The Hour Sleep Breaks Can Matter More Than It First Seem
A broken night is easier to remember than the hour it broke.
That missing hour can change the meaning of the night. A break soon after falling asleep is not the same as one near morning. A short wake-up in the early morning does not always leave the same kind of morning as a later interruption. Without the hour, different nights begin to look like the same problem.
Write the time first. Then keep what came before it, what followed, and how the morning felt. The hour is not useful by itself. It becomes useful because it gives the rest of the night a place.
This connects to why the middle of the night gets difficult to read by morning, what to track when sleep breaks during the night, and how to keep the night beside the morning that follows.
The written hour gives the night shape. It keeps the interruption from becoming only a mood remembered after the fact.
