Either it's the season or I really am taking My Father's edict to heart, but I have turned in earlier than usual just about half the nights the past fortnight.  Usually after a long night out (with no rest in the evening), I feel like crashing around 1, 2 or 3, and then I do, and I wake up at a respectable hour, like 10, 9 ... or even 8:30, like I did this morning.  Scary weird ... and yet I feel quite satisfied at the six hours of sleep I got.  And this despite the fact that I'm fucking late on a lot of writing I have to do.

Is My Father right?  Oh, I hope to God it's no. ...
