I have to get up at 4am tomorrow to get on the train for this symposium in Copenhagen. I so do not want to get up that early...

It looks like a very interesting meeting, judging from the program, and I do not want to miss it. I even had to cancel a talk I was going to give at CLC Bio myself to get there, but when I saw how early I had to get up to get there, I considered staying away...

I hate getting up early. I've gotten used to getting up around 6 am -- otherwise I simply cannot manage to do all the things I plan for the day -- but since I never manage to get to bed before midnight, four in the morning is a bit scary.

I wonder if my alarm clock will even allow me to set such an early time for the wake up time?
