On an average day, I sleep from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. I write well during late hours and generally am having too much fun with my day to go to bed early. Because of this, I have little familiarity with 5:30 a.m. Let's just say I have more experience with sunsets than sunrises.
News flash: It gets light around 5 a.m.
Normally this is a truth pleasantly obscured by the walls, roof, and window shades. When sleeping out in the library park, however, there are no barriers between me and the rising light.
When uncomfortable, I can sleep.
When cold and uncomfortable, I try to sleep. At least I can fantasize about it.
When cold, uncomfortable, and having unwelcome sunshine on my face, the fleeting hope for sleep evaporates.
Fuck it. Time to get up.
