What's going on?

What usually happens on a morning:

The sun wakes up.
The son wakes up.
I wake up.
Son and I wake Ooman up.
Ooman's alarm clock wakes up.

Whole process takes about an hour.

What's happened on recent mornings:

The sun thinks about waking up.
Ooman's alarm clock wakes up.
Ooman wakes up.
Ooman wakes us up.

I'm not complaining, as Ooman wakes us up by bringing us breakfast.  And the sunny garden seems to have returned.  I'd be interested to hear an explanation for this sudden change in behaviour.  Is Ooman ill?
