Night Owl

Most of my life I have been a natural night owl.  My creative energy seems to happen in the evenings, about 7:00 p.m. and run well into the wee hours.  Many artists and creative personalities I know have the same nocturnal tendencies, and it makes it challenging to get the artistic workout completed while maintaining some semblence of normalcy and routine in daily life.   I set my alarm clock with every intention of rising early to get more accomplished that day, but inevitably my body reminds me that I went to bed at 2:00 a.m. and it still wants a solid 8 hours of sleep.  And so my hand slams on the snooze button until finally reality sets in and I stumble out of bed and to the coffee pot, another day, another ride on the rollercoaster.  I cannot fight my night owl tendencies, just pour another cuppa joe and say "weeeeee!"
