The last couple years (I am 71) have been my senior sleep habit  
evolution time. I often wake between two and four o'clock and, unless  
I have something burning to do, either read or do the mind control  
thing of focussing on breathing only and shutting all else out so I  
go back to sleep. It is deadly to start thinking about things I want  
to do.
