This is a great description of my love of early morning and I completely agree with crisp fall air.
That said, I am NOT a morning person
at all! I tend to like staying up late (although not the wee hours, more like 11pm-1am) and it takes me a long time to wake up and be functional regardless of how much sleep I get.
I have also, all my adult life, needed more sleep than your average bear. I can function with 8 hrs., do much better with 10 and have slept 12+ if not woken up. I have a strange job in that it is a very small co. and I work part-time, in the sense that If we have orders in, I will work full time anywhere from 1-3 mths. and then could be off the same amount of time until the next orders come in.
When I am working, I try to get to bed early enough and wake up at 7am. Then I need coffee until around 11 to be functional and productive. When not working, I stay up late (while trying to keep it reasonable because Hubby has to get up at 5:30) and generally never get up before 10. If he's traveling for work than anytime goes. Unfortunately, when getting all the sleep I want and not working, I tend to not be very productive around the house.
