My only bit of luck is that, unlike my mother, I am one of those people who can easily go back to sleep. Mom's a total morning person, but also cursed with that thing where if she wakes up for any reason and looks at a clock/spends more than 30 seconds conscious, she can't fall back asleep for hours.
I am incredibly thankful that this is not the case for me, because otherwise I would be dead by now. :D In addition to being naturally noctural, I'm one of those "just another hour" people, too; I don't want to go to bed at a reasonable hour based on when I need to get up, I want to go to bed at a reasonable hour according to my body's schedule, which says sleeping until 11 is the plan. On the days when I give in and end up sleeping not-nearly-enough hours before 7 AM, I can get up and brush my teeth and feed the cats and then go back to sleep for a couple of hours. (Work schedule permitting, of course.)
