I used to be a morning person, back when the New Kids on the Block were still new. Not anymore.
Now, when my phone buzzes at 5:30 am, I usually hit snooze (at least once) before one annoying neuron, buried deep within the gray matter, insists that I get up.

So, I find the New York Times on my phone, let one eyelid slide shut, and work like Hercules to keep the other open. “G.O.P Senator, Bob Coker, is a Key Player in…”…so tired.
I lay in bed with the lights off, head limp on the pillow, legs nestled between the sheets, and wait for my iPhone to usher me into the promised land of energetic wakefulness.
