Very nice that you've got a pet that shares your sleep schedule. My cats have nicely adjusted themselves to me & my irregular schedule. My work shifts vary so my waking times vary too. Because sleeping easily is never a problem with me, I don't mind really. When I'm active, my cats are too. When I sit down to read or watch TV, they curl up near by. AND they sleep through the night - I'll often wake up to find them asleep in the same spot from the night before.
Iago, you're from Portugal - you should be used to the idea of siestas, or don't the Portuguese make use of them? I've loved the idea since I was a child - a long nap through the heat of the day & then continue longer in the cooler hours of the evening & night. Testing on hundreds of individuals by sleep research labs has shown that world-wide, regardless of culture, people experience a normal slump between 2:00-4:00 PM(roughly). All body functions slow down just like it does 12 hours later in the dead of night except not as greatly. People perform much better mentally & physically if they're able to nap daily. (So all you people who are sleepy mid-day - it just shows we're closer to perfection!)
"I was not that way when I was a young man, but after 40-45 I turned out a copy of my mother (who was a very active lady but after dinner slept like a child...). Do what?"
Was this just a rhetorical question, or were you asking about something? I'm not sure from the above quote. Let me know.I'd never describe myself in the lyrical language you used i.e. "most beautiful & precious jewel" but thank you. I do enjoy life greatly & can feel imbued with elation for life but I wonder if more wouldn't feel it too, if only this present stresses didn't weigh upon them so much. Enthusiasm begats enthusiasm.
