Only a few short years ago, when I was a student, I could and would lie in to 10:00, 11:00, even sometimes past 12:00. Those were the days...

Now, I have to get up at 05:45 for my current site, and that leaves with less than 20 minutes to get sorted before I then have to drive for 1.5 hours plus. Definitely not safe, but I'll be damned if I'm getting up even five minutes earlier than that.

Apart from that, I also have a cat, which I feed when I get up in the week. So, come the weekends/holidays, the cat is usually pretty insistent that I/we get up to feed him around the same sort of time. It's rare that I/we can ignore him past 07:30 at the latest.

Besides, I now also feel like I'm wasting half the day if I get up after 09:00. Oh how times change...
