Every time I've looked back on a period when I've woken up every hour on the hour, I find that I was under untenable stress levels. Just a thought.

Fail - to create an account you have to enter a postal code and they limit the length to 5. Just as the limit of a zip code. Canadian postal codes are invalid. :/
