My optimum sleep patterns are from 1:30 AM \u2013 8:30.<\/span><\/div>\n

Classic night owl, I feel the most energized if I am awake outside of those hours, and my mind tends to generate some of its best thoughts when the world settles in to retire about ten.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, I knew when I went into my current line of work that rising at six was going to be a huge challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a good day I allow myself thirty minutes to shower, remove the previous day\u2019s mascara, dress, apply a fresh coat of dark lashes and lipstick, and don earrings and a necklace.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I can\u2019t tell you how many times I hit the snooze one or two times.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have become quite proficient at readying myself to be out the door in fifteen to twenty minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The effort is like one giant groan, this hour of the day that is so contrary to my internal clock.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve said many times that the only good thing about that hour is seeing the sun come up.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am so grateful for the mornings when the light is not hidden behind clouds.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I hit the highway and see this, the orange blaze seems to wash away my fatigue, and I can feel my spirits rise with the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n
