Senior Citizens are famous for rising from their slumber at an early hour. They wake up early, sometimes before dawn and retire early in the evening after the 10:00 news.
Something has been desperately wrong with my body clock lately. I go to sleep between 11pm and midnight. At about 2:30am my eyes pop open and I'm awake until 4-4:30am. I could actually accept this new change in my life if it wasn't for the whole "take-care-of-children-scrub-the-house-run-errands" thing that consumes my waking hours.
I think about nothing in particular while I'm awake. I used to just lie in bed and repeat a boring mantra to try to drift off to sleep. That didn't work. Now I get up and walk around the house, read, write grocery lists.....whatever. I often wonder if I awake at that hour because it is SO QUIET. Blissfully so.
So for now, I walk around like a Zombie. I wonder if I will ever get back on my normal sleeping schedule again or if this is just the first of many steps toward getting older and losing sacred Seratonin. It's only 8:00 in the morning and I think I need a nap...........
