One of the drawbacks of waking up at 7.10am, getting up at 7.30am and being all dressed and raring to go (if you rare quietly, of course) at 9am is that you end up in a sleepy lull at about… oh… now, I'd say.
Why aren't siestas de rigeur here?

Matt is fascinated by the story of Argleton, the unreal town that appeared on GeoMaps but which doesn’t actually exist. When he and his friend and flatmate Charlie are standing at the exact longitude and latitude that defines Argleton, Matt sets in motion a chain of events that will take him places he didn’t know existed… and which perhaps don’t.

I feel this way six day a week myself. Which is horrible, since all my spare time lies past the dinner-meal and evening-shower. I am ~not~ an early riser, not even if I practise by turning in 9pm each night for a week. And I do ~not~ have an energy supply of 13-16 hours.
People say it's between the ears. But if it is, than just why can't you go do the hobby you're so enthusiastic about? Lord praise the Sundays.
Maybe it's because I spend my energy ranting on end about my own worries in other people's space, instead of doing wise, compassionate deeds 🙂

I do tend to find that i perk up a bit after about 7pm-ish, and am usually wide awake again by 9pm. I do believe, though, that too much sleep makes you tired – when I cut back on my sleept to less than 7.5 hours a night, I felt much perkier. The downside of that, of course, is that if I sleep less I dream less and am thence bereft of overnight celebrity cameos.
Can't win 'em all, eh Bramski?
Oh, and you do do wise, compassionate deeds. I've seen you. 😉
Veel knuffeltjes.
