    During the night time flip-flopped. As many of us do, I woke in the
    middle of the night to take care of bathroom business. When I looked at
    the clock, next to my bed, it read 3:21. I flopped back in bed and fell
    asleep immediately. What seemed like many hours later I again woke for
    the same reason. As this is most unusual for me, I looked at the clock
    to see how long I had been sleeping since the last time. The clock read
    
    			1:16
    
    I went right back to sleep then woke to my alarm at 5:15.
    I am still feeling a little strange about what happened.

    Tom,
    
    You weren't by any chance on a plane flying across time zones were you?

Tom,

Are you sure it wasn't 4:16 the second time you woke up?

    I checked it twice. I figured that it must be Digitalitis!

	you'll have to teach me that trick sometime! I could use more sleep...

Steve and I have recently had some peculiar night clock readouts also.
One night I kept waking up and the first time the clock read 1:11.  The next
time I woke up it was 2:22, then 3:33.  It was kinda spooky.

Steve had this happen last week, the first time he woke up it was 1:10, then
something like 2:11 and 3:12, one hour and one minute between each interval.

Maybe the aliens are playing tricks on us.

    I must be getting old. I remember, as a teenager, when I could sleep 12
    hours without getting up one time. Now if I only wake up once in a six
    hour period it is a great accomplishment. I wonder, do people in their
    60's and beyond sleep only 30 minutes between middle of the night
    pitstops?

    Hey Tom !!
    
    	Mebbe the LED on yer clock is misbehaving... It can't show a
    '0'...many led's have been known to do so... I think the first time you
    woke up it was 0:31.... *8))))
    
    FWIW

In highschool I had a time when I was woken up at 12 minutes past the hour
regularly. It turned out that the flip numbers on my radio made a noise at that
point and if I was sleeping lightly, I'd hear it and wake up. Turned out to be a
burr on one of the gears that caused a squeak.

In cases where it's a regular interval, it's probably some periodic function of
the house like the fridge cycling off and rattling something on top. the loss of
cool in a fridge overnight without being opened is pretty constant/regular. I
know mine rattles slightly when the compressor turns off and then it's EXTRA
quiet in the house. We have a dog and cats so I've stopped listening to house
noises. As the joke goes, if someone comes to the door, the doorbell will bark
8^)

    
    The funniest thing happened to me today as well. I set my alarm for 
    five.....which is weird in itself, as there were only two of us.
    I got up & stroked the pussy (She's a tabby with ginger stripes named
    Jilly) and then went into the toilet (head first straight into it, as
    I tripped over my willie (That's my dog, a 4 year old Cairn Terrier).
    
    I then went downstairs & answered the door (Well, it asked me a sports
    question). I opened the door & a young lady asked me for diredtions. I
    immediately ran back upstairs & put mu underpants on. When I came back
    down she had gone. She had left a note which said, "For God
    sake....don't go into the FRIENDS conference today. You see, they think
    you were serious with your LFT last week & now they've gone all humpity
    with you".
    I said, "I don't care....I'm BACK !!"
