Ha! Neither 1.

Daily writing prompt
Are you more of a night or morning person?

I am neither.

I used to be good with 5 or 6 hours of sleep, so I was both. my hours were from 6 am to midnight, every day. Once in a blue moon I would zonk out for 12 hours. The ‘zonking’ cared neither when nor where it happened, angering countless bosses, customers & friends.

Then sleep became a commodity I could never get enough of. I fill the late-night hours with most of my research for the next project I’m working on. If I really have trouble getting to sleep, then I’ll write to. I’ve learned that what I write after midnight (that’s arbitrary) I have to proof it all the next day and would be dumb to publish – which is why I’m always editing posts after I publish. 😖

Tired and grateful.

I am neither now. I’m just tired all the time and do a lot of day napping. I’ve actually taken a nap at 3 am and was back at it by 3:45 am. Those days truly suck. I can’t get in sync to save my life. One nap in the middle of the day should do it.

I still average 5 hours on a good night. It’s the getting to sleep that is an issue for me and has been since I stopped getting stoned all the time. My brain has no off switch apparently. I’m not honestly sure what does trigger sleep. I’m grateful for what sleep I do get and more grateful that I don’t have to earn a living anymore. 🫣🤭🤫 I can be lazy, and no one else will have to pay for that.
