Morning/Night Person

I am on the horns of a dilemma. I am, by nature, a night person. I have worked every night shift imaginable (6-6, 7-7, 12-12, 4-4) and am quite comfortable in the wee hours. Enter a management job...6:00am to 4:00pm...I had to start getting up early, so I couldn't stay up and enjoy the night except on weekends. Well, things have taken an unexpected turn. I've made such an effort to go to bed early on weeknights that the latest I can sleep on the weekends now is 8:00am. That wouldn't be so bad, but I'm starting to realize that the only time I will have to myself, when I'm not tired, is early in the morning. I had my alarm set for 6:30 this morning so that I can get our crew to church on time. Well, I awoke at 5:00am, started to go back to sleep, then got up anyway to have some alone-time. Is this a trend? Am I turning into a morning person? Help!

I think it means you have worked for the goverment for too long. Don't you get enough alone time in the cold room. The door locks you know and you don't have to answer the door.

Before long you shall be going to bed around 5 in the afternoon ... now wait, that's old age taking over! :-) It's ok man, it is when the diapers come into play again (for you) that you really need to worry about your sleep schedule. When you are tired, you will sleep. :-)
