The best part of waking up at 3am, when you have to be up at 5.30am is knowing that you get to sleep for another two and a half hours.

Also, I think "Waking Up Exactly Five Minutes Before My Alarm" might be some kind of super power I have.

Time for breakfast.

When I was a kid and had to catch the bus at 6:00 AM, I set my first alarm for 3:30 AM just so I could enjoy going back to sleep until my second alarm at 5:30 AM.

Heheh. Nice.

So there was this one time the power went out. And I set the clock, and went back to sleep. And the alarm went off, and I got up, and showered, and ate breakfast, and when I went outside it was still dark. This was what cued me, since it was usually starting to lighten up a little bit by then. Upon going back inside, I read that it was about 1. I didn't think to reset the alarm time, and had waffles just past midnight.

Yeah, I would have been waiting for the school bus for a while.

No. No that's not good.

I think it's just our bodies being trained to be awake at that time and taking over for our minds. When I was in high school I would wake up just a few seconds before the alarm was meant to go off. I would actually come straight from sleep into raising up and reaching for the clock.

I think that part was some weird sort of muscle memory reflex.

The problem is, it happens no matter for what time I set my alarm. Which means my body is counting, very accurately, all night. Which can't be restful.

Well, in that case, I would say it is not so much a latent super power as you have been cursed by a rival.
