When my sister Ellen began to do sleep research, she informed me that I was a classic lark - a morning person, same as you. Ellen, my mother, and my cousin Ginny were all owls - night people. It enabled Ginny to work nights as a nurse in a hospital without a bother; Ellen stayed up all night evaluating brain waves. When Ginny's wedding day rolled around, she was still in bed at 10:30 am when she was to be married at noon! Her bridesmaids had to drag her out of bed. I like living as a lark and could not imagine sleeping late!

Ah, another fellow morning person! Hello! I always feel a sense of unease when I'm still in bed at ten o'clock. The only exception is if I'm ill! I just love being awake when no one else is, to see the sunrise that everyone misses, to hear the birds in the trees before the traffic on the road starts up. I adore that your sister and cousin had both found reasons to use their night owl-ness to their advantage.
