what do you do when you wake up so early in the morning?I

If I wake up really early, I just lay there and think maybe I will go back to sleep. But usually I can't. If I lay in bed too long, I hurt when I get up. I sometimes get up and get online and do stuff online or maybe just watch some TV.

I usually end up doing something crafty... I find that making jewelry is kind of relaxing... there's something about stringing beads and listening to music that makes me feel less stressed out. I am also a soap and candle maker and have my own online store, though sales are slow now I am always trying to think of new and creative ideas of products to offer. Or I blog on LiveJournal... very therapeutic.

i dont sleep well either as a rule and sometimes i wake up very early and sometimes i will just go on the computer and come on mylot to make a few extra pennies to spend on ebay. sometimes i will just lay there and try and sleep but usually that doesnt happen.

I do that almost every night.I try to go to sleep and i just toss and turn cuz i think of how bad my life sucks and it makes me sick. And I wonder how ive lasted this long so dont worry about waking so early just take advantage of it.

It's quite frequent with me nowadays, working up in the mornings and not able to go back to sleep. I would either read a book or watch TV in bed or go online. Reading or watch TV is better, as I can just close the book or switch off the TV if I'm feeling sleepy again and go back to sleep.

Last night, I couldn't sleep too. I don't know why. All sorts of thoughts were floating inside my head. Moreover, the dogs in the neighborhood were wildly excited and were barking their heads off. This cacophony lasted more than an hour. I just tossed aside the sheets, turned on my computer, and did some forum posting.

Cheers and happy Mylotting

Hi,
Ya it happens for me too some times. I used to check mails at that time., or rather hear songs to make me relaxed. I also orkut when iam bugged up without sleep. Perhaps, if none had worked as said above, i will just shut my eyes wanting to sleep. Also, try this, Have a gulp of cool water and then continue to sleep, you will have peaceful nights..:) take care:)

I'm a late sleeper so I also wake up late. Whenever I wake up early I stay in bed until I know it's time to get up and stat preparing myself for work. But if I cannot put myself back to sleep or if I am wide awake and restless already, I just get up and play with my daughter who wakes up earlier than I do.

Most of the time when I get up early in the morning is because I got to get my daughter up and ready for school so after she is off to school I clean up a little to make myself tired.

Many times I can't sleep and start doing something. Art, reading, or something that you need to be creative. And if you are really tired you'll fall asleep again. At least this works for me.
