I'm the exact opposite. I stayed up until 11:30 last night and can hardly function today. (Good thing there's lots of strong coffee in my office.) I get up at 5:00 a.m. during the week and sleep in until maybe 7:00 on the weekends. If I sleep past then, I feel like I'm wasting the day away. (Surely my father's influence.)
I function best in the mornings. No matter how late I stay up, I pretty much always wake up a the same time, but I LOVE my afternoon naps when I have time to take one.
When I used to work in an office or at the museum, I always got in to work earlier than anyone else because I could get so much done in that hour or so before anyone else arrived.
Of course, I love my coffee, too.
Byron is like me, but Tim and Laura could (and sometimes do) sleep the day away. I think Laura's latest wake up time was 11:30, and she would have slept longer, but I just couldn't justify letting her sleep past both breakfast and lunch.
I wouldn't call myself a morning person or a night owl- I'm just a solid 8 hours of sleep and don't rush me in the morning person. What I HATE is having to get up and rush- nothing puts me in a worse mood. On those rare occasions when I oversleep and I have to hurry-well those are the days I'm a grumpy bear and not so pleasent to be around. Ok, off to get my giant size coffee now....
This conversation reminds me, MJ, of the time you quit work and I visited you for breakfast in the early am before going to work. Oh, I soooooo miss those days. Linda

Those were the only days I didn't mind getting up a littler earlier! I miss those days. Do you still drink hot water in the morning?
ReplyDeleteyeah, but now I add ginger and lemon to it. And coffee of course. I really do love my two cups of coffee every day.
