I was the worst about getting up in the morning from my very first kindergarten days. I never slept well and it was torture for me to wake up. Of course it wasn't until decades later that I realized how much torture it was for my mother. Sorry Mom!

It looks like you're trying to bullshit your way to the required pagecount, do you want help?
Ha!
I'm not a parent, but I do remember being a teenager, and ISTR that teens need about 100 hours of sleep in any given 24-hour period.
I am cognizant that she's basically growing a whole new body without the benefit of dissolving into a goo within a cocoon. It's exhausting. And yet...when they sleep the day around it has adverse effects on mood.

I’m still the worst at getting up in the morning, though I no longer need to sleep until noon like a teenager. No matter what time I went to bed (though again, now going to bed much earlier than I used to). I just don’t want to wake up and it takes me a long while after waking up to really shake off the sleepies. This morning, I have failed that entirely despite coffee and walking the dog in the brisk morning air, so I’m hating Monday’s right now.
Happy birthday Vortex!!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Happy birthday Vortex!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I didn't sleep past 6 any day last week (and I really wanted to) so yesterday I basically refused to get up and did go back to sleep until NINE. It was very exciting for me, although I had started getting used to getting stuff done in the early mornings....

Happy birthday, Vortex!
I've always been a morning person. Unfortunately, that doesn't always translate to falling asleep at a decent hour. I do miss that aspect of antidepressants—those knocked me out for a solid 8.

I can remember being a morning person. I have also been a late night person at times. Sometimes I feel crepuscular. These days I feel like there is no such thing as enough sleep and no time of day is particularly energetic for me. Having a second teenagerhood, perhaps.

Right now I would be down with dissolving into goo within a cocoon if it meant the new body came with less pain issues and a better back.

A million years ago I read a short story that postulated that menopause and whatever the parallel male thing is are interrupted forms of a transformation like unto dissolving into goo within a cocoon and within the story some environmental change made it possible to complete that change. I think about that a lot. If Intelligent Design were a real thing, something like that would probably happen.
