Great idea but I think the word "expense" comes into play here

LOL!
In the summer its easy, as it starts getting light outside between 3AM and 4AM... so by the time I get up, its pretty light outside. Its more difficult getting up early in the winter when the sun doesn't come up until sometime between 7AM and 8AM.
But the routine goes: get up, check temperatures. Make coffee. Feed cat. Check, water, mist orchids. Turn computer on. Give cat a lap to sit in. Check email and check the posts here while cat purrs in lap. So you see, if I didn't check in here, I'd be denying my cat valuable lap time! 
I can mostly get that stuff done by 7:30AM, then take a shower, get dressed, have a cup of tea with my neighbor and get to work by 9AM. (I'm fortunate in that my commute is about 10-15 minutes - that's one of the reasons we bought this house!) |

I don't ever see it!! LOL! It does make getting up easier when its light out. And I much prefer that to December where sunrise isn't until 8 AM and it sets just before 4 PM.
