An Alarming Development

One thing I realized while working at ClientLogic is that I really dislike being woken up by an alarm. Regardless of how much sleep I get, whether it's 6 hours or 10 hours, it always feels like a chore to get out of bed if prompted by an alarm clock. Fortunately most of the time I didn't have to start work until 4 PM or later so it was rarely an issue. And now when I work 5 PM - 1 AM, it's also not an issue.

Unfortunately with the new job the weekend shift is 11:30 - 7:30. This means I get up around 10 AM and since I'm a night person that is usually 7.5 hours of sleep at most.

This past weekend however my body seemed set on not being woken by my alarm clock. On Saturday morning I woke up at 10:03 AM when my alarm was set for 10:04 AM. And then this morning I woke up at 9:49 AM when my alarm was set for 9:50 AM. Kind of strange but it felt good because it meant I actually chose to wake up instead of being forced out of bed (even if it may have been the case that my body was subconciously forcing me out of bed).
