IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS, my biorhythms are at their maximum intensity. As the classic early to bed, early to rise person, I would make Ben Franklin proud. In the morning, I am more productive, more energized, more alive. I can maintain that energy level into the afternoon, especially if I am working on something. But after dinner, I fade like a puff of smoke. By about 6:30 PM, my body has unplugged and my brain is having pillow visions. Having arisen between 3 to 3:30 AM, it has been a full day, but I need my eight hours sleep. I climb into bed with a book and read until my concentration level loses the battle with the vanishing day. Then it’s light out, right about the time that night owls are gearing up for going out. I’ll enjoy what’s left of the night when I get up and head out for a walk early the next morning. The night people will have staggered home by then and passed out half clothed. I’ll be lacing up and thinking about which route to take and, perhaps three-quarters through the walk, begin to smell the coffee I’ll brew as soon as I get back home.
