The savage and unpredictable nature of Dick's nighttime excursions often result in equally savage and unpredictable morning* situations. Fortunately, Dick's instinctive resourcefulness and vast personal experience allow him to negotiate even the harshest of wake-up environments.

1. Waking the undead The natural realignment of Dick's blood/alcohol level usually serves as an internal alarm clock - when standing again becomes a valid option, then and only then does Dick greet the day. However, in the event of an emergency, Dick can be revived through the implementation of extreme measures (see picture).

2. Assessing the situation Still dazed from drink, Dick quickly scouts his immediate surroundings for immediate hazards: oncoming vehicles, rising water levels, or angry mothers of fake ID-possessing bedmates.

3. Determining location Dick looks for familiar landmarks, faces, or substances capable of bringing him up to speed on his current whereabouts.

4. Accepting blame Dick ballparks the cost of damage personally administered to his host's property. In extreme cases, an apology is issued, but it is often unnecessary as most recognize Dick's destructive behavior merely as a show of affection.

5. Picking up the pieces Dick collects any extra overnight supplies from the refrigerator, wipes his fingerprints from any incriminating paraphernalia and exits the area, posthaste.

* The term "morning" is used to indicate the completion of Dick's sleep cycle. It is not necessarily indicative of the actual time of day.
