Does this happen to any of you as disturbingly often as it does to MiddleFingerMom?

1. If by "wake up by accident"

You mean because of a cat biting you at the base of the skull?

That would be a "Yes."

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

2. That's better than a cat attacking you in some other place

I'll let you think of the potential locations.

Is it your cat? I forgot to ask. It would be really weird if it was some cat you had never seen before...

[alphafemale]

4. lmao. Yeah. That's the weird thing. I don't even own a cat.

No kidding. It's my cat.

She also sometimes pulls my hair.

[Skittles]

3. YES!!!

it's almost like I feel ENTITLED to that extra sleep whether I NEED IT or not :mad:

5. All the freaking time. I'll even wake up by accident and feel rested and TELL MYSELF I should get

out of bed and do something, because I'll feel crappy when it's time to get up. But I never listen.

6. 7 days a week at 3 AM

No shit, it's like I set the alarm.

I usually get out of bed, feed the cat, take my shower around 5:30. Between 3 and 5:30 I "rest," but I don't even try to go back to sleep because I've learned my lesson on that one.

[Duer 157099]

7. Yes. And I wonder what the physiological explanation is

because clearly it's pretty common.

Built in penalty for being greedy for extra sleep? :shrug:
