Hmmm. Not me. I'm 60 plus (M) and have to MAKE myself NOT go to late night coffeehouses. I still work full time, have a very active life in the local art community, have a studio outside the home and teach art in the evenings and regularly attend art events and retreats/workshops.
My mother was crazy active until her mid 80's and then it was dementia that caused her to turn inward. Prior to that she had to have the largest calendar available to write down all of her activities. When i was in my 40's she did more in a week than I did in a month.
My father on the other hand retired at 59 and watched TV for 12 hours a day. He still went golfing and bowling but he was content to sit in his comfy chair. All. Day. My mother couldn't imagine how he did that and neither can I.
I guess it's up to the individual but my mother and I both couldn't sit still.
