The changing definition of a late night out

I was out late last night. Until 9 PM. It's funny how the meaning of a late night out changes.

When I was in college, I and everyone else in my dorm always seemed in danger of becoming nocturnal. Now thanks to working a regular job, and being a little older (the ripe old age of 27!), I rarely stay out that late. When I do, I need some recovery time the next day.

Last night I met some friends for happy hour and grabbed dinner afterwards at The Parthenon (Gyro! Fry!). I felt like I had a pretty good night out, when I looked at the clock on my car as I left the parking garage downtown. I noticed it was only a little after 8:30.

While I'm on the subject of sleep schedules, where did my ability to sleep in go? I want it back. This morning I woke up at 6 AM. Why do I wake up earlier on weekends when I don't have my alarm clock set? Why?

As we age things do get strange, don't day?

I wish I had the days when I could stay out till 4am, and sleep till noon.

Now I go to bed at 4pm, and get up at midnight... :(
