Total random musing today, which was inspired by a power outtage at work right in the middle of class.

Have you ever noticed that when you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, you make your way there with your eyes closed or even half open, you don’t turn on a light and seem to function just fine. Ok, sometimes you stub your toe, it happens, but you get over it.You find the room, the toilet, do your thing, wash your hands and head back to bed, no problem.

But…when the lights go out, especially when you’re at work, it feels weird to go to the bathroom. There are emergency lights in the hallway or maybe outside light coming in from the windows and you can get around the office, but when it comes to going to the bathroom, you’re a little wigged out and worried about not having a light for the bathroom. Maybe you find a flashlight or use the light from your phone, you’re still not as comfortable as you are in the middle of the night at home.

Why is that?
