Judging by last night, there may be something to this early-to-bed, early-to-rise thing.
In bed by 11 p.m. Up by 5:50 a.m. At work by 7:30 a.m. For a guy who has more than once gone to bed after 1 a.m. in the morning, this is really weird.
Maybe I should be listening to these early risers after all. I don’t feel the heavy slog over me like usual. I can think clearer, feel a little happier and am getting things done.
I won't be needing this. I think.
It’s normally not like this. Most nights, I allow distractions to get the best of me and I succumb to indolence. I allow myself to move from one unimportant task to another, mostly with the television on.
Oh I can justify it, I keep telling myself. The world will come to a halt if I don’t get that email sent. I really should download that meaningless app after I check that site one more time.
You can understand the night owl, can’t you? There’s something to be said to working at night with most of the house silent. After a day of insanity, the quiet can be such an aphrodisiac. But a person can pay a heavy price the next morning.
It’s about 8:20 a.m. now. Suddenly the eyelids feel heavier now and I can feel the life getting sucked out of me.
Oh well. It was good while it lasted.

I am not a morning person, not ever! Since my Ems has started 2nd grade, and has to be on the bus by 7:15am, I find myself seeing 6:00 on the clock more and more, and really, I have come to enjoy it. It took time though, I encourage you to keep it up.

Like JaeJay, I am not a morning person in the slightest! I can go to bed at 10pm and I will still have a hard time getting up. I have to get up to get kids up and ready for school and it is hard. Every. Single. Day.
