Perhaps this is actually an addition to the meditative process, a little dose of positive reality.

It is a nice way to spend time in my opinion as it can be used to better connect us to the world. I have found that a lot of smart people spend their time thinking about irrelevant topics these days. 

I get about 5 hours a night too - and then if I get the opportunity, take a 30 minute nap in the early evening so I can write after people go to bed. I used to write before work, but I get my daughter ready most days so it isn't possible at the moment. 

I would love to be able to get two naps in a day if I could :)
