Everyday this week I’ve woken up two to three hours before the alarm. Monday and Tuesday it was 7. Yesterday was 6:30. Today, just before 6. I haven’t naturally woken up this early this consistently since I was 10 years old. It’s kind of nice. I’ve already taken my shower and eaten, so I still have an hour to spare before getting to work a half hour early.

See, this is why before 6 is a bit too much.

I wonder if this waking early has to do with the fact that part of my brain knows I have hot cocoa.

INT. Brain

(8:30, any usual weekday)

WAKE IMPULSE: Dude, you have to get up.
SLEEP IMPULSE: Fuck you, dude.
WAKE IMP.: You’ve hit the alarm four times.
SLEEP IMP.: Don’t you understand? There nothing for us there.
WAKE IMP.: What?
SLEEP IMP.: No cereal, no eggs and bacon, no bagels, no hot cocoa. I’m totally not getting up.
WAKE IMP.: Yeah, screw it.

(But now…)

(5:49, today)

WAKE IMPULSE: Get up, dude.
SLEEP IMPULSE: Are you crazy, or just fuckin’ stupid?
WAKE IMP.: Hot Cocoa.
SLEEP IMPULSE: Dude, I’m there. Procure a morning paper.
