Early to bed, early to rise

I am so exhausted in the evenings I often go to bed by 7:30. Then, of course, I wake up too early.
I got up at 3:00 and had coffee for my headache, took a shower, let Tinker out, then in, then out. Then I lay back down until 5:00, but no sleep.
My major accomplishment this morning is that I have typed up the daily routine for the person who will sub for me next Wednesday. It took some time to make it readable and coherent.
Now it is time to pack my lunch. I believe after work we will go in to McPherson. Bob wants to go to the library, we need a few groceries, and I want to see my sister. We probably will have a fast food meal while there.
I guess I will not be here much at all today. Have a great day, it is Friday for me.

Yes, it is. It is still a bit foggy and chill even at 7 a.m.

@GardenGerty The temperature starts to go up a little by 8 AM, not before.

My choice would be to get up at 5.

@GardenGerty That is good time to get up. You don't have to rush with your morning rituals.

Hope you have a lovely day friend

I had a hilarious day with my student. He is beginning to want to do new things.

Happy Friday! I usually get up early but wind up taking a nap on purpose or otherwise in the afternoon. I fell asleep early last night in bed with my laptop streaming something. Got up at about 4:30. Kitty likes when I get up early without her having to get in my face lol.
Have a great day!

We have acquired/rescued so many kitties lately, but Tinker is the only one allowed out. The little ones tease that they would like to go out, but do not press the issue.

I might do that if I did not have to get on the bus in the morning.

I used to be that way. This spring is just a bit rough and makes me so tired I have to go to bed.

You start the day too early.

That is not quite enough rest. I have heard that rotating shifts are very hard on the body.

It seems to go in cycles. I will wait this one out and see what improvements there are.

Ideally I would go to bed at 9 and get up at 5. I love early mornings, especially when the weather finally warms up.

I did not have to get up that early, although I have a friend that does to use some eye drops. My preferred time is 5 a.m. I am doing a lot of physical stuff at work and it tires me.

I go to bed around 10:00pm, sometimes 11:00pm, and most days I get up at 9:00am.

@GardenGerty Thank you very much. But just because I go to bed at that time doesn't mean I go straight to sleep. Sometimes I come on MyLot (like now.)

Yes, I was exhausted. I hope I got enough rest to help me in the future weeks.
