5. What is the deal with baking in the middle of the night?

I here people say "I couldn't sleep and it was 3 am so I got up and baked a triple layer upside down cake, then went back to bed" I always thought that was bizarre.

11. My best friend and I did that once.

We were seniors in high school. She was sleeping over; we had no school the next day due to high school hockey tournaments. A whole bunch of us were planning to go to the games the next day, but for some reason she and I couldn't sleep. We got up and made a chocolate chip cake.

The next morning over breakfast, my dad mentioned that he'd had a strange dream: that someone was baking a cake. He said the dream was so vivid, he even SMELLED the cake baking!

When we told him what we'd done, he, too, thought it was strange.

It must be hereditary. My daughter, a senior in high school, and her friend were baking a cake in the middle of the night not too long ago.

3. only on the weekends

4. yes, but then I eat and sleep

[tridim]

6. Nope

For some reason I only bake in the evening, usually after 10pm. I think it helps my brain sleep more soundly. I've never had the desire to wake and bake.

13. That kind of baking

disrupts sleep architecture, and can cause significant reductions in REM sleep. At least that's my understanding. So, I guess it's not surprising that you have the perception of very deep sleep.

Of course, without enough REM sleep, you can go *insane*.

Don't write that!

Dammit, why do you have to criticize everything I do?

I'm not criticizing, I'm offering an opinion, can't I have opinions?

Who asked you for your opinion?

Uhhh.... what was I talking about earlier?

14. hehehehe

[htuttle]

7. Of course! Didn't you ever notice the word 'coffeepot'?

Coffee + Pot, you see?

It's like they were designed to go together!

[sniffa]

8. every day

[meegbear]

9. Back in the good ole days, yes

[wakfs]

10. Always

It's the only way I can drag myself to work each day! I work in a software sweat shop.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

12. More often than not.

It's as safe as coffee.

[tk2kewl]

15. no more

used to. and if you fell back asleep, the wake-and-bake was downgraded to a false-start

17. he he

[Threedifferentones]

16. Only on very special occassions

I find that if I bake right after I wake I have an urge to to unwake shorlty after the baking is over.

18. haven't been baked for three months..

sometimes I miss it, but not as much as I thought I would. Used to enjoy a good WnB though, especially on the days of the week that I got to work from home. Nothing like a good burn with a cuppa coffee.. memories.
