Also have problems with ‘virtuous’ ‘have to meditate for an hour’ (ie sit on iPhone/ipad) before going to the golf or for a swim type husband - who couldn’t care less if he wakes me after a bad night and I can’t get back to sleep. He is in bed every night by 9. Feel guilty if I’m up till 9.15. You’re not alone!! K

That book sounds horrendous - performative bullshit. People will make a virtue out of anything. I am a naturally early riser and love it because of the peace both indoors and out at that time. But I’m actually very glad that most of the people around me aren’t because I would resent their presence if they were up. Quite happy to admit how selfish I am about it!

Well exactly that is the real joy, to be up when nobody else is (which tbf was also what my husband enjoyed/enjoys) - but as you say, no need to boast about it!
