But on the other side, I think, it's normal, not to sleep through, when you drank really enough through the day (2 to 2 1/2 litres). Normally, the bladder wakes me up after six hours. If I would sleep through (circa 7 hours), I would have drank not enough, through the day.
But this is the advantage of a smaller rental-flat (47,1 m²). Bathroom is just a couple of meters away.
You know you are getting old when you
start using empty tennis ball cans by your bedside because you are too cold
and tired to make the trip to the bathroom which now is an all night affair
especially in the winter months.
You could trip and fall exiting our bedroom and would land in our "master" bathroom because it's so close. But I still walk to the opposite end of our house to use the "half" bathroom because the master bathroom doubles as our dog's bedroom and I don't want to disturb him in the middle of the night just so I can urinate. If only he'd extend the same courtesy...But on the other side, I think, it's normal, not to sleep through, when you drank really enough through the day (2 to 2 1/2 litres).

By the way, six hours? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but before you know it you'll be counting your blessings if you can get two hours of sleep before "the call of nature" wakes you up.
That is a GREAT photo.....!!When you were young & in love....

Nothing else mattered!
Sorry for a wikipedia link ... I'm lazy.

Ogle Winston Link (December 16, 1914 – January 30, 2001).
Hotshot Eastbound (1956), taken at the drive-in theater in Iaeger, West Virginia, was used in Link's book Steam, Steel & Stars. This is one of Link's best-known photographs.
Link's images were always meticulously set up and posed, and he chose to take most of his railroad photographs at night. He said "I can't move the sun — and it's always in the wrong place — and I can't even move the tracks, so I had to create my own environment through lighting." Although others, including Philip Hastings and Jim Shaughnessy, had photographed locomotives at night before, Link's vision required him to develop new techniques for flash photography of such large subjects. For instance, the movie theater image Hotshot Eastbound (Iaeger, West Virginia), photographed on August 2, 1956 [negative NW1103], used 42 #2 flashbulbs and one #0 fired simultaneously. Link, with an assistant such as George Thom, had to lug all his equipment into position and wire it up: this was done in series so any failure would prevent a picture being taken at all; and in taking night shots of moving trains the right position for the subject could only be guessed at. Link used a 4 x 5 Graphic View view camera with black and white film, from which he produced silver gelatin prints.
That ship sailed for me when the classic rock stations started playing Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, AC/DC, KISS, Aerosmith, Van Halen, and the other groups that were popular in the mid-70s. Now they're playing music from the 90s for cryin' out loud.You know you are getting old when the local "classic rock" radio station is playing metal and grunge from when you were in middle school and high school.
HAHA....Ya, we always had a trunk full....lolWe were young and mostly went to the "Dollar-a-Carload" night.
Otherwise, when it was $2 per person...we would devise a way for everyone to get in.
Back then...the trunks were pretty roomy!
