I resonate re the reading and writing here. The world is so exhausting that one has to be compassionate in prioritising what matters most, even though I have a little fomo because there is such a brilliant range of writers and topics to read and learn from.

Love this! I am an absolute monster if I don't get enough sleep, so however un-rock'n'roll it may make me, I've really learnt over the years that it's something I have to prioritise. RIP your alarm clock, that's so frustrating for you as I know you'd been really loving it. I love the very early mornings and the late nights - mainly just for how quiet they are - it's the inbetweens I struggle with! If my commitments were structured differently I'd probably try and do both and then embrace naps inbetween, but for now I'm mostly a day penguin (though I do love a lie-in as a treat).

Day penguin! I love this. This is me, too. I'm a day person and I also don't understand the bragging rights of the 5 am club. :-)
