I'm a morning person. I appreciate waking up early enough to get things done and still have tons of day left. I know this is actually almost a false premise -- by waking up early, I'm more likely to go to bed early. My friends who wake at noon actually have more day left at noon, because they'll be awake so much later than I am. For me, though, waking at noon feels totally different, and I don't like it.
The difficulty today comes from the fact that I woke up a little after 8 am, but Adam went to sleep around 7 am. We have a lot of errands we want to do, and he's sleeping through them. I'm annoyed, of course, but I don't want to wake up him because I know he needs his sleep as much as the next person. It would be fine if today were totally free -- we could just go to the stores later. However, today isn't, and there's a hard stop when we have to finish things and go do other activities, so sleeping through the day is untenable with our current plans.
Along with sleeping in, I also hate changing plans. So, what should I do? Wake him up, so we can start our day, or let him sleep, and try to get over my severe annoyance at him changing (almost typed 'ruining') the plans we had set up. Dilemmas. At the very least, I can let him sleep a little longer and see if he gets up naturally. Sometimes he sets alarms for himself when he knows we have tasks. We'll see?
