Do you ever sleep in?

I usually wake up with the sun. My apartment faces East, and I keep my curtains open, so I wind up waking up between 6 and 7 AM, depending on the season.
Today I didn't stumble out of bed until 8:30 AM or so. I was up late last night, watching/listening to music videos and talking to a friend on the phone (not at the same time), so I didn't get to bed until later than usual.
Today is my longest day at Guitar Center. Hopefully it will be fun.
Anyway, do you sometimes sleep in?
Photo is of a mountain goat grazing in Glacier Park Montana. It has nothing to do with the post.

I've been falling asleep without meaning to fall asleep... Last night I was talking on myLot and then woke up about 10 pm and wondered why I'd fallen asleep.
Have fun at Guitar Center today, pony.

@TheHorse The doctors said that stress could cause "flares" and my thyroid would cause problems. I think that's what has been happening...

@DaddyEvil I hope you can reduce the stress part. I'm doing that now, sanding speakers and looking forward to bed.

I usually sleep in my bed, but sometimes on the couch...
And I get up when I get up.

My perfect sleeping hours are 12 midnight to 8 or 8:30am. I absolutely love not having to get up at 6am to get kids off to school and me off to work by 8.
Is Glacier Park near where you live up there?

@TheHorse Have you thought anymore about living in your cabin there permanently?

@1creekgirl The cabin does not have insulation, so I'd freeze there in the Winter. Plus I'd be snowed in. But I have been pricing houses in an around Lewistown Montana.

Sleeping in for me means not waking up until 6 AM. Most days I get up at 5. If I sleep later than 6 it becomes very difficult to get to sleep when bed-time comes back around.

@SophiaMorros I did not when I was younger. But as an old man, I do.

@TheHorse I've always been the person who starts nodding off early. I turn into a pumpkin long before midnight.

Good Sleep can be sometimes hard to get by.
Yet if I get a chance I do try to cover on sleep.
I hope that your day at the Guitar Centre was good
Since you slept late, so that makes for getting up earlier in the morning that much difficult.

Yet I believe that a disciplined "Horse'" doesn't makes for a spicy Mylot stuff !!

@TheHorse — I’m not into three-minute songs that take 45 minutes to perform. I do like their “commercial/friendly” songs like “Alabama Getaway,” “Truckin’,” and “Uncle John’s Band.”

Though I could sleep in every day, I rarely do. Most days, like you, I'm up between 6 and 7. After making coffee and taking the dogs out for their post-breakfast potty (K takes care of their first out and breakfast), I have breakfast and do the day's chores, which don't usually take that long.
By 9 or so, I'm at work on the computer.

As I don't work I can get up whenever I want. But I try not to sleep late as I wake up feeling out of it rather than refreshed, So I have an alarm set for 8 am. But now that we are doing remodeling I have to wake up earlier so I can shower and have breakfast before the contractor shows up.

@lovebuglena Are the contractors nice folks?

@TheHorse Well, the kitchen remodel is going on from end of July. That is not totally done yet. And the contractor already started on the living room bathroom. And after that there is more that my mom wants to do. I hope it will all be done by the end of November but doubt it will be.

Cool photo. I saw a mountain goat in Nevada. My husband says I didn't. I don't sleep in because I rarely sleep at all. Have a good day.

@TheHorse He's just kidding me. He always says I never saw a goat; and I always tell him he didn't hook a big tarpon in the Keys.
