I Owe It All to Dear Great- Great Grandpa Count Dracula

It is now exactly 2:48 AM. I couldn't sleep so I started multitasking in order to make myself sleepy. Obviously that tactic did not work very well for me, because here I am only now bleary eyed enough to try to fall asleep.

Actually, I know why I am something of a night owl. I always have been. I figured out the source of my problem when I traced back through my genealogy and I see where I got this somewhat annoying habit from. Right there, about150 or 200 years back, Count Dracula appeared in my lineage. If you would have asked me a week ago if I thought I was descended from the actual Transylvanian Count Dracula, I would have called you crazy. But I guess I am. I mean my family chart wouldn't lie, would it? Somewhere along the line, a friendly vampire passed on to me the gene for being a night owl and that is my working theory on the subject of why I am still awake.

My wife has an alternate theory. She thinks that I have just pushed my sleep cycle completely out of synch, because my daily schedule has been completely skewed. And there may be a bit of truth in what she says as well.

Even though I suspect my wife is 100% right and I am not, I am still going to stick to my own take on the situation, at least for a little bit. My theory makes me a much more interesting person, don't you think?
