Early to bed, early to rise goes the old saying, and I’ve been living it with gusto and satisfaction! Lying down by 8 and asleep by 830, sometimes even a little earlier. I’m relishing the early mornings for reading, catching up on paperwork and cooking big meals that will hold us for a couple of days. I treasure the early mornings, but I can only really access them if I’m going to bed early.
