It is dark at 6am. It's going to be darker soon with daylight savings.
Sleep training is organic. We are babies, up all night, training our parents to become early risers, if they take lesson, so they can get ahead of us while we sleep as teens. We sleep all over the map from ages 10-20 (+/- 4) and then sleep train for our jobs or careers. If one finds themselves working third shift at a manufacturing plant or 24 hour shifts as a transplant surgeon or embarking on a morning commute, the career path becomes the baby sleep trainer. We are trained for this.
Fall mornings are training for dark winter mornings. The September Equinox in the northern hemisphere represents a deep shift and change is hard. I read on a blog about depression that September is tough.
I start back to work on Monday. Once again. This time, family and health and sleep and work over anxiety/depression about the fundamental changes & shifts daily or quarterly or annually that reach my very core but I don't always know how to acknowledge because I want to know, or think I know. Infinite wisdom knows what we need and guides us every day when we are still. We can't know it all so we lose sleep, wondering why what we now know isn't what we thought. We don't get quiet and still and listen to that little spiritual voice from God that knew before it got drowned out by the uncertainty of the world.
Sleep and know you don't always know.
