Sleeping in?

For the past week both girls have gotten up at exactly the same time each day.  At 6:22am Evelyn starts moving around a little bit in her bassinet and when I look at her she is wide eyed and smiling at me.  About 2 minutes later I hear Lily start talking in her room.  I am not sure what it is that is waking them both up.  Evelyn isn't making enough sound for Lily to hear her on the other side of the house.  Lily isn't waking up first that Evie would hear her through the monitor.  Since it is happening everyday, including weekends, I don't think it is a bus or some other loud sound outside.  Somehow my girls have synced their internal clocks.

Well this morning I woke up at looked at my phone (we don't have a clock in our room) and saw that it was 7:18am.  They slept in!  I was wide awake, but wanted to enjoy the fact that I got an extra hour of sleep and see how much longer they would sleep, so I just laid in bed quietly.  Pretty soon Evie started stirring.  I looked at the clock. 7:22am.  Pretty soon after I hear Lily start making sounds.  I got out of bed and started our morning routine but still remembering and enjoying that I got an extra hour of sleep.

Then I remembered that last night was Day Light Savings and all clocks set ahead an hour.  They really got up at essentially 6:22am.  I suddenly didn't feel as rested as I did before.  And I am still curious as to what is waking both girls up at that time.
