I'm grateful not to have them too often. That's tough, getting a second wind around 10! How do you cope with that?Kathy A.

I will occasionally wake up a few times, or have trouble going to sleep (even rarer--usually I fall asleep reading!) but not both! And to top it all off, the snoring and the alarm clock going off and the dog needing to be walked in the middle of the night. Sheesh.Kathy A.

I started reading while I was feeding him, until I realized it was keeping me awake longer than I needed to be to take care of him. At that point, time spent sleeping was like gold, even more coveted than reading time, so I (reluctantly) stopped.Kathy A.

Or if I do wake in the night, I usually fall back to sleep pretty quickly. I've had a few nights like you describe though. I'll sometimes get up to read, but not too often - like Timaree said - I want to sleep! Glad you got a good night's sleep afterwards!Cheryl Gebharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397847473688573549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-28911408527268260172012-05-30T09:03:48.552-04:002012-05-30T09:03:48.552-04:00Ugh, I hate those nights!

And I try not to read anything "good" or I'll be up when the sun peeks over the horizon. <br /><br />Scout, on the other hand, looks like a snoozy girl!Laure Ferlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-84443399467952706802012-05-30T07:22:01.373-04:002012-05-30T07:22:01.373-04:00I did get a good night's sleep, thanks.

Actually low at and meatless but I can't get myself to do that every day so some nights I toss and turn looking at the clock literally every hour of the night. My sister gets up and makes a cup of tea and reads. I only gave into that once so far. I don't want to get up and read; I want to sleep! When my cat stretches across the foot of my bed it's even worse!<br /><br />I do hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.com
