Are you more of a night or morning person?

After a fun, busy, but very cold day, I got home and took a nap. At the time of writing this, I’ve not been awake long. I was awake briefly for my care call, but I went almost straight back to sleep, so I don’t tend to count that.

I will probably be awake for several hours, which will annoying leave me feeling tired tomorrow, despite having slept fairly well.

Now last night I last quite well, so despite going out for a few hours, shouldn’t have been as tired as I was. But that’s fatigue for you. You don’t get to choose when you’re tired, it has almost no relation to whether you have slept or not.

It might be worth remembering that I’m always a little tired, I often say to people I was born tired. Occasionally I am so tired that I’m not able to function without a nap which usually lasts a few hours first. That was the position I found myself in tonight.

This is my best guess at what fatigue is for me, I refer to this as CP Tired, as I know this is tiredness that for me comes from my Cerebral Pasly. But as I’ve suffered from both Cerebral Pasly and this tiredness my whole life, there’s nothing I can pinpoint as a change and a distinctive development of fatigue. It’s just the way my life has always been, and will always be.

So I find this question hard to answer, given the fact I’m always tired in some way. I do have an early care call in the morning, but that is so I can be up and have the most choice and control over what I do with my day. It’s not actually because I like to be up early in the morning. I often end up going back to sleep for a few hours in my chair, depending on my plans for the day.

Based on what I’ve told you, I think I’m going to leave you to determine the answer to this one for me.

Do you think I’m more of a morning or a nice person?

The truth is I honestly don’t know.
