Yesterday evening, while I was enjoying a glass of wine, it came
to me that perhaps I should consider getting up at 4:00 AM, just to get an idea
of the sorts of things that would be going on at that time. I didn't do it in
the end – I slept right through - but if I had done it, the interesting thing
is (well, interesting for me and perhaps a couple of sleep researchers
somewhere in Stockholm) I wouldn't have needed an alarm clock because I've
found if I say to myself as I go to bed something like, "It's important
that you wake up at 4:00 AM - I won't go into details right now, but suffice it
to say you must wake up at 4:00," I will wake up at 4:00, probably a
little confused as to why I'm up at that particular time, but nonetheless awake
and ready to go. Funny old thing the human brain; it can think up absolutely
mindless drivel like the TV show 'Two And A Half Men,' and then do that thing where
it can wake you up at 4:00 AM without ever being given any clear reason why it
should.
