last night, a little before two, i went to bed. before i fell asleep, i decided i would get up at seven. i didn't set an alarm, i just wanted to get up at seven.

at seven-oh-six, i rolled over and looked at my alarm clock, sitting silent and meditative beside my bed. i decided to sleep for another hour.

at eight-oh-nine, i cracked open my eyes and stared, puzzled, at the clock for several minutes. i was very much expecting to have slept until eleven.

being able to control my sleeping patterns like that is certainly not a skill i've ever possessed before. s'pose it'd be pretty useful though, so we'll see if it keeps up.
