spring forward, fall back

I've always been a night owl, but it wasn't until I became self-employed that my natural sleep cycle was really allowed to thrive. And thrive it did! I go to bed at dawn and rise in the afternoon. As odd as it may seem to go to bed at 5 or 6 in the morning and get up at lunchtime, it's what feels most normal to me. For now anyway

I used to think I was very strange for being such an extreme night owl, but I've found there's a lot of us! I guess it's the wonders of the internet that we end up getting to know people who are awake at the same time of night.

once I heard the birds start waking up in the AM I knew it was time to goto bed

Yes! When I hear birds, my brain just goes "okay you can sleep now." I'm not always up until the birds start chirping, but it happens quite often.

I'm back to work and am forced to get up at 6:15 to get to work which means that I have to force myself to bed before 1AM if I plan to be semi-functional all day.

Eek.

I love living in AZ - we don't observe (as my mother always called it) Daylight's Stupid Time.

Maybe I should move there. I *hate* when we push the locks forward.

My sister sometimes can go clear though the following day if need be.

I'll periodically skip a night (well, morning actually) of sleep to try to reset my schedule. It's never more than a quickie temporary fix, though. Within a few days I'm be right back to my norm.
