it's called staying up late enough to watch the sun rise and being able to fall asleep during it before it gets too bright.
because normally, when you get up to watch the sunrise, its kind of annoying. because after that you have to stay up and there's a whole day ahead of you. waking up to see the sunrise usually means just waking up early, so you'll be tired, usually.
but how nice is it when, you're very tired after a long night, but not exactly sleepy. and then, it comes around to being you know 5 am. and then you start getting sleepy and you look out your window and here comes the sun, softly and slowly rising. so you nestle in somewhere, like a couch or a bed or somewhere comfortable, and then rest your eyes a little while the grey-blue of the morning wafts in through your window. and if you have the window open, the air is damp and misty. and then you can open your eyes every now and then until you just see the sun peaking up over the horizon. then you know you can close your eyes, and just drift off and off into a beautiful rest. and guess what? you can wake up whenever you'd like to.
what a lovely thing.
