But then I had to get up again because I had to clear the driveway of snow. Then I spent the day doing my usual work. Then I went back to bed.

    I envy that you were able to go back to sleep. I stayed up very late last night because I’m on vacation and was planning on sleeping in. But I was woken up by my wife who needed me to do something urgent for her, and I can never fall back asleep after getting up. Now I have to face the rest of the day without enough sleep

      Happens to me on about a daily basis at this point … age does that to you … health does that to you … pain does that to you. Usually I just take cat naps in the day anyway now. Give yourself 30 minutes (no more, no less) and you’ll be good to go again for a few hours. Snooze less than 30 mins and it doesn’t help … go over 30 minutes and you’ll wake up groggy and it will take you an hour or so to get back to normal.

      Happy you’re on vacation … have fun where ever you are and in whatever you’re doing.

        I can’t usually take naps. If I can fall asleep at all, it takes like 45 minutes, so setting a half hour alarm definitely doesn’t work.

        By “vacation” I meant I’m on PTO. I’m still at home. My wife doesn’t have the extra PTO, so I’m just lounging around and trying to get some R&R.
