Sometimes I wake up and think about problems that I didn't think about for ages, and figure out some solutions.....or suddenly remember somebody's birthday, or where I put that damned thingamajig. At 77 and 80, we're not the typical couple they speak of above who has the best sex ever. I'm more likely to think of what we're having for dinner and pull something out of the freezer.

But the main reason "I" have "2" sleeps is to "pee," and sometimes even "3" sleeps. That's a lotta thinking in one night. I see you posted your reply at 6:18 am my time, and that's too darned early to stay up, and you must have gone back for a 2nd sleep till about 8 am...no?

Thank you for posting Dixie, for as long as I live, when I wake up at night, I will forever think of you.

Tonight, after I turn in and fall asleep, when I wake up I will make my way to the computer and do heavy thinking. That's when I decided to post the op to this little thread.
