People old enough to have suffered hearing loss might not be up yet.

Are you kidding?
The older we get, the less sleep we need (besides, we're looking for batteries for our hearing aids).

It's the kids who would sleep until lunch, if you let 'em.

I don't know about "need," but I certainly get less than I want, even with earplugs.
