I could go to bed and to sleep earlier than I do now, but I never was a morning person even when I had to be when living on a farm, going to school, working days &/or getting my childrens' breakfasts and them ready for school and etc. You know the old saying a man works from sun to sun but a woman's work is never done! Working and raising a family is hard work for moms and single dads! Keeps the stress level medium or high, too! I am retired and go to bed when I want to and get up when I want to.....don't always rest though from getting up and down during the night! But I enjoy my life since I know Jesus as my own personal Savior and Lord by serving Him gladly! May God Bless! Amen! Ma Betty
