I stopped working when I was 57 and had worked 27 companies during those years, withing all the time zones to start. I have trained myself to go to sleep at anytime I lay down in bed to go to sleep.

It's common for sleep patterns to change as we get older or as health conditions progress. Many members of the MyEpilepsyTeam community have noticed changes in their sleep over time, often with more insomnia or earlier waking. The shift you describe from staying up late to going to bed around 8:30 pm and waking early sounds like a significant change. It could be related to age, medication side effects, or other factors. If the altered sleep is concerning or causing issues, checking with your doctor may help determine if there's an underlying cause that needs attention.

No difference in my sleep pattern because I have worked so many kinds of jobs with different schedules I can sleep whenever.

I used to kind of have a sleep pattern where everyday I had a seizure I would wake up about 4 hours early the next morning and not be able to fall back asleep. It got to where every morning I woke up early I would tell my mom “I had a seizure yesterday didn’t I?” The answer was always yes.
