Awake!

Why is it that when you sleep through your alarm you always wake up at 8:59, just in time to see the clock tick over to 9:00? Why cant you wake up at 8:45, when there's time to do something about it, or at 9:15, when you're properly late?

Of course yesterday I did start at 5am for the drive back, then a long day at work, and caught up with a mate from Christchurch until quite late last night :-)
