5. Extra time to enjoy all the night time sounds and smells your family makes!
4. Time to e-mail all your insomniac friends, and get an instant reply!
3. Hour after hour to obsess without interruption nor distraction!

And might I add...great opportunity to catch up on favorite blog sites? So up at 3:17 am (Eastern Standard Time) tossing lists and letters and posts in my head for one hour, I get up at 4:15 to make a pot of coffee- (part of the problem perhaps?) and at 5:30 start reading Fully Caffinated who is Pacific time(2:30am) and has already posted today!
Thanks for the list... I feel better about my problem!
Breathe, darling girl, breathe.
Let the hamster off the wheel and count breaths like sheep.
May rest find you.
As one who was up between 2 and 5:30 AM, I feel your pain. I feel like I was shot out of a cannon today!
When you wake up....you wake up! I think of you as fully awake instead of 'not' asleep.
HEAR HEAR! LOVING the Top Ten Lists! No one does 'em like you Carrie Poo!
I can relate to this post a little TOO much at the moment, but love it all the same. I'm also going to read Jerri's comment about 10 times and pretend she's talking to me too.
The latest rec. I have gotten is from my sister, who couldn't say enough about Advil PM. Super gentle and super effective. But only if you DON'T feel like identifying the floor squeaks!
...11...the best time to be in the lower vibrations of the planet so you can receive the higher ones from above.
...12...best time to be with the one you love the most and who needs you the most right now...YOU!
And, I remember those nights well. They were a passage to myself. They were the pathway without explanation. And, they passed and when they did, I slept like a baby (finally).
P.S. excellect on the body with the description of walking the floorboards...
I like it when you're up late. See #4.
Have you tried Valerian? Writing usually helps me best though.
You'll be fine, it'll pass... For now send me lots of late night emails. :)
4. Are you out there now?
and can i add -
some of the best stories are the ones you can only tell yourself in the middle of the night.
peace and sleep to you. to us all.
one more: if you stay awake long enough you hallucinate.
AND, 2:22 is such a beautifully symetric number.
I love this post. So true. So true. I can't sleep, either, and I eat CEREAL during the wee hours of the morning. Well, that and spoons full of peanut butter!
I try and wake the dogs up and have them play with me. Doesn't work though. Lazy bastards.
