I’m starting to think the later-night valleys in my sleep cycle are around 3 hours apart. Why do I think this? Well, because I can strangely wake up without much issue around 5:30-5:45. In fact I often wake up right around then, see that it’s still dark out and just zonk back out. If I do that, and I’m able to sleep in I tend to wake up again at around 8:45 without much issue.

Suffice it to say I usually need to wake up somewhere in between the those two times… and that waking me up is the final practical exam for mad scientist trainees enrolled in Reanimating the Dead 101.

I may have to become one of those evil “morning people” because 8:45 is just too late and I’m starting (after 9 years of marriage, grant you) to feel bad for what my wife has to do to get me up. I guess this what that whole “acting like an adult” thing is all about.
