I remember when I was a young kid, when I didn’t have school the next day, I would stay up nights past 9:30 to midnight if I could, because back then — in the late '90s — one of the local stations played old episodes of The Simpsons at that time. After I watched The Simpsons, though, I’d quickly retire to bed, 'cause at that point, I’d be dead tired. As such, the time between 12:30 & 5:00 AM was largely a mystery to me; I often romanticized these 4.5 hours into a quasi-magical period where anything and everything could happen and did.

Fast forward to the last seventeen years. That mystical quality has vanished. The time between 12:30 & 5:00 AM’s just a chronal doldrums where only insomnia thrives.
