Congratulations, you're a morning person now!

I've still got it (the ability to roll over and go back to sleep after my body clock wakes me at 630)

You dog

I remember when I was young, I could be both both a morning person and a late night movie starter

tacitassassin13.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yeah… I start work at 5am so that I can… go to bed when the kids do at 7:30pm

insortediaboli.bsky.social•20 days ago

Comes for all of us eventually

ryanboyd.bsky.social•20 days ago

Same thing happened to me—I just…wake up at 6/6:30 now that I’m in my mid 40s

scotteb.bsky.social•20 days ago

I held out until my 50s, but now I consider sleeping past 7 am a victory.

As my wife and were getting ready to go to sleep last night around 11:00, we laughed about how it wasn’t that long ago we would have just been getting to the first bar of the evening on a Friday night out

dennycarter.bsky.social•20 days ago

Funny how things change so dramatically

sunglassguy.bsky.social•20 days ago

Also having kids destroys this

dennycarter.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yeah there’s really no choice at some point

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

petedavidsonny.bsky.social•20 days ago

Welcome. It only gets worse.

dennycarter.bsky.social•20 days ago

It’s not that I want to get up with the sunrise. I very much don’t. But I’m awake, the cortisol is coursing through my veins, and I’m not gonna just lie there for an hour. I live in a goddamn Folgers commercial from 1987 now.

mtc111.bsky.social•20 days ago

Same thing started happening to me until I realized lying there for an hour is actually pretty nice

dennycarter.bsky.social•20 days ago

It can be yeah

mtc111.bsky.social•20 days ago

Never run when you can walk, never walk when you can stand, never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie has served me well as a Type-B personality

I feel seen. Also, laying in bed for too long becomes uncomfortable so there’s extra incentive to get up.

This has been me over the last 6 months. Now the daylight savings shenanigans are starting to make sense.

I wasn’t a morning person until I had kids and they wake up when they wake up. I was up and out the door to a yard sale and back by 8am. Took care of the dogs then made breakfast for everyone. When that was done I was like “it’s only 9am!”

dennycarter.bsky.social•20 days ago

That’s weird when it first happens. You do three or four things and it’s 8:30 and you’re expecting it to be noon.

michaelsalfino.bsky.social•19 days ago

Weak

dennycarter.bsky.social•19 days ago

It’s true
