Morning People, Night People

I don't care what Adam Khoo says about energising yourself.

If you don't get enough sleep, you'd be EXHAUSTED and no amount of energizing is going to work if you're constantly EXHAUSTED.

There are so many things to take into account - whether you're a morning person or nocturnal (I forgot what the day people are called), whether you can catnap anywhere, anytime, anyhow (the NS Boys have got THAT down pat) whether your outlook in life is optimistic or pessimistic, or just plain bored-with-life, whether the topic interests you etc.

And different people have differing energy levels at different times of the day.

What Adam Khoo can do with his energizing is only for the short term. He conducts courses that are pretty eye-opening, but terribly exhausting (start at 9am, finish at 2am the next day, come back to class again at 9am and go back again at those Godawful Hours, for 4 days straight). After that kind of pace, I'd CRASH for the next 4 days. And I did. This old body can't take this kind of punishment no more *grin*

For the record, I'm a NIGHT person. Days are groggy and nothing creative or productive gets going. Nights, however, is PARTY time. Actually, I get pretty creative in the late evenings, which is why dinner is delicious. Lunch always sucks, I'm too zoned out still, and that's why lunch is eaten outside. *giggle*

Having said that, I'm still able to energize myself the way Adam Khoo says we should. If we have a driving holiday to Malaysia, I'm the first one up, and make sure all the things are loaded up, the house is shut properly, the kids are safely strapped in, and I'm the driver. We leave for our holiday at 4am, to beat the traffic and to get the most out of the day.

So I CAN be a morning person, if needs be. Adrenaline works. ALWAYS. *grin* But you crash and burn after.
