Sleeping In
All week long (working week that is) I follow the same routine - up at 5:00, coffee and toast, blog (while sitting in front of my SAD light to get my required 30 minutes of light), dress and get out of the house before 270 becomes a parking lot. That routine never changes but each morning as I get up I long for Saturday and Sunday because I can sleep in - in theory.
Okay this is Saturday and what do you suppose happened at 5:00 this morning? You guessed it - my eyes flew open at 5:00 as if it were any old day. Darn it all. At that point I have two choices: get up like normal and get my day started - or try and force those old eyeballs to shut. Sometimes I win the battle and actually get another hour or so of sleep, such as I did today. Other times no amount of relaxing will allow me to go back to sleep.
There was a time when I could sleep the day away but it was a long time ago. They say that we oldsters sleep less and that seems to be so. I suffer from bouts of insomnia from time to time so if I can stay in bed until 5:00 in the morning it's been a good night.
Regardless of what time I wake up, I do recognize my self-imposed obligation to get my blog written first thing. So whether it's 5:00 like most days or 7:30, you'll find me with coffee and toast sitting in front of the computer hoping that my brain is active and inspired.
Have a great Saturday.
