Struggles of the Naturally Nocturnal
Brain: It is three am. THREE. AY. EM. We need to SLEEP, dammit.
Body: But we can't sleep! We need to stand watch and guard the herds against saber-toothed tigers!
Brain: For the hundred millionth time, we have no herds. Not one single herd. Nary a herd. We have never had a herd, we never WILL have a herd.
Body: ...We COULD...
Brain: NOT in the middle of Tokyo. Where there are also, I might add, NO SABRE-TOOTHED TIGERS.
Body: YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!
Brain: I do! Actually! That's my job! I'm the brain! I know things! Like how I know that you're some bizarre buried evolutionary impulse that is thousands of years behind the times and has only ever served to stop us from keeping a sensible sleep schedule! Now GO TO SLEEP!
Body: Don't wanna. I'm hungry.
Brain: You're... Well TOO BLOODY BAD. You're not going to find anything to eat at three am.
Tokyo: Actually, there's a 24-hour discount bento place right around the corner. You could get take out.
Brain: That's...
Tokyo: Or the 24-hour convenience store across the street has deli stuff. And the 24-hour hyakuen shop has instant curry and noodles and stuff...
Brain: It's not...
Body: Ooo, curry...
Tokyo: Or there's a 24-hour soba restaurant just down the road. Or you could go to the 24-hour supermarket and get groceries...
Brain: SHUT UP TOKYO YOU ARE NOT HELPING.
Body: Maybe while we're out getting food we can find a herd to guard!
Brain: AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.
