Accidental 3am club

Jake’s phone decided to sound the alarm at 3:17am instead of 6:30am. Something about the time change function getting confused, but honestly I was too tired to follow his technical explanation.

By the time we figured out how to turn it off, I was completely awake. You know that frustrating feeling where your brain just switches on and refuses to go back to sleep? Jake mumbled an apology and was snoring again within minutes. Meanwhile, I’m staring at the ceiling doing mental math about how many hours of sleep I’m losing.

So here I am in the kitchen with chamomile tea, trying to make this accidental wake-up call into something productive. Maybe I’ll review my anatomy notes. Or maybe I’ll just sit here and appreciate the weird quiet that only exists at 3am.

The city sounds different at this hour - less traffic, more mystery.

Update: It’s now 4:15am and I think I’m finally getting sleepy again. Jake owes me coffee in the morning.
