Oh sweet Jesus. Pardon my language. Some of you aren't just morning people, you're middle of the night people

I'm not a natural morning person, and I need lots of sleep, but I really like being up early if I can. So I try to cajole my dh into going to bed early, and I get up early(ish) as often as I can to take a long bike ride to work, or go swimming. I LOVE being out and about early. But the sleep thing really does me in. If I'm up too often, too early, I can feel it first thing that I'm feeling irritable or weepy. So I have to sort of balance it out, sleep enough most nights, get up early every now and then

Left up to my own devices I'd sleep nine hours a night, get up late, be annoyed, stay up late, and gradually turn the whole day around
