Not 7 Yet

     Today was a very odd and exhausting morning. Every day, five days a week I wake up at 6:45 a.m and start to get ready to go to school. This particular morning, I thought I had heard my alarm go off so I woke up and got in the shower, as I am about to change I check my clock to see if it's late or still early to know if I am running late or if i can still take my time and calmly dress. Turns out I can relax, a lot, essentially fall asleep, why? It's 1:02 a.m, therefore I still have 6 hours to sleep. Although this may seem like a bad thing, the feeling of waking up and still noticing you have plenty more time to sleep is incredibly pleasing and I feel much more rested when I wake up. Surprisingly this is not the first time this has occurred to me. Once I woke up at 5 a.m because of fear of not waking up on time because my alarm didn't work. Due to the fact that this has happened to me many times, I decided to do some research on it and turns out that this can be a sign of anxiety or simply sleeping too early. Even though I know I woke up because of fear of being late, or the climate being too warm, I still feel it's a good idea to discard every possibility in order to make sure there is nothing out of the ordinary occurring.

Comment if this has ever happened to you? How did it feel?
