POTD: Always 4:02

8 November 2008 Comments

I fall asleep on the couch . . . a lot.  Partially because I enjoy laying downstairs and watching TV at night and also because my couches are pretty comfortable to say the least.  Either way, I’d say at least two nights a week, I end up falling asleep in the living room.  I never really worry much about setting an alarm, because I figure at the very least, Kristi would wake me up on the way by to head to work (I’m not the heaviest of sleepers).  And if not, I probably needed the sleep anyways.

However, I never really make it to that point where I need to be woken up to head to work.  I almost always wake up at 4:02.  I mean like 80% of the time, the clock reads exactly 4:02 when I wake up.  The other strange thing is that it’s started happening when I’m actually in bed too.  I grabbed my BlackBerry the other night and snapped a photo after it had happened three nights in a row.

Think there’s any reasoning behind this?  Is my body just programmed to naturally wake up then and give a general check on life?  It doesn’t matter what time I go to bed.  If I go to bed at 3am, there’s still a pretty good chance that I’ll wake up at 4:02.  Wonder if it’s because my body knows that I’m working on drawing a new tattoo that’s mainly the numbers, 402.
