10. First in line for the blender
9. IMing my 75-year-old father—he’s up too!
8. Letting the newspaper boy know we’re watching
7. First in line for up-to-date news from the EU and the current state of the yen
6. Work . . . unfortunately
5. Letting the neighbor walking her dog that sh_ts on our flowers know we’re watching
4. Knowing the baby won’t be up for another three hours
3. First in line for wordherding!
2. Another smoothie at 10:30
And the number one reason that Having Reverse-Insomnia and Being Up at 4:30 a.m. Is Not So Bad:
1. Nap at 11*
*Note to self: the idea that you’ll be able to take a nap at 11 is your waking mind dreaming . . .

Your 75-year old father IMs? That’s just cool. Good luck with your reverse insomnia….
Right on, Tanya! Glad you have got some of our family bad habits. My best literary achievement is at 4 a.m. and my mother wrote me longhand letters of advice and information at 4 a.m. for many years through college and medical school. Since I arrived home this morning at 2 a.m. from a trip to Boston to my 50th reunion at Harvard Medical School, I overslept until 6:30. Oh well!!!
In addition to making smoothies, you can always call me! I have normal old insomnia, so I’m also up at 4:30…we can catch up on gossip. 🙂
