The amount I sleep varies wildly. I always try to get to bed by 10 pm because of possible triggers. At the moment, I wake up at about 2am. Considering it gets light at about 7.30 am, there is a long time before the day really gets going. Personally, I treat 4am as being "morning" and I feel okay being up and about after this.

My temptation is often to get up when I wake and start doing stuff. This generally leads to me burning out and hitting the proverbial wall in the evening. I am working on managing this better.

What do YOU do in this situation? How do you pass the time without burning out? My other problem is an inability or unwillingness to just do nothing. If I do nothing , I get anxious, but that is another problem. I have tried reading, listening to audio books, going in chat rooms, tossing and turning in bed, watching TV etc etc. Have you found a way to pass the long nights in a peaceful way? What works for you?
