File under: Stuff other people already knew

I got up five hours before I had to be at work today. Six in the motherfucking AM. Usually I get up about ten-fifteen. This is very unfortunate for my room-mate when you consider that my alarm is set to nine.

The thing is, last night there was nothing on TV and I was so bored by ten that I decided to just...fall asleep. Intentionally. Like, I mean that I purposefully took off my clothes and brushed my teeth and got under the covers at approximately the same time that eighth graders go to bed. Nerdy, loser type eighth graders whose parents aren't divorced. And did you guys know that if you fall asleep at 10, you wake up at like, six?! Amaaaaaaazing. Now I know this sounds like some sort of new age, hippy-dippy bullshit but I swear to Ra, I almost feel like my body has some sort of internal clock that wakes me up eight hours after I fall asleep even if the alarm hasn't gone off. Has this ever happened to you guys? Have you heard about this? Cuz it's pretty much the shiz-nit.

You guys, I am so doing this all the time. I don't know if you've ever considered it from this angle, but it turns out that if you get up early that you get a lot of shit done. It's almost as if you have more time. Bam! Laundry done, paperwork annihilated, floors mopped, registration renewed, cat cuddled, gym visited...twice. I know. I'm pretty much amazing. I can't wait to fall asleep again tonight. At eleven. I've got a spot all picked out too, right where a certain somebody's shoulder meets his chest. Can't. Wait.

I don't know whether the right tone is... Heeeeeeey!!!! I always go to bed around 10. What do you mean nerdy?!!
Or srsly! It's amazing the amount of work that gets done during early morning hours. 3 hours of morning work is like 6 hrs of evening work (might have something to do with no TV in the a.m.)
Also, I too am pre-programmed to wake up 7-8 hrs after I've gone to sleep, OR, at 630 a.m....
whichever comes first.

Was up early myself-- got up 90 minutes ahead of normal. So I could be on a five-minute long conference call. Grr.

When I was working from home, for myself (read: unemployed), I always went to bed at 2AM and woke up at 10, no alarm. The good old days...

Up at 5:30a, in bed by 10:00p. Earlier if I can help it. Yeah, that's my life. Meh.
