The thing is, I'm not a morning person by choice. I'm a morning person because getting up at 6 is about the only way I manage to get to work by 9(ish). The hour-long nap after being up for a half-hour is not a sign of someone who's bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the crack of dawn.

I have a lot of respect for the quote by Richard Stallman, stating his enjoyment of the dawn: it's such a quiet and peaceful time to go to bed.
