To sleep or not to sleep?

Welcome to the 7am hour.

I've never been a morning person. It is safe to say that if sleep were a person I would marry it. (However, sleep would have to a male and not female because the government says I can't legally marry a woman...since I am a woman. Just wanted to clarify.) I've known people that have converted to getting up early due to jobs, kids, dogs, full bladders, etc. Me? I'm not sure that I will fully convert but I will attempt to get my lazy ass up at least three times a week until I work my way up to Mondays-Fridays and then sleep in a little Sat/Sun. The truth is I feel better when i get up, get to work, and get moving. I just can't get out of bed! I've tried early morning phone calls from early-rising friends (some on buses to work, some with kids, some brushing their teeth). Here's how the conversation typically goes:

Me (morning voice): Hello?
Friend (chipper early riser): Hey Sara...you told me to call, remember? Time to get up...
Me: What? Who are you? Wrong number? No speaky english?
Friend: Sara, are you going to roll over and fall back asleep.
Me: No..I'm up, I'm up (the whole time adjusting my alarm by one hour). Okay...thanks...

Since I should no longer lie to the people I love I decided to have an intervention with myself. TOMORROW, I shall set the alarm for 7am, hit snooze once, take a quick walk while listening to some easy listening, shower and be in the office by 8:30-ish.

I will report back with the results. Yes, yes we can. Wait...I mean, yes, yes I can!
