Late Sleeper

morning sun intrudes
through my bedroom window shade
before alarm sounds
does it know something I don’t?
like missing the early worm?

I rarely stay up after 10 p.m. Then I'm up between 3 and 4 p.m. (that's when my dog licks my face to let me know his bladder needs emptying. I often stay up after that, check the news, edit my poems or write new ones if an idea comes to mind. I average 5 to 6 hours nightly with no bad side affects. It works for me. / Maurice

Wow, I wish I could do that. If I don't get a minimum of 8 hours, I'm a mess the next day. If I get 9, I am happier, still.

We have black out drapes at our house Hank; they make the sun much less annoying because she cannot get through them.

That's what I need to find...some blackout drapes. I've tried everything, but I can't get the blinds to close tightly enough to shut out the morning sun. It really IS annoying.
