Last night I went to a garden party in a field. Because that is what us Yorkshire people do; stand in fields. I ate much barbeque and drank much wine and it was lovely. This morning I had to get up at 5am as I'd stayed at my friends (with the big fieldish garden), to get back to the city to go to work at 7am. Urg. What I'd give to be a morning person. To leap out of bed and make strange happy noises for the joy of being awaaaaake and aliiiiive. To get up at 7am on my day off just because. But I'm not like that. I grunt and stumble and moan, with my pillow still stuck to my head for the first half of the day. The guests at work tend to think it's just some strange growth and don't mention it. Is it possible, do you think, to train yourself to be a morning person, because I have been trying for years and I'm beggining to believe it is damned near impossible. I've tried. I have. Every night before a day off I think " ooooh... I'll get up early tomorrow, and make the most of my daaay". Only to wake up, automatically turn the alarm off, then wake up at midday.  I dont even know I'm doing it. On the days I have to actually get up I have to have my alarm set for an hour before I have to get up so I can put it on sleep every 5 minutes for an hour.

SO. Do you think it is possible to train to be a morning person? Because I would really like to be one please. Also, am particularly bad at minute, a bit lethargic, does anyone know of any simple herbal remedies for this..?

I just realised my name suggests that I am prickley. I am not. I am in fact quite smooth.
