Waking Up In the Dark (10)

On Sunday morning, my alarm went off and I woke up to see no sunlight outside at 7 am.  This made it extremely difficult for me to actually get out of bed!  Up until then, I hadn't woken up to no sunlight, even if it was just a little bit, and it really threw me off!  I ended up staying in bed twenty minutes later than I intended because I just couldn't get going.  It probably didn't help that I had a late night the night before, but I really do think waking up to no sunlight caused a huge problem for me!  It made me realize that I'm definitely not ready for the soon approaching time change.  
On the other hand, waking up today was a lot easier!  Granted, I didn't have to be up until about 9 am, but I actually woke up two minutes before my alarm went off, and I felt very refreshed!  Having woken up on my own, I was not interrupted in the middle of my sleep cycle, which made it a lot easier for me to get up.  I didn't roll over and go back to sleep, so instead I turned my alarm off and got out of bed and felt ready for the day.  I had plenty of time to get ready without rushing, and then I went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast before my first class.  Needless to say, my body waking up naturally has been the best thing that's happened to me in regards to my attempts to get up in the mornings!  Maybe I should invest in an alarm clock that goes off according to which part of my sleep cycle is happening...
