From Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson); βThereβs never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do.β I feel this way, when I finally turn in late at night.
From my earliest years, I was pried out of bed around 5:00 a.m. My folks were very devout Pentecostal church goers and we probably averaged 5 nights a week of being out late. Sometimes very late. (We never missed a revival or any sort of meeting within driving distance- no matter how old and prone to flat tires and engine failures our old vehicle might be.)
This sleep deprivation lasted almost my entire adult life, what with a household of four children and a child-like husband to care for, while maintaining a career
So, my great joy now is to sleep until I awake naturally. And have nothing planned.
Been retired 20 years. I always say, I have nothing to do and all day to do it. π

"child-like husband"....I have one of those....lol
Kind of makes me wish there was a "dislike" / "sadface" button to express my disapproval on behalf of husbands everywhere.
Guys, don't be a burden on your wives! π±
And wives, be ye not burdens on your husbands : )
You've earned your joy and great that you share it. Thank you.
Some say, βI did nothing today, and it took all day to do it.β
