Lights Out!
Preparation for Day One, I'm in bed by 11pm. Set an alarm for 6am - YES if my theory holds water then we should be able to awaken naturally with the sun and the alarm clock would be obsolete. But my body has been corrupted by years of societal poison, so to begin with I'll need a kick start. I'm leaving the curtains open so that the sun gets a better chance.

I'd forgotten, though, that means there's electric light coming into my bedroom from outside. I'm lucky that I live at the back of the house, not overlooking any roads. I can only see three individual lights, and they're some distance away. But on the horizon is the low city hum of orange light, and this low-level output turns my bedroom faintly blue.


Day One.
What the fuck's this??? My alarm has just gone off (I think I was awake anyway, but hadn't realised it yet. I was fantasising that the house was full of gold Lindt bunnies). The BBC weather site told me sunrise was at six, but we are already well beyond dawn. The sun may not flood the room for another couple of hours, but there's more than enough light to comfortably read a book or do my makeup by. I should have been up and breakfasted before it got this light. I'm so outraged that I stay in bed until ten.

Getting up late * makes for a write-off of a day. If before I've even started I'm already with this sense of fail, it's going to be hard to make up my productivity levels. I've got a lot of writing to do today, and if I haven't done it by nightfall (which I blatantly won't), then I'll have to succumb to the electric light. This is my biggest worry about the Lights Out experiment - when will I get any writing done? I can see that Lights Out will necessitate some sick days.


* The concept of 'late', of course, only happens when we have a predetermined notion of what time we should be up. The reason so many of us struggle to get up when we should is because it's a totally arbitrary time. Like, 8am? What's the logic in that, except that work starts at 9am? Fuck work. If we allowed the sun to guide us, it wouldn't be arbitrary, and therefore we'd find it easier. FACT. **

I like the sound of the chocolate bunnies dream.

I couldn't stick to what you're doing. I mean, it's much easier for me to sleep when it's dark at night and get up when it's light in the morning, but... ugh. At the moment just getting any sleep is an issue. Good luck with it smile
