is not likely to happen to me, especially at this time of year when it is dark and cold in the morning.

I am curious to hear who were the friends which were there to give you company till 2 am (of course due to time difference, you would have found some friends to interact). Getting up at almost noon shows that you were very tired and you slept till afternoon and probably missed your breakfast etc.

@dpk262006 It did slow down a little prior to that time, but there was still enough activity to occupy me and maintain some interest.

@Asylum You mean to say that you remained busy interacting with friends till 2 a.m. ?
