I'm the "night owl" and so is my mom.
Missy would care less if I got up at 7:00 a.m. to start the day... That's what I did when she was a pup. I am trying to get up more "on time" these days... not working too well, (even though I do set my alarm.).
I'm also a 'night owl'. Sadly, Ra Kismet isn't! His thinking is 'I'm up so everyone else should also be up"! No laying in lovely red chairs, it's full on 'party/play' time!
LOL I don't use an alarm, they've been known to meet with untimely (oops no pun intended) ends! Besides, I have my own personal C.A.C.

Which 'goes off' at 8.a.m. without fail!

No sleeping through a full on 'dog attack' complete with kissy, kissy, tickles and grooming! And if that fails, having the duvet dragged, pawed off from your recumbent, half awake, form!
