Too Groggy to Google

I am not a morning person. Occasionally, I will not have a problem with getting up early for an event or appointment or homework (back in the days). But I cannot do it regularly. My body has not had the proper training. In fact, I don't think it's even built for such possibilities. It's like asking a lobster to move onto the beach, permanently. As a species, they enjoy a couple of terrestrial vacations each season, but that's it. Anymore and they will perish. Similarly, I gather, I wouldn't last more than a few days a semester.

Case in point: Early to work, early to home.

Doesn't work so well when you add "late to bed" into the equation. Not that it would make much of a difference had I slept at my regular hour last night. I am just not a morning person. I'll say it again if I have to. 4-6 am is my deep sleep period. I fall in and out of sleep and dreams outside of that time frame. As such, I prefer to linger during the latter hours so I can recall my nocturnal adventures with ease. Pluck me from sleep too early, and you will get Oscar the Grouchy with dry, droopy eyes. It's not a pretty sight! Still, it could be worse. Used to be Grumpy with gloves on.
