As you can see by my post timing, I am awake very early and not by choice. I suspect that it is a hor-moan-al thing. Just another symptom of mentalpause- er I mean menopause.

I saw an article the other day by a woman (of course) who also found herself waking at 2 or 3 in the morning- and staying awake. (I wish that I had read the entire article- it was in an office waiting room) She states that many women in their 40’s awake very early like this-and don’t go back to sleep.

They don’t go back to sleep- but they don’t actively get up and DO anything either because most activities cause enough noise to waken the entire family. ( that’s why a good website is a Godsend ” title=”Wink” /> )

What I wished I had gotten to read was the rest of her article- she felt if the world could actually harness productivity of these insomniacs a whole lot could be accomplished.

Here’s my question, and I suspect it is not just mentalpausal women who awaken in the wee hours,: What do you do with the time when you wake up way before anyone else and can’t go back to sleep? When answering please be careful
