So we have a time change. It happens every time around this year so its not surprising. The thing I find surprising is the speed in which my internal clock handles it.
My body seems to flow into natural rhythms with astonishing ease. I first wake up at 6:30 or so when the alarm goes off for Mongasika has to go to school. (Why 2nd graders should go to school so early is beyond me). I then doze off until 7:20 when I roll over, look at my clock and sleep again until 7:40 when I repeat the process. At 7:50 my body is fully awake. I shower dress and fly out the door.
You'd think that my body would have started doing these things an hour later under normal circumstances, but no all of them happened the same as if there was no time change. I briefly remember at 7:20 being annoyed at how much light in the room there was, but saw that it was sunlight and not artificial and so just rolled over.
And I've always been able to do this regardless of when I go to sleep. If I lie down at 11 (my normal sleep time) I get up at htose hours. If I stay up til 2:AM I get up at those hours.
In college, I could look at a clock, determine what time I needed to get up, and my body would wake up at that time (within 5-10 minutes). Its a neat trick.
In other news, my dog seems to have the same ability. One of the reasons I get up at 7:20 is that the dog wants to go pee. Apparently she has also adjusted to the time change because she was whining at the door at 7:20 and not 6:20.
