Morning had come, this was the first time Valerie was awakened by the sound of a rooster crowing. The Chastain Mansion did keep a lot of animals. Even though they didn't eat eggs, the human servants there were allowed to take care of them in the garden. Even though it was morning, it was still quite dark. There was only a tinge of orange on the horizon which indicates the sun was not yet ready to be fully present.
Vampires always wake up refreshed. No sleepiness left. They never even fell asleep. Because their bodies didn't actually need sleep. They could close their eyes and dream, lying down for a few hours could relax their sore muscles. It will restore their fitness. But never a vampire died from not sleeping.
Even so, sleeping became a habit for some vampires. It helps them organize their daily schedule. Also to rest their brains.
