Never Too Old To Learn

[sheepdog 10]

I have made a rather amzing discovery over the past several weeks that I believe is rather interesting.I had heard about circadian rhythums ( think thats spelled righ?) and the effects of day length on humans, but one study I read didn't seem to make much sence to me. The study reflected that if you go to bed at say 10 pm and sleep the normal number of hours that what ever your own particular body required, it was healthier for you than if you went to bed at say 2 or 3 am and slept exactly the same number of hours. Now how could that be? Sleep is sleep right? I have to admit, I have always been something of a night owl, and now having a computer and all those emails to answer and web site to maintain I seem to find that the easiest to do late at night when everything and everyone else is quite and I can concentrate. But circumstance dictated for the past few weeks that I had to change, the summer heat was just too much for me to do the kind of work I have to do in the heat of the day. So I found myself rising early for several weeks, and by 10 pm I was just so wiped out instead of fighting it and staying up and doing my computer work I just gave up and went to bed early. Low and behold, although it took a few weeks of adjustment, I am now finding out that if I do get up early and go to be early, I have one heck of a lot more energy during the day. I have been able to acomplish an awful lot of work in the past few weeks, and have not had the spells I've always had before of having days when I just couldn't make myself do anything. So maybe there really is something to the old saying "early to bed early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
