Who Ordered it to be Morning?
May. 7th, 2008 09:06 amGroan. I didn't get a heck of a lot of sleep last night, but I'm trying to get my hours moved around so that I'll start getting up reasonably early in the morning so that I can make a good attempt at this entire 9-5 (or perhaps 10-6) thing that I'm doing. I like the idea of perhaps eventually settling on an 8:00 am wake-up time. That way I don't need to be asleep before midnight, so I don't feel like I'm losing my evenings, and it gives me two hours to wake up, drink coffee, shower, eat breakfast, read LJ and the like, before I sit down and try to get some work done.
Today though, I was up at 7:00 am because our house guest suggested we go out for breakfast this morning as reward for both of us having to get up with too little sleep. I managed (barely) to drag myself out at 7:00 after falling asleep at 1:00 am, but it turns out that he was up until 5:00 am getting some work done. So, we've rescheduled the breakfast for 9:30. That gives him a chance to get a bit more sleep, but still gets us out the door and eating with time to spare for him to get to his meeting today, and for me to come back and get some work done.
Not, mind you, that I expect to get much done today. Its been many years since I was able to be reasonably productive on only 6 hours sleep. Heck, I'm not sure I've ever really managed to get anything done on a day with that little sleep. However, so long as I manage to stay awake today and get to bed at a reasonable hour so as to get 9 or 10 hours tonight to make up for today, I should be productive tomorrow and the next day.
That, at least, is the plan.
