Until the last few years I'd had problems sleeping (insomnia, waking every couple of hours, ect), for many years 4-5 hours was my 'standard', but finally I've been blessed to be able to sleep 6-7 hrs. and even 8 every now and then. Who am I to argue with the 'experts', but I just trusted The Lord to give me strength to get done what needed doing on days I was short a few hrs. and He always did.
During tax season (Jan.-April) I've many times awoke 2-3 a.m. with such a clear mind concerning tax problems and solutions that it is amazing; I've gone to bed mentally exhausted after a 12-14 hr. day and awoke early ready to get after it all over again.
I do know this, given a choice I'd rather get consistently 7-8 hrs. sleep than 4-5; I just never seemed to be able to do that until I got into my late fifties...now I'm trying to make up for lost time...Just kidding, I still get up early, but have found going to bed early(now that I've broken the 'gotta watch' T.V. habit) is easier than before.
I don't see myself becoming one of those folks who 'love' to sleep-in til mid-morning or noon...ever! <smile>
