48 Signs That Made People Realize They Are Getting Old

When you were a kid, you could stay up until all hours of the night and never get tired. So that’s what most of us did. When I was in college, I knew the location and hours of every late-night restaurant in the entire metropolitan area, so no matter what time of the night or morning we decided we needed pancakes, we had a place to get them.

These days, I won’t leave my house later than 9:00 PM unless there’s a fire. I’m much happier curling up with a book or a TV show late at night. The magical draw of a late-night Denny’s run no longer competes with the magical draw of my comfortable bed.
