@Poppies I'm stuck in a sleep cycle that started before Vickie passed. I literally retired a month we were put in lockdown for the pandemic. We got in the habit of watching her favorite TV shows on Start TV. If you don't know it every show has female leading characters. The Closer, Major Crimes, Rizzoli and Isles, The Ghost Whisperer are some examples. Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman was her favorite show which was on at 2 and 3 in the morning. I don't think it's currently on the channel but they rotate. So we started a late night routine from about 4am to noon sleeping. After she passed I kept the same routine but changed TV shows. Not because I didn't like them I couldn't watch them without her. The difference is I now sleep until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I do nap some days but too long when I do. I don't have any reason to try to transition to my old working schedule. There's nothing in the morning for me. My dog is even on my schedule for going out. He's been doing it since April 2020.

@Gibbon my husband's schedule is something like yours. I say it is like living with someone who is on California time, only he's here in the east with me. Drives me crazy! But it has rubbed off on me a little, not too much.

@Poppies We are both in the East so we get to see the sun first.
