Getting up when the alarm goes off is the one thing I am good at doing, *on time*.
Dear God, I'm so awful at that I cannot even describe. I've turned sleeping right through the alarm for half an hour or more without waking into an art form and hitting the snooze button just to pick up on my last dream right where I left off into a skill. Only fear of losing things will get me out of bed at any hour my body considers ridiculous, and sometimes even "losing things" is not compelling enough of a reason. I can get ready in two minutes flat and be only five minutes late anywhere given enough practice at it. I had one job I never got up for any more than 20 minutes before I had to be there.
The world just does not understand how cruel sunlight on a night owl before 11am actually feels.
