Early risers

I'm usually up at about 5 of a morning - but it's only when you travel (we were up at 3.30am for the trip home) that you realise how many people are routinely up and doing things at that time of day - hotel staff, travellers, air employees, taxi and bus drivers, traffic controllers, rubbish collectors, sea farers ... and all while most people are still snuggled up in their beds. The most amazing thing is that most people are fairly awake at this time - not falling asleep 10 times in a space of moments on the airport shuttle on the way to the airport. Of course, this should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me because I usually manage to catch a few zzz's on every bus trip!
