As usual / myLot

United States

August 6, 2022 6:52am CST

Today is Saturday. I did not set an alarm and my plan was to sleep in. That did not happen. As usual I was awake at 5 a.m. It does not matter that I stayed up a little late last night. My mind and body are so accustomed to getting up at 5:00 that I did it anyway. I napped some yesterday and will again today. It is the best thing to do in the heat.

I mostly wake at the same time each day but sometimes I manage to stay in bed past my usual get-up time.

5:00 a.m. has been my time for the most part since High School. Over 50 years.

@GardenGerty That 5 am wake-up would be well and truly entrenched now.

I planned to get up early enough to get to the yard sale before all the good stuff was gone, but 2:30 was a bit much. (Thank you RLS)

I find I am fortunate not to have that problem. I just have almost always gotten up around 5 a.m., or even 4:30.Lately I have been taking the occasional short nap to make up for it.

I generally have a warm blooded alarm, he just refuses to let me sleep in.

I don't sleep well when things are hectic around here. This week has been a hard one, I need some sleep and peace, but it's not going to happen right now, son is getting a bit better but we aren't there yet, so I march onward...a mom has to do what a mom has to do.. Hope you catch a nap. Heck, I hope I catch one, too! Have a good day, Heather.

Napping is the best thing to do in this heat. You said it. I have known many people who get up about the same time every day no matter what. I am a night person and so my sleep pattern is different. I might wake up at 8a. one morning and not until 10 or 11a. the next. Odd isn't it?
