3 am..... wide awake again..... (though it;s 03;40 right now...).... could it have been the
 full harvest moon this time?....... ..or the fact it;s a few hours past friday 13th and the 
streets were so noisy we could hear it all the way to the 39th floor?... ...(we closed the 
windows and doors and turned on the air conditioner to shut out the noise)..... .. or 
could 3 am have been when the thermostat briefly shut the air conditioner off ?.........
....(it;s on again now and the chilly atmosphere in the apartment actually matches the 
sounds in this video). ......

testing this video now to see if it really works.... playing it on continuous loop through 
noise cancelling headphones and the stereo speakers in my room... ... .if i get drowsey
 and fall asleep at the computer i guess i;ll know....  ...

Its 3PM and I'm awake....... I want to be asleep....

  ...i wonder what the sleep sherpas would say about that?....  


 

recently added this to my sleep assistance soundtracks.... ...at first hearing
it doesn;t seem like something that help somebody sleep.... .. but for some
reason it works for me.. ...... 




the full moon in january is known as the "wolf moon".... ... i was born in january under one....
.... . maybe that;s why i have a hard time sleeping on nights like this..... ... i should be outside
....running around howling......

i tried sleeping through the night with this playing on continual loop the other night....
..it didn;t work very well.... ...it actually made me scared to go to sleep... ... so i switched
back to a virtual rainstorm with occasional thunder... ... still.... this is a pretty interesting
soundtrack..... ...and spooky....

3 am.....  and here i am again.... wide awake.... ...decided to listen to this on continuous
loop..... ....doesn;t put me back to sleep... . but it;s still good to chill out to.......... 

I know how you feel. My wife and I usually are up every morning at 2 or 3 AM. We've GOT to get up at that time, though. She has to be at work some mornings at 6 AM, and others at 7....We are usually in bed by 8 PM every night, and then she and I both are up and down all night long. Both with severe back trauma in the past and continued challenges from that trauma have made life interesting. Some nights Vivian comes out here to the living room to find me listening to music on the computer...other nights she gets up and comes out here to try and sleep in the recliner.

 wow..... that;s kinda the same thing i do when i am wide awake at 3am... .. listen to music on youtube... .... that;s usually when i find music i didn;t know about before.... ....but i also have several lists that play what i have saved in order.... then i look at news feeds or get onto the forums while listening.... ..

but when i do things like that i will sometimes stop after a couple of hours and start cooking breakfast and coffee for the ones who get up early to start work.. .... .... then afterwards  i;ll end up going back to bed and sleep till almost noon..... ...then going to sleep again early around 8 ...... .but that;s the unusual kind of schedule.... .. when things are normal i am asleep around 9 and don;t wake up until 6 and start doing all the kitchen stuff then..... ... ......

i have never been able to accurately pin down why i wake up suddenly at 3 some nights and not others. .. .i don;t have pain issues that keep me awake.....  but sometimes i have nightmare issues that wake me up.. ..... and then sometimes i just find myself awake for no apparent reason at all...... always at 3 am sharp.. ....  ..but i learned a long time ago to never allow myself to get use to laying in bed awake.... so once i wake up i get up.... .. and usually the very moment i lay back down in bed later i;m asleep within seconds..... but i don;t go in there and do that unless i am really tired.... ..

i thought it was fireworks again.... but this time it was thunder... with a huge lightning flash
and it just happened to have occurred at 3am....... the live feed is posted below....  and if
you are looking at it at 3 am hawaii time you can see the thunder storm move in... ...quite
a light show so far....... small craft advisories around all islands......
