His alarm. Long after my husband retired and I had no need to get up at 4 AM, Shadow picked that one as the wake up call. Every day. He'd dig at the bottom of the bed room door, pluck pluck, pluck, until my bladder (yep) and patience wore out. <br />Then he'd go back to sleep in my nice warn spot. mittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04878611591683283429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24957384.post-30706895990230760362015-04-11T11:41:22.663-05:002015-04-11T11:41:22.663-05:00I've been there with our Lucy playing the pian...I've been there with our Lucy playing the piano on me before the sun is up.

I was ready just to get up and get on with things but my alarm wouldn't be going off until 5:30am and I would be at school with my butt in a chair before 7am. I decided to lay back down but it was fitful and I never achieved much rest.nina michellehttp://ctfnina.wix.com/resuscitationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24957384.post-80738356227571861982015-04-06T20:58:50.245-05:002015-04-06T20:58:50.245-05:00Waking up before you need to wake up is painful. ...Waking up before you need to wake up is painful. Especially when your wake up alarm is that early. The only thing that has been helping me is that it takes me so long to fall asleep that I generally can get up and pee in the middle of the night on last time before I've actually fallen asleep but over an hour after I've gotten into bed.
