I am a HORRIBLE morning person, and I often have insomnia and other sleep issues at night. My wife has more of a tendency to fall asleep earlier, which can leave me awake with too much time on my hands. From about 8:00 p.m. to sometimes as late as 3:00 a.m., I can feel too tired to do anything productive, but too wired to go to sleep. This is particularly hard raising small children. This can cause imbalance in all aspects of my life. Sometimes, I go through serial stints where I can feel quite balanced, but then I can fall off the wagon quite easily. I wish I weren't a night owl. It can make it hard to connect.

As I said elsewhere...
