Like I usually do, I headed right for the computer. I don\u2019t even try to pretend to be anything other than obsessed with e-mail and social networking. It\u2019s easier to admit you are a geek than to make up excuses to deny the fact.<\/p>\n

So I logged into Facebook and started checking out what my friends had posted through the night. Thanks to the aforementioned geekdom and my big family and assorted other connections, I have a lot of friends on there.<\/p>\n

At the top of my list was a post from one of the college students I knew from my last job. I like keeping in touch with them for many different reasons.<\/p>\n

She also had just woken up. However, her status bemoaned being up \u201cin the middle of the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

I had to laugh. I had totally forgotten that my usual wakeup time is an ungodly hour for so many people. I had forgotten that my college self would never believe that 5:30 a.m. would be a familiar time of day in the future.<\/p>\n

I always wanted to be that guy who stayed up all night when I was younger. I had some college friends who regularly stayed up to see the sunrise. I could never handle that, even though I would stay up pretty late.<\/p>\n

As I have gotten older, I kept telling myself I would stay true to my night owl roots. When I had the chance to stay up late, I tried to take advantage of it to the fullest.<\/p>\n

But even that has started to change. When the clock would hit midnight on weekends, I would merely see that as an opportunity to pack in one more hour of fun.<\/p>\n

Now I start to think twice and count in my head how much sleep I could get before I had to drag myself out of bed. I calculate the possibility of a nap and wonder how that will affect my sleep the following night.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like this new part of me, especially since I now have a kid who has mastered the art of sleeping in.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m jealous when I see her door still closed at 10 a.m. on the weekend. I really want to be under the covers at that time, but I need to make sure I get my morning walk in and worry about being available if Maria has to work or take care of some errand.<\/p>\n

The best chance I have of sleeping at 10 a.m. is if I get back into bed after a busy morning for a nap. And don\u2019t think the thought hasn\u2019t occurred to me on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

The worst part is that I have started to accept all of this. When I used to wake up early, I could blame it on parenting and spending time with my child. Now I don\u2019t have that excuse anymore, and I\u2019m just a guy who accomplishes things at 5:30 in the morning.<\/p>\n

At least that clears up the rest of the day for me to nap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I woke up the other morning at my usual time for a weekday, sometime around 5:30.
