  • I get up at 4:30 for a 5:00 am practice. I went to the 8:00 pm practice once because of travel and missing practice the next morning, and all I could think during the whole practice was that I should be getting ready for bed. My job requires me to come in every once in a while to monitor a release of new programs into production. The times we have come in vary. Lately it has been at 11:00 PM on Friday nights, but a few years ago, we would come in at 3:00 am on Sunday mornings. Even before I began swimming again, I much preferred the Sunday morning to Friday night releases. My husband is a night person (also a runner :shakeshead:). After I have been up for several hours on a Saturday morning, I watch him stumble to the kitchen for his coffee and I think "that is exactly how I feel after 10:00 at night". That observation confirmed to me that I was a morning person (like I didn't already know :whiteflag:). I am another who feels like sleeping until 7:00 is sleeping in. Some weekends I wake up naturally at 5:30 (I would rather sleep until 7:00). :coffee:
