life at 4 a.m.

So it seems that I must endure another night of only 4 hours of sleep.  I'm not sure what is happening inside my brain to make me so sleep deprived, but here I sit, 4 o'clock in the morning while everyone else is blissfully sleeping.  I am wandering around the house, eating cereal and contemplating life.  The heater is humming quietly and I can hear Shawn snoring in the background.  Words are jumping around in brain, but I just can't seem to bring them all together and let them flow out of me.

Such is life at the moment.

What does a person DO at 4 a.m.?  I am open to suggestions.

  1. Hey you might already have heard of this article http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/23/opinion/sunday/rethinking-sleep.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
    about "second sleep". (Sorry I haven't figured out to do fancy linky text.)

    It doesn't help me sleep any better, Ha! but eases my mind a little about maybe why I am waking up in the wee hours? I wake up many nights after about 5 hours, and unfortunately most of the time it's only an hour or so before I actually have to get up, so I never get that "second sleep". But on the weekends sometimes I do. :)
