Due to a number of factors, work has become very stressful lately. I am finding it more and more difficult to get up early for work. Which is not bad: if I get up early, I go to work early, and put in overtime that I should not be working. So, going to work a little later in the morning is not such a bad thing, as long as I arrive for the morning meetings I am required to attend, usually, at 9 AM, and I am getting to work at 8 AM or shortly thereafter.
I also have a tendency to work too late, because there is one more thing I want to do. I have become better about this, especially when I have activities during the evening, and I need to leave in time to feed the cats, then arrive at my activity.
I just find it fascinating that during the week, it is difficult for me to get up at 5:30 AM, when my alarm first goes off. But, on the weekend, I am often wide awake and ready to rise before 5:30 AM.
Additionally, when I get home from work, feed cats, have dinner, read mail, read computer stuff, sometimes I am done in by 8:30 or 9 PM. Yet, on a weekend day, when I am often much more physically active doing housework, yard work and other chores, I am not ready for bed as early, and am ready to arise much earlier.
I have experiences this phenomenon before: when I am on vacation, I awaken earlier, and go to bed later. I know that this is a function of not suffering from mental stress. It just amazes me that the difference is so remarkable.
