as a teen getting up at 7am was tough...now im retired im always up no later than 6am

At 7 am I already had to catch a bus. The traffic jams were horrible already then, I can't imagine how early have to kids get on the bus now.

Nap as necessary. You've earned it. Early morning silence is divine.

I wake up before 6:00 a.m. every day, which is convenient for me because I listen to a radio show that starts at 6:00 a.m.

The older I get the earlier I wake up!
