Based on experience: play video games for too long instead of eating, watch movies they don’t normally enjoy, and forget to go to sleep at a reasonable time.

Fucked up sleep pattern for the win.

A dog or a cat may help with the last one. They will let you stay up too late, but they won't let you sleep in.

My dog is a 13 years old couch potato. He gets angry when I try to get him outside while its still dark :D

Oh dear lord. My 5 year old shiba has been deciding by that 4am is suddenly an appropriate time to ask to go to the bathroom when I even limit water after a certain point at night. This just started recently. She used to go until 5:30 or so and still sometimes does. It seems random, so I don’t think it’s a UTI or anything.

My girls are both 8, but they don't have a specific time. They just go by the sun coming up, lol.
