In the Pursuits section of Saturday's Wall Street Journal you can find an article "When life Begins at 5: A New Wake-Up Call," by John Jurgensen) on the evidence that Americans are getting up earlier than they used to. For example:
Aqua America, a water supplier for 13 states, has seen everything from toilets to washing machines starting up earlier: The company's booster pumps now kick into gear at 5:30 a.m. in Philadelphia, instead of 6 a.m. providing 20% additional water pressure to meet higher demand.
My alarm goes off at 6:05 (and I either get up or nudge Mr. J, depending on who has to leave first that day). Those of you getting up at 5:30, please keep the noise down.
