This is my gift. It is my curse.

Here’s an odd combination of things that made me wake up just after 5AM today.

Fact: my apartment has large windows in every room. This allows for plenty of natural light to enter during the day and was one of the main reasons I chose to live here.
Fact: while I listen to music a lot it’s not usually very loud. This means that for someone my age, I have almost perfect hearing. Those high frequency tones that they say only teenagers can hear are only quieter for me, not completely absent.
Fact: the head my bed has always been adjacent to the large window in my bedroom.

Result? One of my neighbor’s alarm clocks just woke me up.

Have a great week people!

    I used to have the same problem. Earplugs and a fan for white noise worked out pretty well.
