Cathy Pickren is an early-morning seminary teacher — not a morning person.

So she knows a crash is coming.

"I have the energy to do it during the school year, but after it's over I drop like a popped balloon," said Pickren, of Saratoga, Wyo. "I sleep for about two weeks."

When school resumes in the fall, however, she'll once again put in hours of daily lesson preparation, get by on five or six hours of sleep a night and arrive at the Laramie meetinghouse each weekday morning for the 6:15 a.m. class.

"Something sacred happens every day," she said. "It's so worth it."
