Can't sleep

What is it that makes a person a morning person or a night owl? My mother has always been a morning person and my father a night owl. I am a self-proclaimed night owl. I have always loved working later in the afternoon and going to bed late. I don't do well in the morning. I can get up early. My body just doesn't like it.

It is almost 4:oo in the morning. Terry's alarm will be going off in about 20 mins. Here I am awake and not wanting to sleep. Now I did go to bed around 11:00 pm and woke around 3:30 am. I love the absolute quiet of the night. Except of course for the snoring coming from children and Terry. rofl

The funniest part about being a night person is that I am scared of the dark. As long as I have someone with me I am ok. Being by myself is not ok. I remember travelling to Nebraska by myself with boys and dog. Kathy took the boys to stay at her house on the first night there. Now normally I love this. Trapp, the dog, probably thought I was crazy. He was a puppy at the time.

All of the lights were on in the house and outside. I had Trapp sleeping in my bed with me. Even though I was scared he was going to poop on the carpet. I hardly slept at all thinking the whole night that the boogy man was going to get me. I am an adult for crying out loud!! Why would someone my age be scared of the dark??? I will never know and there is no cure for it.
