I'm the only person on this continent who's awake at 4:45am CST.

It's what happens when you have a sleep cycle disorder.

And I just KNOW I'm the only one up. Think about it: It's Saturday night before the Super Bowl. There was lots of people out pre-SB partying and drinking (but not too late, gotta be awake by the afternoon), everyone not partying tonight is already asleep, probably everyone on my campus is asleep as well. People will sleep in this morning, too. All the other message boards I frequent are currently dead. At least in my time zone, I've got probably another 4 or 5 hours until people start waking up.

Then I'll be able go to sleep.;)

And if I don't get any replies until 8am Central Time, my theory will prove correct.

I'M THE ONLY AWAKE PERSON ON THE CONTINENT!!!!! I CLAIM THIS MESSAGE BOARD IN THE NAME OF NORTHWEST!!!!!

3. You lazybones should be ashamed of yourselves...
3am PST. Ah, what a beautiful morning. At least I think it is. I'll be able to tell more accurately when the sun comes up in four hrs.

5. OK, You win.
I guess I'll have to settle with being part of an elite core of insomniacs.

6. I Haven't Slept Well In The Past Year
And reguarding your theory, PM JCMach1 in Saudi Arabia to find out who will win the Superbowl and by how much.

He's about 12 hours ahead of us.

7. I'm awake.
I have to take my husband to work soon. I'm usually up anyway because I have insomnia. I sleep in small naps throughout the day.

8. Zero sleep last night, working on the same tonight
Super Bowl week guarantees my ex-college roommate shows up in Las Vegas and we pretend to be 20 years younger. I'm supposed to meet him in less than 4 1/2 hours, breakfast buffet then every casino bar we somehow bypassed on blurry Saturday. It will only pain on Monday morning if we blow most of these Super Bowl props.

10. Sorry, I slept in until 5:30.
CST. Yep, debating myself whether it's too early to start the coffee. If I start on it now, I'll peak on my caffeine before I really need it (when the men get up). What to do, what to do? Well, I can't make the decision without some caffeine, so coffee is the decision. Keep talking, I'll bring you a cup. Cream or sugar.

12. Good Morning!
Or is it still good evening if you haven't gone to bed at all, like me? Either way, I challenge your claim in the name of all the frozen Democrats of Chicago!

13. You're mad about 4:45am? I've been awake for an hour. Got a load of
laundry going, making a list of to-do's for the day -- and it's a VERY busy day!

I consider this prime time to get a jump on the day ahead! I should have been a farmer or a stock broker.

Oh wait....

Disorder??? They call this a disorder? How strange. I just consider myself on NYC time is all. In California, as I am.
