Meeting Minutes: Bedtime Snack Extension Review

Time Called: 22:47 Expected Duration: Short Actual Duration: Ongoing at time of publication


Agenda

  1. Brief snack before sleep
  2. Closure and lights out

Item 1: Brief Snack Before Sleep

The snack was initiated at 22:47. Subject selected crackers and a small amount of something spreadable. This is documented behavior, recurring on approximately four evenings per week. The snack was to be small. The snack was small.

A small snack before bed creates a second kitchen trip for water, cleanup, or one more bite.

At 22:52, the subject returned to the kitchen. The stated purpose was water. The actual event included water, a review of the remaining contents of the spreadable item, and a second cracker assessed as necessary to avoid leaving an odd number.

22:58 , Subject noted the plate required rinsing. Plate rinsed. Plate dried and replaced. Subject stood in the kitchen for a moment before confirming there was no remaining reason to be there.


Item 2: Closure and Lights Out

23:01 , Subject returned to bed. Confirmed water was sufficient. Confirmed plate was clean.

23:04 , Subject recalled that the spreadable item had not been resealed. Returned to kitchen. Item was already sealed. Subject resealed it.

Bedtime becomes a closing procedure whose administration keeps everyone awake.

23:08 , Phone checked. Not for any purpose the subject could later identify. Phone placed face-down. Face-down phone noted to be the position for sleeping now. Fine.


Action Items

None recorded. The bedtime snack extension stops being a habit and starts acting like a rule at some point between the second kitchen trip and the re-sealing of a container that was already sealed.

The meeting is adjourned. The meeting is still happening.
