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.
