Contradictions

I know I just wrote a post about being a night person... however, this morning I was out of bed at 6:20 a.m. and I was at work at 7 a.m. even though I could have slept in until at least 8 a.m. The thing is that I have a cold and my head feels stuffed so I could not sleep and I figured I might as well get up, have some tea and do something productive rather than stay in bed and feel miserable :) And it actually worked! The weird thing though was that it was still dark outside when I walked out so you could not really tell - it felt more like an evening. This is the time of the year when you start noticing that days are getting considerably shorter and the nights longer, which I could definitely feel this morning.
