I may be to "radiated" and have mentioned this before but how many of you when you have a tourney planned the next day or just get to go with friends wake up every two hours or maybe three so that you don't over sleep.  Thought I would grow out of this but ... almost seventy...under several meds and such and last night I did this and finally woke up at last ten minutes before alarm...stayed up!  While under this chemo/radiation I usually sleep eight and then take a nap when get home....NOT TODAY.....

Kind of funny

Still happens to me. I guess it’s called   ANTIPICATION.

I know "anti" means to be against or opposed to something.  But a google search of PICATION yielded  .…………………………………….  nothing.

 

Sorry.  The devil made me do it.

 

Edit.  clarification.  I did a google search of cipation and came up with this.

 

Urban Dictionary: cipation

Not giving a s##t, as in, the opposite of anticipation.

Truth be told, I have not heard an alarm I have set since boot camp, and yes, anticipation keeps me up

Oh yeah. I never sleep past 6:30-45 anyways. But on days I'm going fishing it feels like I'm looking at the clock every hour through the night.

Me too ~ 

And speaking of boot camp - last time I was there, 

I WAS the Alarm 

Good Times.

This plagues me for fishing as well as other things.

Well I don't really fish many tournaments but I have the hardest time getting up in the morning, and once I do it takes two large coffees or about 4-6 hours, whichever comes first to really get me going.

Care to elaborate on the "other things"?

Pretty much the next day coming. I guess I’m just excited for life.

Love life too...

I went with a friend Saturday morning I hadn’t fished with in a few years. Kept waking up every 1-2 hours , looking at the clock, and trying to figure out what time it really was ( Alarm clock is stuck on 40 minutes faster than it really is )  ? Also tried to subtract 30 minutes from when I was actually leaving so I’d have time to get ready. Bottom line: woke up right on time . Haven’t used the actual alarm in many years now.
