An interesting time to be awake
when mostly everyone in the hemisphere
is asleep. Babies are gurgling away
the hours, sleeping through the night.
A miner, after a strenuhous shift,
turns over and the bed creaks.
.
The stars are as indifferent as the moon
descending. The earth creeps toward the sun
but has not quite arrived.
.
An intersting hour, 4 a.m. Too aware
that most are alseep, there are
unquestionably an habitual number
who rise early or usually turn toward
home from an all night ramble.
.
Dependent on ending or beginning
the day, it is still an interesting
time.

I have to say how very much I
I have to say how very much I enjoyed reading this, I was so engrossed with everything that was going on.
As someone who is a very bad sleeper I know 4am very well, plus when I was on the early shift at work I was getting up at 4.15 having only just fallen asleep at 4.05am, most nights! Sue x.
Ouch!
I can function on 2 hours sleep, but no sleep happens mostly in emergencies. I can count on one hand insomnia from stress or over thinking - to be avoided. I like my sleep. Thanks for reading my work - Stella
