Such a relief.<BR/>Take care my friend, Love, Merle.Merlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763778255535640633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-59228333897613110902009-03-04T01:51:00.000+00:002009-03-04T01:51:00.000+00:00I had one yesterday!

If I have to go somewhere then the alarm is on for 7.30 pm and I might manage to crawl out by 8.0. 8.30 am - 9.0 am would suit me fine but I hate to do that as it puts me out of sink with everyone else all day.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799594980600477320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-52846127364881041252009-03-03T19:41:00.000+00:002009-03-03T19:41:00.000+00:00I hear ya on all counts Winifred!

However what's late to some people is early to me!<BR/><BR/>I think I do get up better in summer when it's warmer and lighter. However even then if I'm up by 8 o'clock, that's what I call early.<BR/><BR/>Mind you I rarely sleep during the day or nap early evening. I probably should as I know it's good for you.

Both my husband and I like a lie in, but no later than about 8:30 (we always go to bed before 11:00 p.m.) Unfortunately, one of the cats like to get under the bed and meow wildly until we stir ourselves to go downstairs and feed them all. We take turns doing that job and then settle back into blissful snoozing. Only on Saturday and Sunday.<BR/><BR/>KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-14645481329964039642009-03-01T23:25:00.000+00:002009-03-01T23:25:00.000+00:00oooh, yeah, I hear you sister!

Mind you I can appreciate the joys of early morning - the freshness of the air, the light as it creeps up, etc etc and go through phases of getting up early, but my natural preference is late at night - it's often when I do my most creative stuff. <BR/><BR/>For a while, til I put more exercise into my life, it was becoming too painful to stay in bed (arthritis) and now the paradox is that to enjoy lieing in bed longer, I have to get up earlier to exercise.

Abe gets up between 4-5am. He goes to bed around 9-10pm and I'm up till midnight or later. Even as a child or teenager, I never could lay in bed past 9am. Had to get up to see what was happening.

I have never needed an alarm clock in my life because I am awake whether I like it or not between 4 & 5 AM every day. I sometimes stay in bed till 6 AM just so I don't wake Harvey who could sleep till 8 AM if allowed too. Chloe & Luigi, our little dogs, refuse to stay in bed past 6 AM they are ready to go out for the morning thing, and then they race back into the kitchen demanding to be fed immediately. Occasionally I take a 30 min. nap late afternoon and frequently a big nap between 8PM-9PM. I never go to bed before 11PM rarely fall asleep till midnight. I have tried to change my habits but have not been successful. I guess I will just plod along as is.<BR/>I have the TV on this morning and a sleep Dr was addressing this very issue. He is suggesting we eat a banana and drink a small glass of warm milk before retiring, it sometimes helps. I'll try it.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015642512286126041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-54773921875152124432009-03-01T12:28:00.000+00:002009-03-01T12:28:00.000+00:00Spouse and I both enjoy getting up at a very early...Spouse and I both enjoy getting up at a very early hour. Both living alone for a number of years, we were accustomed to having morning time to ourselves. Now we battle for first selections of the day i.e. coffee, tv, computer, etc. It's pretty funny how the first one up tries to be as quiet as possible so we won't wake the other.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362836138711754490.post-54343650696533752272009-03-01T10:51:00.000+00:002009-03-01T10:51:00.000+00:00Gday Minifred,, A girl after my own heart..

Used to be an owl but now in bed 10-ish, read a while, usually asleep by 11. Awake anything from 5.30 onwards. This morning 4 am!!! Never mind - feet up this afternoon for a snooze.

I don't get to bed till around midnight, but on work days I have to get up at 5:30am. I am not a good getter upper. I hit the sleep button many times. All of these years getting up early and I can't get used to it. My husband was an early riser and in a good mood in the morning.
