Rock Around the Body Clock


By nature, I'm an early  bird.  Never mind the fact that I have to be at work at 6:45 am...I just normally wake up before the roosters.  I also go to bed earlier than most adults -- typically by 8:30 pm.  Last night I enjoyed a rousing evening of Scrabble, laughter, food, and drink with some girlfriends and my head didn't hit the pillow until midnight. Thankfully, I don't work today, but guess what?  My body wouldn't allow me to sleep past 5 am.  Why didn't my body clock come equipped with a snooze button?

Admittedly, I am a super-fan of structure and routine, but every once in a while, I'd like the option of "sleeping in" until 6am.  I'm hoping that around noon, I'll look something like this:
