What do You do at 2 AM when You Can't sleep
Well this morning I was awake at 2:00 AM, couldn't sleep so I got after the cucumbers and beets, did a bucket of fridge pickles and a bucket of beets and onions then prepped 17 jars of dill pickles, I had no garlic so now I'm on hold until superstore opens at 7:00 AM

That is outstanding.
Sure beats lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, waiting for the alarm to go off...

Then my wife would be up wondering what the hell I'm doing.

I was awake at 5, and couldn't go back to sleep, so finally got up and did 3000 meters on the rowing machine, and a bunch of sets with dumbbells. Now my shoulder hurts. *sigh*

When I wake up in the middle of the night I just eat another gummy and sleep like a baby until 8 or 9 am.

I was going to say snuggle but if a fat lip is the outcome I don’t blame you for hitting up the kitchen for some quality time!

Snuggle is just fine, but there is an old saying " don't poke the bear " which could get you a fat lip

Yeah...last time I tried that she said she had a doctor's appointment the next day. So I said "Well it is not a dentist appointment".
Slept pretty well in the dog house that night...

A few glasses of fermented grapes in the evening helps a person sleep like a baby...

Wouldn't work for me - IncrediGirl is such a light sleeper... Even if I slip out of the bed to wet the porcelain, she'll snap awake and ask, "are you all right?"
Unless she's COMPLETELY exhausted, which does happen from time to time. Then I could run a chuckwagon team through the halls and she's sleep right through it.
