There was an adage: Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. But I was one of those parents who couldn’t sleep until the kids were home, including one who worked an evening shift and wasn’t home until 12:30- 1am. So my internal clock got reset and now going to bed by 10 only happens if I’m sick, even though the kids are no longer living at home.

I also found that arting or crafting during those hours allowed me to go into a zen mode without disruption or feeling like I should doing something else like a chore, and I am more productive with those activities. So, I wonder if there’s any correlation with people who are creatives and staying up late. I know of others who also enjoy the creative process late night/wee hours of the morning.

Well. I woke at 2. Couldn't sleep...decided to take on a few things and your emails are the last of them Bill. So...does this count as a morning person? :)
