Good morning😃 I love your description of the waking process. I have recently started using eye drops when I wake and they leave me with a few minutes of blurry vision. Now I listen to a meditation on the Healthy Minds app while my eyes absorb the drops. This sure beats checking out the news first thing in the morning.

The data about early morning cardiovascular events confirms my experience as a night nurse, those waking hours can be risky.

BTW, was that sharp pain in your foot Lego related?😅

“You couldn’t go back to sleep now, even if it were a lazy Saturday and you were snowed into a cozy cabin somewhere in the fjords of Norway, surrounded by all things hygge. Instead, you are in New Jersey, and it’s now almost 7:02 AM.”

My skin bristled while I read this passage. Seriously great paragraph. I am secondarily impressed that you used the word “hygge” without using IKEA for reference.
