Prophet Zacharia Posted September 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2019 I had a very busy weekend. Went to bed exhausted at 9:30 pm Sunday, slept through until 5 am. Very good for me. Went to be at 9:30 Monday night, too, but without all the physical exertion and stress that the weekend had, I couldn’t clear 3 am. Now my wife is up and wants coffee, which means the cats will want to be fed and the dog wants to go out and the day has begun. But it’s only 4:34 am! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted September 24, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2019 As I got around to reading this at about 4:30 after scanning the morning news and having breakfast I'm wondering what all the fuss is about. Cheer up. It could be worse. You could be getting up at 3. Ralph and I can tell you about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By “up” you mean out of bed and starting the day, not just awake? What I find challenging is that whenever I wake up at 0300, I start to get sleepy again at whatever time I need to actually get out of bed. That feeling seems to last most of the day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up, breakfasted and contemplating what to do quietly so as not to wake the rest of the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted September 24, 2019 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2019 Up, walked the dogs, and now drinking remaining cold coffee in my cup, and eating a few peanuts while I put my wife's sheepdog trial photos in new folders labeled by date. That takes a while, so here I am. I get about 4-5 hours sleep before needing to get out of my chair and wander down the hall. Normally check my blood glucose between 2-3am and medicate accordingly. Waking my wife is no problem, as she is very deaf, as is Lad the border collie. Shadie is outside in the kennel, but Tag and Duke like to come on the back porch and nap for a while in their crates. Many times when we go out around 8am, they will be laying on their pads, and may open one eye to look at us. No telling how long they would keep napping without our disturbance. About 4:30 am now, and if I wait until 5:30 am, I can go to McDonalds and get a breakfast burrito. Then I'd be set for the morning. Hope everyone has a Great Day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s only 4:34 am! Can't she handle that while you got (or tried to get) some more sleep? Yesterday, at 5am, my wife decided she wanted to read and turned on the bedside light. WTF????? She said, "I've been up since 3am, and can't get back to bed, so I thought I should at least read." I said, at least shake me awake BEFORE turning on the light! Went for 0-100 in a millisecond. Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
