Early Praiser or Late Sleeper?

I ran across this the other day on the internet. The quote is from a guy named William Law found in the book From the Library of A.W. Tozer: Selected Writers who Influenced His Spiritual Journey.

We don't often read authors from the 1700s but this excerpt lays in straight how we are spending our early morning time. I must admit that I am guilty of getting up early and rushing to get ready for work or hitting the snooze alarm a few time before drowsily getting out of bed. After reading this I really will be more thoughtful about my early morning activity.
Here’s what Mr. Law has to say about that… 

I come now to consider that part of devotion which relates to times and    hours of prayer.I take it for granted, that every Christian, that is in health, is up early in the morning; for it is much more reasonable to suppose a    person up early, because he is a Christian, than because he is a    labourer, or a tradesman, or a servant, or has business that wants him.

We naturally conceive some abhorrence of a man that is in bed when he    should be at his labor or in his shop. We cannot tell how to think    anything good of him, who is such a slave to drowsiness as to neglect    his business for it.

Let this therefore teach us to conceive how odious we must appear in the sight of Heaven, if we are in bed, shut up in sleep and darkness, when we should be praising God; and are such slaves to drowsiness, as to neglect our devotions for it.

For if he is to be blamed as a slothful drone, that rather chooses the lazy indulgence of sleep, than to perform his proper share of worldly business; how much more is he to be reproached, that would rather lie folded up in a bed, than be raising up his heart to God in acts of praise and adoration!

Prayer is the nearest approach to God, and the highest enjoyment of Him, that we are capable of in this life. It is the noblest exercise of the soul, the most exalted use of our best faculties, and the highest imitation of the blessed inhabitants of Heaven.
When our hearts are full of God, sending up holy desires to the throne of grace, we are then in our highest state, we are upon the utmost heights of human greatness; we are not before kings and princes, but in the presence and audience of the Lord of all the world, and can be no higher, till death is swallowed up in glory.

On the other hand, sleep is the poorest, dullest refreshment of the body, that is so far from being intended as an enjoyment, that we are forced to receive it either in a state of insensibility, or in the folly of dreams.

Sleep is such a dull, stupid state of existence, that even amongst mere animals, we despise them most which are most drowsy.

He, therefore, that chooses to enlarge the slothful indulgence of sleep, rather than be early at his devotions to God, chooses the dullest refreshment of the body, before the highest, noblest employment of the soul; he chooses that state which is a reproach to mere animals, rather than that exercise which is the glory of Angels.
