Changing times

[Submeg]

For me that is! Seems that with the change in people in my life, I have reverted back to my old ways...but in the extreme! I used to get up at six everyday, no fail. Now, it seems that I am going to bed at 10:30ish and waking at 4! Seems I have programmed my body to only need six hours sleep a night. It's actually pretty good, I just finished a practical write up and I will be going for an hour walk in about half an hour. So much stuff you can do in the wee hours of the morning.

Ahh! Life is sweet.

Thats true. I think first thing in the morning is a great time to get certain things done - if you have anything to do. When i go outside first thing in the morning, it is always nice and quiet.

But if you go out too early, there are always the freaks out there....

There is definitely a nice atmosphere early in the morning if you are out and about. Everyone else is yet to clutter up the world and the air feels fresh and new.

Sadly I'm not a morning person at all and hate getting up early. I would much rather stay up very late working on something or watching a film and go to bed as morning is approaching and then get up later in the day. But I always wish I had gone to bed earlier so I could then be up earlier in the day when that happens. But I keep doing it. Is just the way my body clock is programmed I suppose.

You can change it though. Start going to bed half an hour earlier than normal, then an hour and so on....eventually your body will adjust

That sort of works. I used to work till 6am so morning are the time i used to go to bed. I've now cut that time to about 1 or 2 am 10 years later.

I have always found the opposite.
If I haven't left work by 6:30 at night, I am having to dodge loads of wierdos.

I have always worked in an area within a fair size shopping centre.
It's like all the normal people know how to get the bus and train home after the shops have shut.
After 6:30, you are just left with the people who haven't worked out how that's done.

I'm like that myself although it doesn't actually bother me.

Sadly, that is not true for everyone.
I have tried it many time over the years for works reasons.
It just means I end up having less sleep.

Going to bed before I am ready just makes me more restless and I end up getting to sleep later than I would have, if I went to bed at my usual time.

Thats a lie!!!! Even before i became a lazy bastard i hated mornings. Scratch that i hate people who are cheerfull in the morning. In fact i will kill anyone who has the audacity to be cheerfull to me before 10 am.

And if I was the judge in your case, I would let you off.
(As long as you didn't appear in court until after 10am.)

[Submeg]

Buleste, you're lucky I don't live near you....I have to be cheerful at 7:30 when I get to work so I'm sure you would want to chop me up.

I'm not a morning person either, like Teho.

I am quite lazy, though.
