Dear So and So

[indysteel]

Dear Body: Nighttime is sleepytime. When I say nighttime, I especially mean around 3am. If you wake up and look at the clock and it says something like "3:21" and it's dark, that is a good sign that you should go right back to sleep, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I'll give you $200 if you just go back to sleep.

Conversely, daytime is wakeyupy time. When the alarm rings, you don't need to hit snooze for 45 minutes. The only reason you need a nap at 11:34 is because you didn't want to sleep at 3:21.

Let's review: nighttime=sleepytime. daytime=wakeyupytime. Got it? Good. Now have some coffee. It's wakeyupytime.

Ugh; I need to have the same conversation with my body/mind. Every night, I wake up around 3:30/4 and am wide awake. I eventually do fall back asleep, but only just in time for the alarm at 5:45. It's so annoying.
