The Daily Earwig: Hard Day's Night [View All]

[CorpGovActivist]

Ever since I was very little, I wake up most mornings with a song stuck in my head.

I call it The Daily Earwig, and have heard others describe a similar daily experience in similar terms.

More often than not, I can figure out why that's the subconscious selection for the day. In fact, it's not uncommon for it to be part of the "wake-up" dream, playing the "bridge" into the waking world. The playground that is my dreamland is: well, I don't skimp on sleep.

Anyhoo.

This morning, The Daily Earwig was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNf046Uo2gI">Hard Day's Night.

The Muses took it easy on me today; that one's a no-brainer, unlike some of the curveballs they sometimes throw me.

Ever since I was little, I have interrupted my regular sleep cycle only for very important events. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6A8K24VGyw">The Wedding was the first time ever, and in my first year's journal entries. My parents laughed when I said I wanted to borrow their alarm clock to get up in time to watch, but they humored the notion that I wouldn't snooze in.

I had breakfast waiting for them when they rolled out of bed, and gave them a quick synopsis of the action to that point.

Ye ol' Gov Geek Nap Strategy still works, and I'm now back, more or less, to a normal sleep cycle. It was, indeed, a hard day's night.

Does anyone else get these earwigs with more than passing frequency?
