I have to get up at 4 AM to go to work. On days that I do not work I sleep in – until 6 AM! :)

As you age chances are that you will sleep less. I have no problem falling asleep but wake up after about 4 ½ hours, and I stay in bed until it is time to arise. Many years ago my mother suggested that if you wake up during the night, try to rest by clearing your mind, be sure that your legs are straight or almost straight. By that I mean do not curl up into a fetal position.








>Woke up and can't fall asleep. Before 3am I will try to fall asleep, after that I just give up and have a very early breakfast and read. It's just a trick but if I fight these occassional fits of insomonia, I feel exhausted, but if I go with the flow it's not so bad.

>3am is morning before before is the middle of the night.
