Let me explain the extent to which I am a morning person: I get up at 5 AM, usually waking before the alarm goes off. I am wide awake at this point. I write this blog by 6 AM over coffee. I enjoy a leisurely morning before going off to work.
Now, mind you, I pay for this in the evenings. In bed by 8; asleep by 8:30 because I need 8 hours of sleep minimum. I do not love the nightlife. Nor do I love to boogie. (If you are old enough to recognize that song, welcome to your 60s. Or later.)
I have always been a morning person, getting up at 6 AM to go to yard sales with my mom, or venturing out to pick wildflowers with her. (There was the one time I had to keep her from picking flowers in a fenced-in area labeled “Warning: Unexploded Ordnance”, but that’s another story.)
In an ideal world, I would have time for a two-hour afternoon nap and then stay up until 9:30, but life doesn’t let me nap. I have work in the afternoon, and I can’t reschedule it. Oh, well, maybe when I retire.
I love the image you chose! I also am early to bed early to rise. I typically start writing by 5:30.
