What I Found in a 2 A.M. Shopping Cart (and Why It Matters)

What I Found in a 2 A.M. Shopping Cart (and Why It Matters)

Every now and then, I find myself wide awake at 2 a.m.—not because I’m weighed down with grief or worry, but because life happens. Travel throws off my rhythm, my mind won’t settle, or I simply can’t coax myself back to sleep. I know I’m not alone. 

Whether your reason for insufficient sleep is body aches & pain, medical anxiety (colonoscopies, anyone?), current events, or even a thunderstorm outside. We can find ourselves awake, staring at the ceiling, or shuffling around in our pajamas in a dark house.
