The only time that I ever find it
convenient to enjoy a good
sunrise is when I've been up all night, because there is no way I would voluntarily wake up in time to see a sunrise on my own. For this reason I find that sunrises are more enjoyable than
sunsets, just because they are the most rare for me to see. If I were ever forced to rise from a good night's sleep in time to catch the sun come up, I would squint at it through bleary eyes, say "Oh, that's nice," and get on with the
business that got me up so friggin' early. However, if I've been up until 6:30 in the morning for whatever reason,
psychedelic drugs, a game of
Monopoly that just lasted way beyond its
natural life,
raving all night, I seek out the
rising sun with eyes wide with wonder/dilated
pupils/
sleep deprivation (many of the times it's a
cocktail) and gaze in awe at such a
pure sight. The sunrise is just more
special when you've been conscious for 10 or so hours of
darkness to get to it.
