I wish I lived close enough to sleep through 4am. Problem is that I know I would have a 50/50 on making it on time between 6-9am. That's just not the reliability I want to show anyone and its not my style. Besides I like my wake up shower and hot coffee ready when I get out. Their is definitely no time for that if you get called unless you live in silicon valley or somewhere close.
Like I said some guys around here do that but the numbers and the odds just don't add up reliably enough for me.
