but some days (like today) I'm just up at 3am and have no desire/need for additional sleep Here is what often happens to me. I go to bed at 11 pm and later wake feeling like I had a good night's sleep and ready to take on the day. But I look at my watch and it is 3 am. Of course, 4 hours is not eno...
