I keep what might be called a "non-traditional" sleep schedule. I am nocturnal by nature, and I am lucky enough to have found a job that fits right in with that, so I live and work and cook and clean from about mid-afternoon through sunrise, and then go to sleep. I've read several trip reports about long-distance Amtrak (and other) routes and have seen things like being called to breakfast, turn-down of bunks, lights out, those sort of things. Not all of those were necessarily on Amtrak trains, but it got me thinking.
While I am able to exist during "normal people" hours when necessary, I tend to be grumpy about it. As, I think, most people do when they find it necessary to adjust their sleeping hours. So if I were to book a bedroom/roomette on an Amtrak LD train, would I be expected to sleep when everyone else does, and wake up for breakfast with everyone else, or would I be able to sleep when I normally sleep (daytime)?
