It’s interesting how different people’s perspectives are, based on their own experiences.
When my parents come to visit me, they consisder me slightly lazy because if left to my own devices I tend to get up at 9:30 am. I’m sure lots of you would consider that outrageously early!
Before they retired, they got up at 5:30 am every day – for decades. In their retirement they allow themselves to “sleep in” – to 7 am.
I love to get up at about 3:30, go grocery shopping, and then come home and go back to bed. Of course, I can only do that on the weekend, but it just makes for the best sleep! Then you still have the whole day to do daytime stuff!
Remember, I don’t sleep much, either, so I know what he’s up to. He doesn’t have a TV in his room…he sneaks downstairs to watch Cartoon Network, then falls asleep in front of Dragon Ball. We don’t get any “dirty” channels, and anything non-animated bores him silly, so I think I’m pretty safe for now.
I’m always hoping that he’ll start reading more when he can’t sleep, but I can’t force him. Maybe next year…sigh
