D. made several sleep-related discoveries today.

• If you sleep until after 9 a.m. on Monday, then setting your alarm for 5 a.m. on Tuesday can lead to shutting it off without waking up, and eventually experiencing a great rush of adrenaline when you do wake up with only 6 minutes to dress, grab your bag lunch from the fridge, and run the block and a half to the bus stop.
  
• If, on the other hand, you sleep until you wake up naturally, then hours later you still have plenty of energy and a pretty good mood.

His new plan: No more getting up at 5 or 5:30 a.m. If school starts at 8 a.m., then waking at 7 a.m. is quite good enough.
