Sometimes we have to put others needs above our own, but dude, bad fonts could be the exception.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Woke up at 6:45. Why? No good reason. You win this round, body.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't sleep that well with my noisy air-conditioner on, but I think it would be worse with it off! Bleh.

I woke up at 3:50am (ten minutes before my alarm) for this 6:15am flight (which is now 20 minutes late for takeoff due to an issue with one of the bathrooms apparently). I guess this will help me be on east coast time but dang.

I woke up just before 5 a.m., which is my normal time. I set an alarm, but it only goes off maybe 3-4 times a year. My DH assumes something is wrong -- I'm sick, maybe -- when I actually wake to an alarm. I am no more likely to need an alarm to get up super early for a flight than I am at my regular time. I just hate alarms.

I only use an alarm if I have an early flight or obligation. Then I wake before it goes off anyway. Waking to an alarm just sounds awful to me, and I wake early anyway.
I'm theoretically trying this intermittent fasting thing where you don't eat for 14-16 hours a day and cram all the eating into 8 hours. This conflicts with my desire to eat when I first wake up and snack in the evening. Not sure this is going to work out for me.
Also, in case you haven't noticed, the world has gone mad.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I never ever used to need an alarm -- I would set it, as a backup, but I always woke up about 3 minutes before it was set to go off. (This infuriated my college roommate. She said it just wasn't natural to just...wake up when you needed to.)
Then I hit my 30s and my body was like, "Yeah, sleep is WAY better, and I might even ignore that alarm thingie." God knows I sleep through Tim's alarm every morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've been waking up before my alarm lately, and I don't like it. I've been waking up with stiff neck and shoulders, so I think I need new pillows.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The only time I do not need an alarm is occasionally when I am at someone else's house. I am part bear and will sleep upwards of 10 hours at a pop given the chance. Also a night owl and will stay up way too late if I do not watch myself.
