I think I\u2019m more of a morning person these days, which is a definite reversal from my younger days. Once upon a time, this \u2018kat could sleep in till noon, <strong>very <\/strong>easily. This was long before the pattern of my life brought my wife and then daughter into my world! Lazy lie-ins were often the pattern of days off at weekends, but this changed, quite robustly, when I met my wife. It wasn\u2019t merely a weekend change (which was a requirement to spend decent time with her), it became folded into who I am. I wound up with a desire to make the most of my day. If I had a day off in the week when still living with my parents, I\u2019d go for an early-morning walk before breakfast. I would aim to do more than sleep my day away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trend has continued, partly because it\u2019s become my preference, and partly because of work and school schedules. There are still occasions &#8211; such as rare weekends off &#8211; where I will have a lie-in, but it&#8217;s <strong>exceptionally<\/strong> rare for this to go beyond 10am. Often, my mindset is to get up, and enjoy the day. The flipside of being up and active early is that I am usually quite tired in the evenings, and 10pm has become a sort of de facto bedtime. Going much beyond 10pm feels like a bit of a risk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about you, are you a morning meerkat, or an evening meerkat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/?page_id=122\">Back to Meerkat Prompts<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you more of a night or morning person?
