Cool! This is what I do. Go to bed around 10, sleep until about 2 or 3, wake up and do some reading, some freeping, and go back to bed for a few more hours. It helps that I don’t have to get up for work!
It is those random 0300-0400 wakeups with no going back to sleep regardless of what I do that madden me. Toss and turn for 2-3 hours sucks.
There are other things you can do that makes the second period of sleep more restful.
I did this all last winter. Would read for an hour and fall back to sleep. It was nice and I always had a total of 7 to 9 hours of good sleep. I am less anxious and more cheerful.
Judy, you have described my timetable also.
Me too.....except I DO have to get up for work. :)
You’ve pretty much described my pattern. Up until I was about thirty I slept in one continuous block, but nowadays I usually wake up with some work related problem on my mind at around 2am. I’ll think about it for awhile, usually coming to some sort of resolution, then I’ll sleep again until five or six. I almost never sleep all the way through the night anymore.

Very similar to my schedule. I don’t have to get up to go to work either. I sometimes nap in the afternoon too. However, my son tells me that any sleep which lasts for three hours or more, can’t legitimately be called a “nap”.
