Getting Around

I had a bout of insomnia last night, so I was here around 3 this morning my time--which is also myLot time.
I went back to bed at 4 a.m. and stayed in bed until around 7. It is strange, as I was so tired I was in bed by 9 last night, and slept soundly until 1:45, then could not go back to sleep.
It is Saturday, and I am pushing hubby to get around. I need some more soil to finish in my gardens and a few other things.
The sun is shining now. The forecast is for rain. There was thunder and lightening after I went to bed last night. It does not look like rain today, but who can ever tell.
So happy day to you, whatever time it is, whichever day it is. I will be back later.

We had the same internal alarm clock going that night. Same times and all.

I hate those nights when I fall asleep and wake up then can't fall back asleep. Maybe you can catch a nap later on.
Enjoy your day!

It very seldom happens to me. Best place for me to nap is in the car.

I sleep in a cycle. I will be up until 4 ror 5a. for quite a while. then I will be up for 4 or 5 hours and then sleep for 4 or 5, then I start going to sleep early for me at about 8 or 9p. Weird how that works.
Have a good day.

@celticeagle My grandpa would get up around four and do some work when he came in there would be biscuits and red eye gravy and bacon and eggs and oatmeal and any kind of jelly or jam you could ever want and strong black coffee.

Our bodies sometimes have a mind of their own. I kept reading online that in the "olden days" that was how many people lived. Sleep a while, get up in the middle of the night, then go back and sleep some more.

@GardenGerty ....Farmers went to bed at dusk and up when the sun was coming up. WHat a life! I like to be up at night. Not so much during the day.

Yes, some nights are like that. When that happens to me, I don't get up anymore. I stay in bed and pray and think of what kind things I can do.

I could get up to pray. Some experts say staying in bed when you have insomnia trains your body to stay awake in bed, so if it has been too long, like an hour, I get up. I do sometimes pray when lying awake and that does help. I work on forgiveness of others, because I am finding that to be a problem in a certain situation and I get agitated and then stay awake.

@GardenGerty I am down to going to bed no later than 10:30 PM. This is working well for me.
It only happens to me on occasion when I can't sleep and eventually I fall back asleep. I do not have a serious problem at this time.

Most nights it is much better. I am getting some anxiety related to not working and just taking care of people.

Have a nice weekend, friend. It is easy to fall asleep when we are too tired.

I was extra tired early on. I think the weather changing has some bearing on it.

During the week, I get up at 4am to go to work. On weekends, I really, really would like to sleep in late, say maybe until 9am or something, but nope, I always wake up sometime between 4am-5am. It drives me crazy, especially when I can't really do anything without waking everybody else up in the house.

Yep. Even though I was quiet, etc. hubby says that the fact I am out of bed disturbs him. I do not buy that for all the time. It is more likely that his bladder disturbs him.

@GardenGerty My girlfriend is like that. She says she cannot sleep if I am not there by her side. Luckily, she gets up for work as earlier as I do.
