saved by the bell (or not)



The past two nights the power has gone out in the middle of the night. I would generally relish the extra bit of sleep that I could blame on someone else, however luckily (?) both nights either Christen or I have woken up and noticed the issue before we were late. Christen woke up at 5am on Monday, reset the alarm and came back to bed. Last night, I woke up at 2:30am, noticed the blinking light and reset the clock. Now, why we don't have a battery backup in our alarm clock in this day and age I don't know. However, I can say it's a 5-year-old, $8 clock. I can't expect miracles. I would like to be able to expect more sleep though.

I wrote that on Tuesday, and Tuesday night I set my phone alarm just in case. Wouldn't you know, the power didn't go out! I don't know what I'm going to do about sleep when the clocks change.
