True, its a drag getting gout of bed. Especially when you just closed your eyes when the clock read 2 am. 5.30 am is not supposed to be a good time for people with nocturnal habits. Good time to go to bed bad. Bad time to get out of it. Nevertheless, considering the water scarcity, its better to get your daily affairs down while wter is still flowing from the tap.
