Rise and Shine

How do you know when you’ve had enough sleep? When you wake up without an alarm clock and it’s not because you have to pee.

This doesn’t happen to me often. In fact I’m usually deep in sleep when the alarm goes off. I groggily roll over and crawl out of bed.

But what a difference when your body signals the time to get up instead of an obnoxious alarm. I’ve experienced this the past three days and it is luxurious. Today my eyes fluttered open and the first thing I saw and heard was the steady rain. My body was missing that tension that results from the jar of the alarm, even though it is music.

I wish I could start every day just like this, following my body’s clock instead of an alarm clock. I like my internal clock.
