My father and brother and I are all intermittent sleepers, we will wake up after about four hours of sleep, unless we’ve been heavily sedated. And by heavy sedation, I mean a lot of Demerol or something similar. Even with Demerol, I’ll have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee, unless I also have a catheter for urine.

Usually, when I wake up, I’m pretty hungry, too, and I know from experience that I can’t sleep if I’m cold, have to pee, or I’m hungry. So usually I will eat some cheese and crackers…I generally don’t keep pie in the house. I’ll only have a single slice when I’m eating out.

But go right ahead and keep jumping to conclusions. The exercise is good for you.
