Guest guest Posted October 7, 2000 Report Share Posted October 7, 2000 Hi Isis - The hours you quote as sleeptimes are my normal hours. I am 50 years old, but like to read in bed until my eyes will no longer hold themselves open. It's a nice feeling to then turn out the light, wrap pillows around me and snuggle down under the covers. On weekends, when I don't have to get up to work, my unconscious knows I can sleep in and catch up whatever I missed during the week. Then that's a nice feeling, too. On the other hand, when I was young I had insomnia. Didn't know it until I started doing hatha yoga before bed and regularly fell asleep on the floor! Maybe it's not bad that you wake up at 5:30 am. Have you tried being happy about it, maybe getting up to do something special early in the morning? Like listening to beautiful music while drinking a favorite cup of tea? Can you see the sunrise from any of your windows?
