Perseids next Wed nite/Thurs am -- hit the boonies!

Quick side question... I've been getting up in the middle of the night to check out the stars for years, never had a problem. The last couple years I get up, go outside, and the eyes can't focus the sky! anyone else? And yes, I have my glasses on. Wondering if it takes longer and longer for the eyes to focus when you wake up as you get older, or is it just me! I have not just sat there for an hour to see if they clear up, I just go back to bed.
