For nearly 10 years I woke up at 2:30 or 3 am for the CHFI/680 News morning shows. I had done morning shows before that but this was my longest consistent run of getting up “at the crack of stupid”.
Today I’m filling in for McArthur in the Morning. It’s a one-off, until later in the summer when I do it for a week. So I set my alarm for 3:40. I woke up a couple of times and checked the clock but overall, I slept pretty well. In fact, I woke up at 3:25 am and figured, may as well…
Now keep in mind that during my 7 month hiatus from daily radio I slept until 5:30 or six most mornings but I had been known to put off getting out of the covers until 7 or 730 sometimes and became pretty accustomed to a daily nap! So the fact that I’m up and alert and constructing complete sentences right now is pretty impressive, I’d say. Apparently morning radio is now part of my DNA. So tell me, is that impressive??? Or kind of sad???!!
