We live in Alaska and we have more daylight this time of year. The days are getting longer and longer now. My hubby and I like to go to bed between 8-8:30 pm and watch a show before we go to sleep. He typically rolls over and falls asleep between 9-9:30 pm. Of course this gets to me because it’s still daylight and very bright outside. There's still so much time to write content. I haven’t written nearly as much as I have planned and I have a lot of ideas spinning through my head.

I have frequently thought that it would be cool if I could just hook myself up to a computer while I’m asleep and I could just write in my dreams (can anyone say “Tommyknockers”....just kidding, not quite the same, but close). It seems as soon as my head hits the pillow at night I get a flood of ideas.

So last night I discovered that I could lay in my bed and type out my thoughts in an email to myself. Maybe I'm behind the times, but hey I'm older than some of you young ones who are up on all the latest technology and doing all your work on your phone.

Well, last night my hubby fell asleep at about 9:15 pm and I laid in bed for about 15 to 30 minutes reading when it occurred to me, because I had all these thoughts flying through my head, that I could just type out what I wanted to say and email it yo myself.

It was driving me crazy that there was still daylight and I couldn’t be in my office drafting my articles. My hubby is a very light sleeper and my office is right off our bedroom. I can’t bear to wake him. He doesn’t get enough sleep as it is and has a very stressful job.

I started typing and quickly drafted three posts, plus this one to post on WA. Now I could just open them up and save them to my word document and tweak them. By the time I finished drafting this post it was almost 11:30 pm and I felt like I was half awake and in a dream state.

I think I will try this again tonight but I’ll pull out my iPad and work on it instead. We’ll see how it goes. My phone may end up being a little easier because I can just hold it in the palm of my hand. It'll be an experiment with my iPad.

Hope this idea helps someone else, if you aren't already using your phone to write your posts. Like I said earlier, I may be a little behind than some.

Have a blessed Sunday!!
