Early to bed, Early to rise

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy and wise. Is this still true in retirement? I'm giving it my best shot to find out. My father always said that if a man weren't up by daybreak he was lazy. It's not like I have to plow and feed the farm animals and worse have a job to show up for. But still there is something mystical to get to watch the sun come up and contemplate early in the morning the vagaries of life. Those vagaries can sometimes slip up on you and I like to be prepared.
