Early Rising

I've finally found a way to get up early to pray the Office Of Readings and Morning Prayer that works for me; and it's not just going to bed early.  I tried that, but I would often just end up lying awake for hours.
So what do I do now that helps me get to sleep soon after I go to bed?
Well, it's not what I do, but rather, what I've stopped doing.
I don't take naps any more.  
I'm not recommending this for everyone, but it works for me.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
