Today has been a wonderful Sunday. Fully relaxing, with one very important lesson, with some noteworthy consequences. I will illustrate with some simple logic:
Sunlight naturally tells the body to wake up.
Black-out curtains block out the sunlight.
THEREFORE:
The body is not naturally going to wake up due to sunlight when black-out curtains are on the windows.
Yes folks, part of the reason we are so rested today is indeed because we are over-slept, and are happier for it. This morning we both had a hard time pulling ourselves out of bed for church; in our room it looked like 2am, when in fact it was 9:30am. When we pulled back the curtains, this became abundantly clear. And we made it to church "just" on time.
This afternoon, watching a little bit of the "The Gospel of John," we decided to take a quick nap. Due to a "malfunction" of the alarm clock (aka. Sara shut it off in her sleep), our nap went much longer than intended. So now it is 10:30 at night, and we feel like it's closer to 7pm.
Lesson learned: When the alarm clock goes off, shut it off, get out of bed, and pull back the curtains. We will be better off for it.
Tomorrow will be yet another well-rested day.
