My partner on the other hand is a spring out of bed at the crack of noon person. 7am would be torture for him.<br />Recurrent/ongoing headaches are a beast. A doctor gave me a trick which (mostly) works for me. Take an anti-nausea tablet (whether you feel sick or not). Half an hour later take your analgesic of choice. I don't know (or really care) why it works but that simple procedure has made a big difference for me.<br />I do hope you find a solution with the PSW that works for all of you.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-44052160446013432312020-06-24T10:25:03.854-04:002020-06-24T10:25:03.854-04:00That did cross my mind David, youngsters don't...That did cross my mind David, youngsters don't develop the white heads early do they?

I go to bed so late at night, about the only time I have to do things like read, after Matt has gone to bed, so if I got up early I wouldn't get much sleep at all. Even getting up at 7 I still get a little time to myself. No point a PSW coming so early when Matt is still fast asleep. I needed you here this morning there was a huge bird flying past and I didn't know what it was. I am guessing a red tail, but it seemed bigger than that. Couldn't see it that clearly.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-77020720304533132972020-06-24T09:20:08.777-04:002020-06-24T09:20:08.777-04:00I hope your headache goes away, Jo.

As for getting up early I have done so all my life and would have no trouble with it. In fact, generally speaking, I prefer to get stuff out of the way early, so that I have the rest of the day open. To be outside at dawn is perfect for me. But, I understand that if people are not early risers that may not suit them at all.David M.
