    When I hit 50 I just sort of started liking going to bed at like 9 or 10. It never occurred to me that my preference should be forced onto others like this guy insists.

    It isn't hard to remember how late I stayed up all the years prior. Why would I think other people in their 20s or 30s would feel like a 50 year old man?

      Same thing happened to me at 30 or so. When your waking hours consist of work and recovering from work, I think you just naturally develop a preference for sleep.

      uh probably because a quarter of us are prematurely aged from long-COVID and now get palpitations if we stay up for 24 hours
