I need about 6 hours of sleep a night, too much sleep drains me of my energy. I have always been a morning person, but for the last 2 yrs, I have been setting my alarm for 5:00 am daily, even weekends and even now while I work at night. It helps me to get alot done, when working during the day, I had time for devotions and exercise before work. I really like being up before my kids and getting what I want done. If I would get up later, I would plan to do devotions, etc. later in the day and I never got to it. Since I'm not married now, there is no one to annoy with my hours. If that ever changed, I would have to figure that out. I love my schedule now, it really works for me. I do have a crash time in the late pm, so I just chill for an hour and then get my second wind.
