5:30 am writing

As I age and my sleep cycle naturally turns into that of an old person, I'm finding I really enjoy the early morning hours. This morning I woke up for the first time around 4:30, and was able to doze until 5:30, when I propped myself up on my pillows and grabbed my laptop and knocked out 1,700 good words. I went back to sleep around 7 and finally got up for the day at 8:30.

This situation would have horrified younger me, who treasured sleep, especially morning sleep, above all else. But it's what my body is doing now, so I'm going to try to make the most of it.
