Like Snoopy, I’m allergic to mornings…well not literally but I am far from an early morning person.
According to my mother…and she would know…I have always been a night owl. If I see the sun rise, it’s because I haven’t been to bed yet. 🙂
When I was in college, I never scheduled an 8am class because I knew my brain would not be “awake”. One semester I even managed to have all afternoon classes!
I was a language major, which meant that I had to take translation classes. Whenever I had a translation assignment, I would not even begin to work on it until midnight…when my brain was “working on all cylinders”.
Even now that I am older, I am still up very late; not going to bed until “O dark hundred” because I simply can’t get to sleep sooner. One time when I had to get up for an early morning appointment, a friend told me to go to bed sooner; it doesn’t work that way…at least not with me.
I learned long ago that when it comes to my sleeping habits, it is better to let my body decide what is right instead of the clock. And for those nights that sleep is hard to come by, there’s always my Kindle and a good book.
I don’t like being out in the dark, but when it comes to sleeping, it isn’t the right time for me. Like the fictional vampire, I prefer sleeping in the daylight. My brain works better that way.
