After 35 Years as a Night-Owl: I Wake Up At Six & It’s a Bless!

Here’s Why I Changed Course & Why It Really Shook Things Up

We came to this world as different creatures: we look different, our tastes are far apart in times, we have different physics & looks -normally, I take this as an excuse to mention my big nose!-, and we have different lifestyles.

One aspect of a lifestyle is your sleeping routine. Some people love to wake up the earliest, some enjoy a later morning routine, and some are like me; night owls that thrive at night and love to explore the quietness, peacefulness, and endless possibilities the night brings.

That was how I lived my life so far. I never recall saying the phrase: “I need to sleep early because I have work tomorrow!.” My response to this word was always the same:

“Don’t worry, hon! You’ll have a ‘work tomorrow’ everyday! Chill.”

So it was normal to sleep 5 hours and wake up feeling hyper as a horse. Not sure if it was my body or mind, but I believe at some point, my body got used to the fact that I can sleep less and still be active.

And so went the life: happily, seamlessly, and sleeplessly.
