I love early mornings - do you?

Morning all! 

I was very excited to wake up naturally at 5.22am this morning. I love the peace and quiet of an early morning. The birds are also chirping (quite enthusiastically) in the garden. 

I always find that by the time I've done a full day at work my energy is depleted so mornings are the blissful free time I have free from any pressures before I have to go about the mandatory aspects of my day. 

Today, I've done my usual morning routine and now I think I'm going to do some Japanese studies with a coffee.

I get a little grouchy if I don't get any time to myself in the mornings before work. 

Mornings turn out to be a very good indicator of my wellbeing. If I'm not waking up early enough to have me time before work on several occasions, that's general indicator that I'm feeling very stressed. 

Does anyone else have a similar love for the mornings?  How do you use yours?

  • Left to my own devices I'm very much a night owl but my job and my dog get in the way!

    I would love to be an early riser but between my natural tendency to be a creature of the night and my evening medication I'm not really functional until about 9.30am even though I'm awake well before that.

    I don't think any of this is a huge surprise given my username on here Joy

    Hi Battybats! The mornings certainly aren't for everyone! Though I do find it frustrating that there is a bias in society toward morning people. If it's lazy to sleep in in the morning, why isn't it seen as lazy to go to bed early? It's something that society needs to work on. I see no reason why 'night owls' should be forced to live/ work a morning person schedule.
