an alarm clock.....
i laid down earlier to take a nap. i set the kitchen timer for 2 hours and clipped it to the curtain next to me. i started it, laid down and started to read some of stephen kings' "cell". i drifted off after 15 - 20 mins. i awoke some time later, got up, went to the bathroom. when i came out the timer was going off. it counts backwards after it goes off. it had been going off for 12 seconds.
i can lay down to sleep and tell myself when i want to wake. i'm wake before the alarm goes off, every time. usually within 10 mins of the actual time. today i pretty much nailed it dead on. this i've been able to do for 3 - 4 years now. the wife has been setting the alarm clock for years so i get up for work in the morning. i turn it off while i'm having my second cup of coffee.
i often get caught in 1 hour ruts. no matter what i do i wake at 3:45am, 4:45am, 5:45am........ i have then same problem at night. i fall asleep for an hour every hour. it's just weird.
