Post 68, 2013 Best Choice - when you wake up a few hours early

A lot of my friends have insomnia.. I feel bad for them. like really bad. One friend just cannot sleep. She spends hours watching infomercials, playing the Wii, reading, exercising, anything she can to keep herself occupied. I feel horrible for her. Sleep meds do not work. I have had two friends lately tell me they woke up at 5 and could not go back to sleep. Friend one decided to just go to the gym and work out a little longer than usual. Friend two decided to make breakfast for the office. I would have worked out too. To me if my mind is already awake, then the best thing I can do is work out and try to tire it a bit. Plus extra work out for me YAY! Neither persons choice was bad. One choice is definitely a healthier choice than the other. They both got up and did something they loved. Whatever your reason is for not sleeping, try to figure out why you are not sleeping, it is your mind is racing, you have to pee (that is me) your environment, etc. Then do some research on the best ways to go back to sleep. Now if you want up an hour early, do not fight it, get up, do some jumping jacks or your fave work out, then make some breakfast for others if that is your niche.. and then go to work. But definitely do something active. The more active you are during the day, the better you were sleep and the less likely you are to wake up without a full nights rest!
