I actually kinda like waking somewhere between 2 and 4am and beginning a trip. It’s slightly more adventurous. It’s a little like Christmas. You go to sleep early, and when your alarm goes off you shake the sleep from your eyes and embark. The lighting is different outside at this time of night. The streets are hushed and deserted because, of *course*, most people are home in bed, asleep.
I like leaving on a journey at this time.
I do NOT like being the one who awakes to facilitate the embarking on a journey, but then has to go back to bed, wake up – AGAIN – and go to work at 8:30 the next morning.
It especially rankles me to have to drive through the seedy parts of Los Angeles (with all the scary homeless people standing around and staring at you as you drive by) in order to accomplish this.
The final irritation is to wake up (the second time), sleepy as hell, knowing that somewhere, someone (not YOU!) is speeding down a freeway (even if it has to be by way of bus) on his way to parts unknown.
Sigh.
