6 AM. that's the time I get up since I decided to cycle for 50 mins every morning. Although I use an alarm (Suzanne by Leonard Cohen) I can feel that it will soon become normal to wake up early. I can imagine my parents thinking its a miracle considering I found it quite difficult to wake up during most of my teenage years (I remember asking my mother, much to her distress, to throw a glass of cold water on my face in the morning to get me up). But at this stage of my life I find that my new routine is automatically making me tired in the evening. So I now easily go to sleep between 10 and 11 PM instead of close to midnight. I'm assuming that this is good for my health, despite having been to the doctor a few days ago and finding out that my blood pressure is slightly higher than it should be. I believe getting up early is one of the simple pleasures in life. Today was a bank holiday (so no alarm) and yet I woke up naturally at 6 AM, as it was a bit too early for the rest of the family I went back to sleep until 7:30 when I got up and went for a bike ride. I am now a convert to the early morning ... my next challenge is converting my wife! Oy vey!
