I won't bore you with all the statistical details, but here's a little ditty from people who conducted a poll... of those who were awake, one presumes (http://www.bettersleep.org/pressroom/hibernate.asp):
So then it's NOT just me! Whew. Now while all this is well and justifiable, the calendar makes it clear that we are no longer in winter... we have sprung! Even Punxsutawney Phil has proclaimed the season is rebirth is upon us.
'The findings confirm what we've suspected all along. After all, who hasn't snuggled further underneath the covers for a little extra sleep on a cold morning?" In general, people prefer to lounge in bed rather than venture out in wintry climates. More than one-half of adults read more; and almost two-thirds spend more time watching television. With all the sleeping, reading and TV watching to be enjoyed while it's cold outside, only one person in ten pursues outdoor activities more in the winter than the summer.
Fortunately my internal widgets have responded in kind. Suddenly I am ever so keen to ride my bike in order to take in mother nature's newly green and fragrant glory, to wake up and start my day earlier... despite daylight savings' time absconding of morning light, to start buying lettuce again -- as a saladaholic it is disconcerting that i eschew cold greens in the winter months.
All said, I am eager and jubilant about the prospects of this year's rebirth. I have had my winter roots weaved, have ceremoniously stored my Ugg boots, and am about to break out the white apparel and pastels... heck I may even go get a smoothie!
Bikini body here I come!
