It's interesting how several of you mentioned that this is a pretty normal sleep cycle for humans, and the old-time "two sleeps" schedule. I hadn't thought of that but I do remember reading about it at some point. I've also read that dogs in the wild sleep as much as 23 hours a day, and all the evidence in our house suggests that's true of domestic dogs too!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-86764672275138333752019-11-15T01:53:04.095+00:002019-11-15T01:53:04.095+00:00Love your 3:00 am shot, Getting up with a nursing ...Love your 3:00 am shot, Getting up with a nursing baby, getting up to just sit in moon glow and think.

I do get up sometimes to go to the bathroom but not to talk to anyone or take photos. (lol) I think you have trained your body to awake at that time and that is what is happening. I guess Dave and Olga say let him get up and walk in the dark because we will be sleeping.

I do though not every night. used to be 2 AM. and as gz says, there is some research that suggests two sleep periods were/are more normal. it seems during the Victorian age people would even get up and get dressed and go out. the full moon is all you need to see well at night if you let your eyes adjust to it. back when I was a river guide out in the wilderness I never used a flashlight on full moon nights. didn't need to.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-86494834730202198692019-11-14T14:45:34.270+00:002019-11-14T14:45:34.270+00:00And how lovely to see your garden beyond.

My favorite time of day is the hour before sunrise in August, and when I lived in a small village I would put on a sweater and take a walk down the road with a cup of tea. I used to have a cat who could walk on a leash and he would come with me. I miss that village and I miss that cat.<br /><br />I'm so happy that you're reading Diary of a Bookseller! I've read it twice and it was just as delightful the second time around. His sequel, Confessions of a Bookseller, is good too, but it was written knowing that his first book was an international success so it's a bit more self-conscious. <br /><br />When I was in Wigtown last Summer I got to visit The Bookshop and I got to hold Captain.

I haven't in several years.<br /><br /> Your photo really turned out pretty awesome. It does look surreal with the lights. Isn't it funny how different things look in the dark and in the moonlight? Sometimes I go outside just to walk around and look at the plants, the grass an weeds that look so pretty in the dark.<br /><br /> Heading to bed now... Talk to you soon.
