Sometimes I waked up after only a couple of hours a sleep and think that it’s my regular time to get up. Most days I wake in between 4 and 5 am. But sometimes I wake at like 1 am thinking its 4 or 5. Last night was one of those nights.
I find it interesting because my mind for the most part is so convinced of it. That it usually isn’t until i sit down after having made my first cup of coffee before I realize the true time. I curse a bit in my head since I don’t want to wake up the 2 sleeping fluffies and their beautiful queen.
I haven’t really done in research into why this happens but I think I might start looking into it. Most of the time though I don’t mind. “I might get a few more things done” i say to myself. Sometimes I do, Sometimes I start overhauling WordPress themes until its time to get ready for work. Lucky for me it’s Saturday. So no work for this guy.

Sometimes I am able to fall back asleep. Last night I was able to do that after I got upstairs to the loft. Opting for laying back down on the couch vs turning on the news like normal. Good choice I think.
It appears that others out there might call this a biphasic sleep schedule. Rather than the other choice of late night insomnia. I like biphasic more I think. it sounds a bit more controlled and science fiction(esque). So we’ll go with that one.
On another note. My favorite Author David McRaney emailed me yesterday to let me know that the cookie recipe I sent him (my wifes macroon kisses) have won and he sending me a signed copy of his new book “You Are Now Less Dumb”. I highly suggest it and would also suggest reading his first book “You Are Not So Smart”. Both are based on Cognitive Science and other cool stuff. They have helped me discover why i think the way that I do and that there are others out there that are just as abnormally normal as I am.
Which is probably another reason I like Douglas Adams So much. A favorite quote of mine
“I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don’t know the answer”
