Biological clock
Chris refers to his diurnal rhythm (the pattern of sleep as determined by daylight) as his biological clock. Although this is technically not an incorrect use of the term, "biological clock" is more commonly used to describe the period of fertility in women, so Chris just sounds (even more) stupid when he yammers on about fixing his biological clock. He believes it's his future girlfriend's job to get him adjusted back from staying up all night and sleeping all day. Chris claims Ivy has already accomplished this, which is one of the reasons he's so thoroughly convinced she has been sent to him by God and Jesus.
He first explained his sleep habits in an edit on his Encyclopedia Dramatica article:
| “ | ==THE SODA JERK== YES, I drink A LOT of Soda from Coca-Cola to Pepsi to Powerade. I have a lot of stored caffeene in my energy supply, and not only kept me on my toes, but has also messed up my fucking biological clock as well. I sleep from fucking six AM to twelve- fucking-thirty. BIG REASON I need a Sweetheart, so she can help me back on track towards getting back to the morning hours that I used to have during my High School years. Fucking Adult Swim(tm) and random projects keep me up all night as well. |

He is oblivious to the fact that the real reason he used to sleep during the night in high school is that he used to actually have some reason to get up in the morning. Since leaving PVCC Chris has had no job, no friends, and no life outside of mass debating and his Love Quest, allowing him ample free time to stay up all night drinking caffeine.
Chris's nocturnal habits during much of the 2000s appears to be the primary reason that "Attraction Time" during his Love Quest occurred in the mid-to-late afternoon.
