Becoming an early bird

You know that new morning routine of waking up an hour before Kaydn Rye so that I can get in an extra hour of uninterupted work time - well it's not going so well. This extra hour translates into me waking up between about 7:00 and 7:30.
I can hear the gasps now from all you morning people who wake up dancing the hula at 5:30 in the morning.
So yes, I have trouble waking up in the morning, and no I am not lazy.
But lets face it, the world is run by all you crazy morning people. Bottom line.
And for those of us self-proclaimed night owls, going to bed at 1:30 in the morning and waking up at 10 am is the most perfect day. Ever.
I guess I just assumed that after high school or atleast college, I'd get over the whole sleep 'til noon thing and move on like the rest of the world into the go to bed at 10 and wake up at 6 am routine.

I recently found an article reassuring me that my sleeping until noon isn't my fault, I'm a victim -a victim of "Delayed-Sleep Phase Disorder."

But according to this Wall Street Journal article, LEARNING TO LIVE LIKE AN EARLY BIRD
, the good news is that while morning people are generally healthy, more conscientious and more emotionally stable, we night owls are much more creative and flexible - and more caffeinated.

So while we night owls are off creating the most inspiring pieces of literature, music, art and invention of this century, the morning people are off running the world....I aim to fuse the two - just you wait and see.

God, aint this the truth....I hate sleeping in, but I never want to go to sleep either, I'm a super creative person and I PREFER to not miss ANY moments of the day, and though I hate the morning ritual of getting up, I LOVE breakfast food.

I'm with you Chelsea - most mornings I can hardly decide what to stuff my face with...cereal, oatmeal, toast, waffles, toaster struddles, the list goes on!
