Now that's a really interesting one. It's not about being unable to do something through ageing in the sense of not having the strength or something isn't working anymore.
I think I've stayed in bed past 8am once or twice in around 10 years and only because I was ill. Of course it likely means no late nights as well.
If I'm not up by 7am, it's because I'm listening to something particularly interesting on the radio.
I've had that problem for decades. I have someone's face in my mind and I just cannot put a name to them. But I know they were in a movie with another actor and I can't remember his name either but I know he was in a movie with someone else whose name I do remember.
So I go onto IMDB and find the movie for the person I do know the name of. I look through their list of movies to find the one they were in with the second one to get his name. So I then go through his movies to find the one with the first actor I was trying to name.
Before the internet/imdb I had a really big movies book where I could do something similar but I'd need the movie title first.
I used to work with a guy who I'd ask "who's that woman who was in that (genre film) with that bloke who co-starred in that movie about so-and-so that was on TV last Sunday?"
He'd look at me and say "You always do this," and then he'd come up with the name.
Well that's why I always did it as he'd follow my train of thought and tell me what I wanted.
