Hearing birds chirping. Makes me depressed that I had to pull another all-nighter to get my university class assignment finished on time :'(

Around 3:00 - 3:30 a.m. the Robins in my area start chirping. They wake up the earliest of all the birds. The rest only start chirping at around 4:30 a.m.

Picture this: your laying in a warm, cozy bed. It's raining outside, and you have calming music playing. As you close your eye to sleep, your cat cuddles up with you and begins to purr. It feels good at all times but at 3 am, it's just different.
