The 3 o'clock wake up call?

I am what you might call a good sleeper. I maintain a regular sleep schedule and if I avoid sugar, caffeine and  alcohol, I sleep like a baby through the night. In our house, sleep is a precious gift that my husband and I both appreciate.
This summer we attended the I Can Do It Conference in Toronto put on by Hay House Publishing. The two day conference featured inspiring speakers who freely shared their wisdom, encouraging us to nurture our true spiritual nature and the unique gifts each of us has been given. Dr. Wayne Dyer is one of my favourite people and a fabulous, gentle teacher. In his presentation about manifesting miracles, he spoke about being awakened at 3:00 am. It is now habit for him to get out of bed at that hour and  work on whatever he's writing. He asked the audience how many people were awakened around that time and several people raised their hand. Dr. Dyer explained that it's a very spiritual time and being awakened is really being called to do this work in what is perhaps the quietest time of day. Of course it may not work for you if you have demands that require you to be asleep at that time but if you have flexibility, Dr. Dyer says that it's a powerful time and in order to maximize inspiration, he says to go for it and nap later.
This morning after about five and a half hours sleep, I was awakened and looked at the clock beside our bed. It was five to three and I thought what the heck let's see if this works. I came upstairs to my desk and two and a half hours later, I had accomplished quite a bit. It's a beautiful time of the day and now when I hear the subtle call of inspiration at 3:00 am, I'll answer.
