It looks as if Grania is sleeping, and at 11 a.m. in Ireland! That means putting up today’s Hili falls to me, and at short notice! Well, without further ado, here’s the Princess, wide-eyed, bushy tailed, and getting up to mischief:
A: Hili, what are you doing?Hili: I’m trying to commit a mistake from which I will learn later.(Photo: Sarah Lawson)
In Polish:
Ja: Hili, co ty robisz?
Hili: Próbuję popełnić błąd, na którym będę się potem uczyć.

And some Leon lagniappe. The Dark Tabby is off on a hike:
Leon: We haven’t been there yet.
Sorry, couldn’t resist posting this, just found on Facebook: Your Drunk Neighbour
Ha ha, I didn’t get out of bed until 10 am and I’m still tired. It was good to sleep in though despite my 100 pound dog jumping on the bed several times, looking at me closely and whining.
I remain unrepentant. I didn’t get to bed until 3am.
Stay strong, sister and enjoy this VOX article about being a night owl in a 9-5 society.
Oh boy I can relate to that. I have three alarms too so that I can make it to my job on time every morning.
This is moral weakness. . .
Jimminey Crickets, Catman! You’re trying to sleep-shame me. Sleep-shaming isn’t even a thing, so it won’t work.
Three alarms is me trying to do my best to keep up as a differently-sleeping person in a 9-5 world that refuses to check its privilege.
I think my fatigue issues are compounded with not being a morning person. I tend to wake up, no matter how exhausted I’ve been all day, around 6PM and then the only reason I fall asleep by 10 is because I take a bunch of medication that makes me drowsy as a side effect. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to sleep until late into the night. It’s gotten better as I’ve aged but I’ve been monitoring my sleep with an app at night and you can see I enter deep sleep in the morning so I’m being woken up at the worst possible time.
I wake up (proper) probably around 4pm, which means the first seven hours of the day for me are not fun.
Although your issue sounds rather more extreme than mine.
I’m one of the extreme-est extremists. I’m seldom tired until dawn. Of course we atypicals spend the majority of our lives meeting day-person schedules–school, work, family-raising, whatever. Now that my kids are off on their own, though, I’m getting quite decadent.
Note that the article (thanks Diana) mentions that we’re a significant minority (of course we are, or standard working hours would be quite different!). I suppose if there’s some adaptive advantage it would be having night watch-people while the majority slept, and a given population would only need a handful of those…Or perhaps nature anticipated show biz. 😉
