Early morning bed times.

I have noticed, that lately, I'm finding myself going to bed when the sun is coming up. And I have also discovered that I am super awake and my voice gets loud between 4-5am. As if this is "my hour" or something. So if I could just always stay up till this time of morning, then I'd be set. Well, set for destruction is more like it. I actually think it's just the whole, "kid is about to crash" moment, where they get super rambunctious right before they run out of steam and pass out cold. Like the body is desperately grasping for any remaining energies and sucks the spirit dry before it realizes there is nothing feeding the source and so it collapses. (sputter-sputter-dead).
Now, these events are tolerable if they aren't followed by 1 hour of sleep, and a 9 hour work day. After all I'm not in the Marine Corps anymore, and I don't have the same psychotic drive that once inspired me to masochistically volunteer for 24/7 discipline (#blood/sweat/tears). Nowadays I just do these things to myself, minus the input of shaven heads and machine guns.
