    There’s definitely something to this. I was recently setting an alarm for 2am because at some point during the night, I’m going to need to pee anyway and I’d prefer to get up for that with four hours left to sleep instead of two - waking up at 4am and having to get up to pee means I won’t be able to get back to sleep but waking up at 2am before I really have to go means I don’t have that alarm anxiety and will not have a problem making it the rest of the night.

    I usually have a very hard time getting back to sleep if I wake up in the middle of the night, so this would be ell for me.

    Hang on a second there…

    I wake in the night 2 or 3 times.

    Sometimes it’s 45 minutes before my alarm or some other depressing time.

    Sometimes it’s 5 hours before my alarm. The feeling when I look over and still have 5 more hours is really nice.

    Wait just one damned minute here…lemme think about this.

      Is biphasic when you like both sleeping and napping? I was a little biphasic-curious back in college.
