Becoming a father has challenged my sleep schedule to change. I'm still naturally a night owl, but now I have more respect for my need to sleep early.

I’ve always been a night owl, and getting into my 30s I had to adjust for an earlier schedule. But it usually takes about 3 days of no strict schedule where I’m back to going to bed late—but I never wake up past like 8/8:30. Usually putting me between 6-8hrs of sleep. But no matter what time I wake up, I’m always of the “it’s only 10:30” camp. Because I like my mornings slow, and when I have an early call time, 10:30 is still mid morning. So, I’m at work at 5? It’s almost lunch at 10, but it’s still only 10.
