premise: They 're not the distant voices of a wayward imagination or the fading voices of a sober dream . They 're the loud and clear voices of two of my children ... at 5 a.m . Last night I finally got into bed around midnight and had the hardest time going to sleep . It was probably after 1 a.m. when I finally drifted off , but I was determined to get up around 7 a.m. to try and get the children up and used to being on a school schedule . However , when I was awakened at 5 a.m. my plans were a little thwarted . I got out of my bed and I amazed to find them not only sitting up and wide awake , but with the bright overhead light on . What may have caused you to awake at 5 AM ?
hypothesis: My kids helped me wake up .
