What an awful thing to say!
Leeches are cuter than ticks.
And they do change behaviors between midnight and 6AM, to wit:
(1) They learn how to latch on in the dark, quickly, and while lying side to side with mom, and
(2) They become more vocal, even when they don't need anything. Grunt grunt groan coo gurgle kick kick kick grunt grunt grunt arm jerk kick kick grunt groan coo gurgle grunt grunt breathe breathe breathe breathe whimper ... whimper whimper (is it going to become a cry?) whimper grunt grunt groan coo breathe ...
Further, mom learns to sleep (however lightly) through 2 until it becomes an actual "feed me" call.
