RE: Pumpkin spice sunset

Those pictures are beautiful. It is strange how our circadian rhythms change when the time changes along with the seasons. I've noticed that my sleep patterns have been a bit off lately as well. Sounds like you have it a bit worse then I do though. But I dont think its unhealthy if you generally tend to be a night owl. I think that we sometimes feel that we have to sleep just like everyone else in order to be healthy (sleep at night and for 8 hours). But a lot of research shows that people tend to sleep very differently and still remain healthy. Anything between 5-10 hours of sleep per night is considered normal. I think it's when people shift between night and day sleep regularly that it becomes an issue, like in the case of shift workers. Interestingly though the issue doesnt seem to be related to the actual sleep cycle though. New research is suggesting that the issue might be with digestion and constantly altering ones eating habit cycles. Just something I read a while back.
But If you're comfortable and feel energized when you wake up that's the most important thing.

Thank you! :)

I recently did some night sift work and I got to say seeing people who do that kind of job regularly, you can tell the difference in their faces, energy levels and also heard that if the sleeping patterns move around a lot, some people have issues with digestion.

Night time for me is a very creative time. Always been that way. Not a morning person at all. Usually feel low on energy entire day if I had to wake up earlier than I naturally would. So I think you are right about that :)
