4. A Strange Time Table

A Strange Time Table.

One of the things that survived my trip here was my watch, which turned out to be very useful. The calendar they use is pretty similar to ours. They use the sun, solstices, and equinoxes to mark seasons and years. Solstices are much more subtle here, adding or taking under an hour of daylight.

There are a couple of catches.

"You stayed up all night?" Mesa commented. "Does that mean you're sleeping all day on me?" Mesa wasn't the only one puzzle by my weird sleep schedule.

A day and a night only lasts about sixteen hours in the Wind Waker universe, as compared to my internal 24-hour clock.

So here's how it works: I stay up a day and a night Day 1. Day 2 I sleep all day, and stay up all night and all day of Day 3. Day 3 I actually go to bed at night like everyone else, only to start the cycle all over again.

If I lost you, don't worry. I think the only one who has figured out my sleep schedule is Grandma. I heard from Aryll once that kids will make bets on when I'll wake up next.
