If there is sunlight in my room it is extremely difficult for me to sleep. As a result, I naturally awaken rather early. When I am in a stable sleeping pattern I usually rise around 7 a.m. without an alarm. I get tired early and am not one of those people who easily ignores being tired. I love waking up early and knowing there is a whole day ahead of me. I love the quiet and potential of a new morning. I love when it is 10 or 11 and I have already crossed many things off of my to-do list. Sometimes though I have trouble sleeping. Sometimes I love to stay up late. It is easier to be social later than to get work done but I have gotten real good solid work done, sometimes, in the solitude of night. I am an early morning bird person. But occasionally I subvert my nature and stay up most of the night instead.
