Feeling like you've gone through a time warp? You probably are waking up at midnight. You feel very well rested and may find it incredibly difficult to fall back to sleep. Regardless if you fell asleep at 8pm or 11:30pm, you're feeling like you've slept for days and would be perfectly fine getting up and starting the day.
3am
Even if you have to get up at 4:30am (which I DO, two days a week...) waking up from reflex at 3am floods you with a sense of relief. There's nothing like the panic of thinking it's just a few minutes before the alarm sounds only to find that you've got at LEAST an hour and a half of sleep left.
4:30am
Sheer panic. Panic that floods you with energy. Something is just sick and wrong about waking up for the day at 4:30. And even if you have another hour of sleep, it's just like a slap in the face to wake up at 4:30. The only way this can feel good is if you get to sleep in until noon. If you DO have to get up for the day at 4:30, then that panic really fuels you. You get ready far faster than you should. You crash at about 6am, but come 7:50 you're doing much better.
5:30am
It's a terrible feeling like 4:30 am but it doesn't feel so wrong. This is bad. The lack of worry saps you of energy. If you were able to shower, do your hair, make up, get dressed, eat breakfast, make lunch, and pack your book bag in 30 minutes the day before (waking up at 4:30), it'll take you, for some reason, about 4 hours to get everything together. And you're stressed, but tired stress.
6:00am
Thirty minutes later you're waking up like a dream. Mainly because the sun's awake. If the sun's awake, you're awake.
9:00am
If it's a week day, you feel like you've lost 2 valuable hours of homework. If it's a weekend you feel like you've wasted a wonderful opportunity to sleep in.
10:00am
No point in getting up. Go back to sleep.
