Delay in oil pressure during first start of the day.

List members,

Although I've only checked now a couple of times it looks like when I
crank the engine for the first time of the day there is 3-5 second
delay before my gauge reads oil pressure.

It is like the oil is draining down overnight and it takes a few
seconds for the oil system to pump up. Is this normal? Anything I can
do to further protect my engine?

Thanks,
--Rick
