I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.
Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976), An Autobiography, 1977

Good morning everyboomie.
I keep nodding off to sleep already, and why not, it's 11:31.
Work was busy busy busy, and after getting my shower, and eating something, I took some sleep-aid pills, and they are working.
I remember always staying up real late watching TV back when I was a youngster. I even stayed up way way late with my kids watching Friday Night Videos when they were little.
Now.....I just don't see it as an efficient use of my time.
Back then, when I was 10, or later if you will, when I stayed up late, I would get up late as well, which was swell.
Now, no matter what time that I go to bed, a little voice inside my head, awakens me, not at 10 or 11 no, but at 7:00 instead.
So now, "early to bed" is the catch phrase that allows me to catch more Z's these days.
Have a happy day everyone.
