I woke about 4:30 and fought my body until 5:15 but eventually had to get up to go to the bathroom. The keyboard on my phone suggested garden, blog and office but it was definitely the bathroom. The next couple of hours saw me drift in and out of that lucid half-sleep. Not particularly restful so I stayed in bed for half an hour after the alarm.

That's not a habit I want to encourage but maybe, on this occasion, it helped as I have now finished the first draft of Chapter 3 with something I hadn't even considered and wasn't in my notes – one of those sparks of insight, a sudden realisation. A good way to finish a chapter on inspiration.
