Sunsets

I love sunsets. It is my favorite part of the day, no matter what part of the world I'm in. Around here the sun sets about 10pm. It's so strange and it throws off my entire day. I never realized how much my body's shedule depends on the sun.

Now it's 9pm before I realize that I should eat something for dinner. I can't go to sleep until at least midnight if only for the fact that I don't even know what time it is until I notice that the sun has set and by then it's already really late.

But what is really the strangest thing about all of this time changing stuff is that I still find myself waking up every morning at exatly 5:08 am. The mosque by my house in the Sandbox made the call to prayer at 5:08 each morning and, even though I'm apparently never consciously aware of what time it is, somehow 5:08 holds some importance. Don't get the wrong idea, I don't get out of bed at 5am, I just roll back over. But still, I definitely wake up for a minute.
