Don't you just hate it when you wake up far too early? It's 4AM, and I can't do anything 'till 8:30!

8:30? I've been at work for a few hours already. Early start to avoid the traffic crush.

Do get up at 4AM if I need to bake bread early that day (because my starter wasn't ready in time and I couldn't back the night before.)

But seriously - if I wake up, I tend to get up. No point lazing about if my body says its ready to get up. Plenty of stuff I can do (read, web surf, cook, etc) I could do if I had "time to kill" as it were.

What I should have said is that I woke up at midnight. I made the post at 4. The only thing that might have been open was the bar. We have a bakery here, and some bakers are up that early, but I'm not sure what time they open. 5 or 6 maybe?

By 4 I read everything on the internet.

@TheGreatShadow Closest I can relate is jet lag - the second day arriving in Europe can see me doing something similar. Try to sleep at 11 or so, wide awake by 2 AM and the first meeting isn't until 8 or so . . .

I could go out but don't as I need to get some "sleep" before the work day ahead.

Where is this awful place you live where NOTHING can be done before 8:30 am!!!!?????!!!!!

Can you imagine? No using the bathroom, no brewing coffee, no making breakfast, no going to the gym, no checking emails/Facebook/Agnostic.com before 8:30? No showering, no getting dressed, no TV, no reading a book.....nothing!

I sure don't ever want to make a mistake and move there......

Time is only wasted if you choose to waste it.....

Two things I can't do. Live in a village of 600 people. And I haven't had my TV hooked up to an antenna since 2004.

@TheGreatShadow but you obviously have internet and I'm pretty sure you haven't read and watched all of it. LOL and books....there are books....so many books....

Also, an early morning walk/run??

@SkotlandSkye It was like 30 and raining here. No thanks on the walk.

I get up at 3am for work so my days off are hell just sitting around waiting for daylight.

One of my cats has been waking me up by knocking crap off tables and counters and stuff at 3 or 4 AM. It's basically panic-inducing, so there's no way I can go back to sleep, but have only gotten about 10 hours of sleep over the past four days or so, and feel really, really paranoid and awful. I'm with you in the trenches, and gladly accept any tips from anyone to get that cat to stop doing this.

Double sided tape kind of worked. Then the one cat figured out how to get past them. Water bottle doesn't phase her. I've heard of little gizmos that spray compressed air at the cat. What's worse is the one cat WILL NOT get along with any other cat. It's a fight till death sound when I'm trying to sleep. Also the one cat will attack her tail and growl LOUD! This sucks when you have insomnia and just fell asleep!

@TheGreatShadow My other cat also fights the knocker regularly at night. Both get the zoomies at around 2 AM. Augh.

I have two bedrooms in my house. On a working day, I wake early with the sun shining through my eastern side bedroom. I take the dog for a walk at 6am and am at work by 8.30. Now on weekends, I sleep in my bedroom facing the west. It is dark and I sleep longer.
But if it is insomnia you have, I listen to a guided relaxtion on 'sleep'. I don't make it through to the end of the audio.....I'm asleep. 😀

I have insomnia. NOTHING the doctors have given me has worked for more than a day or so.

I wake up early and either walk or go to the gym. There's stuff out there to do; you just gotta go find it.

Chat on here is about all, but not a lot of people are on here that late/early.
