The early sleep experiment.
Posted by darkraven14 on September 1, 2008
I promised one of my friends that I would blog about my experience in going to bed early. In the past two weeks, I’ve been hitting the hay around 5am and waking up around noon. After joking that I would try going to bed early and blogging about the experience (My exact words: “Maybe I should try this ‘going to bed early thing’ and blog about it). So Raven, this is for you.
Timeframe: The following story is true. The names have not been changed, because no one is fucking innocent.
- 1:20am. Get a call from my wife vacationing in MD. Tell her I’m going to head to bed early. Wishes me luck and good night.
- 1:30am. Lie down in bed and cover up with blanket. Get immensely comfortable.
- 1:40am. Cannot reach an REM state due to extremely loud noise coming from my stomach region. Get out of bed and made waffles, due to the speed and simplicity of it.
- 2:00am. Attempted to fall asleep again. Succeeded.
- 3:00am. Woken up by mewing cat jumping into window. Proceeded to give Morgan (my cat) a stern glare. Morgan mews a few more times, then goes to the direction of his food dish, which is full.
- 3:30am. Finally fall back to sleep.
- 4:20am. Woke up, tossed and turned a bit before falling back to sleep 15 minutes later.
- 5:00am Woken again by mewing cat. Repeated the above. Went back to sleep.
- 5:30am Morgan finally falls asleep. Woke up very briefly to observe then went back to sleep.
- 7:30am Woke up again, tossed and turned and fell back to sleep, this time after half an hour.
- 10:15am. Woke up again to use the facilities. Tried to go back to sleep, but could not for some reason. Decided that I wasn’t extremely tired so stayed up.Especially since I needed to be up by around 12:30
Conclusion: Your cat is cognizant of your schedule and if it doesn’t coincide with his schedule, there will be hell to pay. Recommendation: Go to sleep when they do.
