OK, so as of now I'm working 4pm to 1am, by the time I get home it's about 2am and I'm dead tired. How do those of you who work find the time to still play CoV/CoH? As of lately I haven't been able to find the time, go to sleep at 2am and wake up at 12pm and have to get ready for work.

It's a matter of priorities and what you do and when you do it. First, you implied that you sleep 10 hours. I sleep about 6 hours during the week. If you need it; then do sleep. I had insomnia for a year and a half so sleep is a priority to me. I just dont do the 'standard' 8 hours per night because I dont need it and I feel rested without it: YMMV.
You also state that you get up at noon and get ready for work at 4pm. Even my wife doesnt take that long to get ready, but I understand that you do have other things to do: housework, errands, shopping, showering, etc. On your schedule I would probably still squeak in at least 2 hours on any given day. Then there are the weekends. There are some folks who only play on weekends depending on scheduling conflicts.
Sadly, and for no other reason than I like the quote and believe in it; Paul of Tarsus put it best:
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:11
New responsibilities take from our time to play, but dont worry. Time Management is always a pain; you'll find a way.
Thus endeth Sap's Sermonette.
Dont hate me because I'm COLORFUL.

lol I know, I need the sleep though cuz the training is such a bore it drains your energy in the first few hours, I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, but when I can I'm going to start working 10 hour days plus overtime, that way I can have an extra day off work, until then and until I can get a better set on my priorities I guess I will wait to play on mon and tues.

Sheesh, you're better at setting priorities than I. Just ask BD, or ViV, or VV or... well, you get the idea. Sometimes we gotta take it in the shorts to make a living so we can keep playing. But it's a living. Have fun when you play and it will all work out fine.

Well, working a FT job, plus teaching Martial Arts classes 2 days a week, plus new kiddies, plus family/husband/father/house duties....
Geez, where do i get time to play????
Well, I found that in everything you do, you need at least an hour a day to yourself to do with, what ever you need to focus/refocus yourself. I usually find this time when i get home. I get the kids settled (as i pick them up from school), fed, entertained (reading, writing, drawing, singing, playing, etc.) and I spend about an hour a day in the game, during the week. On the weekends, I play whenever i can (I usually get up at 5-6am and play until someone wakes up or it's time for me to go to Sword class). You'll be amazed the time you can find for yourself when you put your mind to it.
But yes, my play time has been greatly diminished over the years, but with responsibilities comes the tough decisions. You'll manage...and remember, you can finish a mission in about 15-30 minutes. Now, if you got into the speed leveling (ghosting through missions just for the mission bonuses) you'll be surprised at the outcome in your leveling ability.
