Sleeping in does not make me feel good at all. When I hear people rejoice at the thought of sleeping later in the morning, I don't understand their satisfaction. Sleeping in makes me cranky, lethargic and very negative about life and about myself.

In fact, the earlier I rise, the more productive, positive and encouraging my day is. Getting up early makes me hyper and annoyingly cheerful. The earlier, the better. I'm just wired weird. I slept in later than usual most of this week and by Friday, I realized how blue and useless I had begun to feel. Today, I popped up at 5:30am and at 10:16am, I'm feeling like taking on the world. In fact, I've already started. These four and a half hours have been more productive than the last two days' work put together. Go figure.

Did I mention that exercise does the same thing for me? Jogging for half an hour makes me annoyingly hyper and cheerful, as well. Is anyone else out there like this? Don't be afraid to admit it. You're not alone. LOL Until later, carry on, my leisurely friend!

Here's a link to an article about early risers and why we do it. Or something like that. LOL
