Morning People

Can I just say that I am not a morning person!?! I don't like to wake up early, and probably never have minus a few special circumstances. The night before I have an early day I usually have trouble sleeping simply because of the anxiety tied to knowing that my alarm clock is going to go off at the crack of dawn. Often times I wake up with a stomach ache that is unlike any other normal ache. Not like cramps, not like I'm gonna barf... It just hurts for some weird reason. Even when I was in high school I remember starting the day with this weird tummy ache. I have no idea what causes it. And then of course lately when I wake up early I feel nauseated til about 1 o'clock. But if I don't wake up early---no nausea! See why mornings are no fun for me...In general, I usually feel like a zombie from 8am til about lunchtime when I get some more energy in my system.
The only times in my life that I can remember liking to wake up were when during the summer when I would wake up to go run outside. Those days weren't so bad, but they were also accompanied by a completey lazy afternoon with hardly any responsibilities.
Even on my mission I never got 'used' to waking up early. As soon as I got home I slept in til 10 or 11 like a pro... granted, I was insanely exhausted and needed like 2 months to recover.
But anyways, I guess I'm just one of those people that needs her sleep. I'm happier when I get about 9 hours of sleep every night. I don't like feeling stressed about how much sleep I won't be getting when I'm overly booked with responsibilities. I'm telling you... I freak out when I forsee sleepless nights in my future. It's not good.
A rested Megan is a happy Megan. :)
