5:40
Is it strange that my favorite sleep comes between 5:40 and 6:10 on weekday mornings? This is the 30 minutes before I force myself to get out of bed (or start beating myself up for not being out of bed)after my alarm clock has gone off . For some reason, I love it. It's still dim, my room is fairly cool, and sometimes I'm still dreaming but I'm just conscious enough to be aware that it's a dream, which makes it all the more sweet. I wish Saturday mornings were like that. But on Saturdays, I know that I don't have to get up. So I slip back into a deep sleep for a few more hours, and the dreams that I was having aren't as sweet, spoiled by length and depth.
Strangely enough, I like getting up in the morning, at least when there's something to do. I like the stillness of the earth before the sun comes out and starts cooking the magic out of the air. In the morning, the day is full of possibilities.

:) I like this one.
I on the other hand have a hard time between 5:30 and 6, when my alarm hasn't gone off yet, but I'm in and out of sleep waiting for it, usually dreaming/thinking through the day's responsibilities and just enough asleep to add scary implausibilities to the realities of my day and stress me out when I wake up!! I like your take on mornings much better than mine. :)
Yeah, I definitely have those days too. Sometimes I get so anxious in the mornings before I even wake up that I jolt out of bed in a panic, only to realize that it wasn't real, and that my alarm hasn't gone off yet, and I haven't yet found a way to screw up my day.
