I returned home yesterday from a week-long holiday trip to Colorado and Oklahoma, visiting relatives. While I enjoyed the trip, it wasn't particularly restful. I had only a couple of days in one place, then another trip to the airport. The last night, I flew from Oklahoma to Denver to connect with Pam. That flight was late, so it was after 10 pm before we got to the hotel, and we had to get up at 4:30 am to catch our early morning flight home. We were both very tired when we arrived in the early afternoon.
I went to bed at 9 o'clock last night, and got up a little after 8 this morning. I noticed something different right away. Usually, when I first get up, I have a short period when I need to find my balance, gather my mind, and finish waking up as I stumble out of bed and into the bathroom.
This morning, my feet landed on the floor, I stood up, and felt wide awake, in complete balance, and ready to go. Was this because I'd slept 11 hours, letting my body, not a schedule, decide when to rise?
