Come on, Scout! Up and at'em!
Alison started her new Summer schedule at work. The good news? She'll have Fridays off! Yay! The bad news? Mondays through Thursdays will be longer days, starting work at 7 AM instead of 8 AM!
I usually get up (or am rousted) around 6:25 to help take care of the pets (letting them out, feeding them, etc.). That time is now 6 AM.
You would think I'd solve this by simply going to bed earlier, to balance things out. But nah, I'll stick with my 11:20 time to turn off the TV and start the headed-to-bed routine. I'm stubborn that way.
It could mean I drift off while reading, or fall asleep during a cabinet meeting. But I have to be careful. Any nap may make it harder to fall asleep that night.
I normally get about five and a half to six hours of sleep a night. If I try to do more, insomnia could result. At least enough to keep me in my usual range of hours.
I know all the theories about how much sleep people need, but I feel like everyone has their own internal clock. There is greater variance in the amount of sleep required than is popularly expected. At least that's my non-medical expert opinion.*
But without heavy drugging, there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it anyway.
Oh, well.
Anyhoo, I like being awake.

Sorry. Took a brief nap.

*just think. If I were RFK Jr., all my non-medical expert opinions could become Federal law!
