Why do I sleep in?

Why do I lie in bed after my alarm goes off? No, I've gotten a bit smarter than that. My alarm is far enough away from my bed that I must physically get out of bed and walk to it in order to cease it's shrill siren. Yet, even though the act of getting out of bed is accomplished, I will, more than occasionally but less than frequently, simply lumber back and climb into bed again.

Why do I do this? At any time other than the waking hours, I can say with certainty that I enjoy waking up early. Actually, that is probably incorrect. The act of waking up early isn't terribly enjoyable, but being up early is. The world is quiet, filled only with the gentle breathing of the many sleepers, and the quiet noises of the few awake. I have time to myself, but I am not alone. I may do as I please, but I do it quietly. I feel refreshed, the world feels brighter, and I find myself more inspired to do things for others. Quietly cleaning dishes, or making lists, or best of all, making breakfast for those still asleep. I have always loved to wake up to a breakfast freshly made, but I perhaps get even more joy out of making that breakfast for someone else.

Yet, time and time again, I shut off my alarm and am back in my bed before I know it, staring lazily at the rising sun, hoping that it's bright light might push me off my mattress.
