The unusual passage of time during the hours of sleep

A loud car passing woke me and I bounded out of bed, refreshed after a long night's sleep. And then I saw the clock and realised it was one-thirty in the morning and I'd only been asleep for ninety minutes.

So I went back to bed. It took ages to get back to sleep and when I woke up again this morning after five hours' sleep I was tired. Ninety minutes long, five hours short. Time passes strangely in the night.

Today's Texts to the Editor in the local paper featured this completely random cracker:

To the blatant thief who STOLE my time & money @ the fairy st laundrette sun arvo, what goes around comes around! What u did was WRONG! It's the same with everything in life, U WAIT UR TURN! Regardless of whether u think my washing is dry or not, that dryer belongs 2 me until my money runs out. 2 the lady who sat by & watch it happen, ur just as bad. 2 the absolute stranger who folded my washing, nice gesture, but my cleans clothes now need rewashing! I only hope the weather is nice this week so i can hang it out at home! - MH

No-one cares, MH, so let me tell you to get over it. Although not to your face, in case you bite me.
