Reader here! When it comes to getting up in the morning, are you pretty consistent and able to get up around the same time, with or without the aid of an alarm clock?
The reason I ask, is because this morning, shortly before the time my alarm clock would’ve gone off, the power went off on my street.
I only know this, because I tossed and turned all night, and wasn’t able to sleep a wink. At one point, I turned over to look at the alarm clock to see what time it was, and it was black. So then, I turned to see if the standby light on my bedroom TV was on. Nothing. At that point, I knew the power was out.
Fortunately, the alarms on my phone were still set, so they went off as normal.
The funny thing is, despite the fact that I’m not really a morning person, per se, After being on the morning show for 15 years, I’ve adjusted pretty well to getting up super early.
Why is that?
Here’s a video that discusses why we’re able to rise and shine early in the morning.
The funny thing is, when I stepped outside, my street was dark, due to the power outage. However, when I jumped in the car to go to work, the streetlights in front of Yorkdale School were shining bright, and every other light along the way, along the roads and in homes along the way were lit up. And the power was on at the office when I arrived.
The outage was literally in my own little tiny corner of the city, though when I checked SaskPower’s X account, Otthon, Willowbrook and the surrounding areas were also affected. Luckily, SaskPower said the power was back on within about an hour and a half.
So, even though there power was out at home, I was still able to get up on schedule, get ready for work by the light of my cellphone, and be where I needed to be on time.
How well does your internal clock work?
