Do you wake up to the sounds of an alarm clock yelling at you to get out of the bed, or does your body’s internal clock wake you up in the morning? Do you hit the snooze button, begging for ten more minutes of sleep, or do you bounce out of bed ready to take on the day?
I had a college roommate who made out his minute-by-minute schedule for the next day before he went to sleep at night. He envisioned himself waking up at 5:30, brushing his teeth at 5:31, fully clothed by 5:32, and starting an hour of bible study at 5:33. Of course, the next morning when his alarm clock sounded (for all of Auburn, Alabama to hear), he hit the snooze and rolled back over. This routine continued every ten minutes for the next hour. Needless to say, by the third day, I wanted to toss him and his alarm clock to Tuscaloosa!
We all have our different ways in which we start the day. Some of us are slow to wake up, needing three to four cups of coffee before we mutter our first words, while others seem to wake up fully caffeinated with multisyllable words flowing continuously from their mouths for all to hear.
