That explains my father. I always knew he was a mutant ;)

Egad! I think my kids have that. Is there a cure?! Damn their father, cause they sure didn't get it from me. :sleep:

*nod* All the "lefties" in my family are early risers. It must have something to do with writing upside down and sideways in order to make the words readable for others. A different drummer, indeed!

For all of us who are genetically deficient of the early bird gene...here's an alarm clock designed to punish us further. :smile:

Damn MIT people...why they gotta go and do that for?! So much for the excuse "I hit the snooze button too many times".

Hmmm... I used to be a night owl but I retrained myself to be an early riser. I'm usually up at 5-5:30 am and I'm usually asleep by 9:30 pm. But I had a long history of staying up late, until 12-1 am and getting up late. After some family things happened, my Dad had a stroke and his alzheimer's started getting bad, my pattern changed. Initially it was because I would have to take time off during the day to take him to doctor appts and such, but later I got very fond of driving to work really early before the traffic was bad, and getting home while it was still light outside.

I really love being a morning person now. :D (While Electra prefers mourning)

Its mostly due to work, combined with a love of late nite TV, but I find myself staying up until 5am, and sleeping until 1pm or so. So whenever I need to do something during business hours in the morning, I know I'll be cranky the rest of the day.:robot:
