Not a morning person……

Why do people have a problem with those of us who aren’t full of the joys of spring early in the morning?  I know I am far from being the only person who ‘doesn’t do’ mornings, but for all those who DO I just want to explain something….

If my curtains are still closed at 10 am you may think I am a lazy slut – but what you probably don’t know, because you were fast asleep, is that I was still up and about at 2 am.  I enjoy staying up late as that’s when I seem to be my most creative.  Any time after 10 pm I seem to come alive  and the creative writing juices start to flow, or I decide to catch up on my reading.  I have even been known to do some business finance stuff in the wee small hours.  My brain LIKES the nighttime – not early mornings.

I have been told that if I went to bed earlier I would be more alert in the morning.  Believe me, I have tried that, but I just lie there unable to sleep.  I end up totally exhausted and rather crabby.

So please don’t judge me by the time my curtains open or close, and please don’t call me before 9 am unless it’s an emergency.  I don’t take any notice of when you close your curtains and I wouldn’t dream of calling you after 9 pm unless I know you are a night owl like me.
