Here’s the thing about Dolly Parton: she’s not your typical retiree. While most people dream of the day they can finally clock out for good, Dolly? Not so much. The iconic country music star told People magazine that retirement isn’t even on her radar. “I never think about retiring,” she said with her signature charm. “I just hope I fall dead in the middle of a song—hopefully one I wrote—right on stage. I figure I’ll sleep when I’m dead. At this rate, I will be soon!”
Now, that might sound intense to some of us, but you’ve got to hand it to Dolly. She’s living life on her own terms, and that’s something we can all admire. In fact, the legendary singer of “Jolene” admitted that sleep isn’t exactly a priority for her these days. She wakes up at 3:00 a.m. every single morning. “Sleep is no big deal to me,” she shared. “The older you get, the less you need it. I’ve got too much to do!”

It turns out there’s a method to Dolly’s early-rising madness. “I get more done by seven in the morning than most people get done all day because it’s quiet time,” she explained. “I spend a lot of time in the mornings with my meditation, my prayers, and talking to God. It’s a peaceful way to start the day, and it sets the tone for everything else.” Can we all take a page out of Dolly’s book? She’s living proof that starting your day right can make all the difference.

We’ve been together most of our lives, and we still find joy in the little things.”
The Simple Life: Dolly and Carl’s Love Story
