I just hope when I retire I can lose this internal clock. I can't seem to sleep past 0600 on the weekends.

I have been retired for 2 yrs and I still wake up before 0600 everyday.

Same here - if I'm in bed past 0600 on the weekends I feel guilty for being "lazy".

1SG Thomas, good luck! I retired in 2006 and I still get up early, normally around 5 or 5:30, even on weekends. I have just now gotten to the point where I can SOMETIMES manage to stay in bed until 7 on the weekends. Just too many years of getting up early.
