While many believe that sticking to a good bedtime routine is all it takes to sleep well, there’s a surprisingly common occurrence that disrupts this goal: waking up between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM.

One Tow Truck Move by My Neighbor Unleashed a Full-Scale Inquiry!
Not every chapter in life starts with celebration or spectacle. Some begin quietly—with the calm of a tucked-away street, the soft creak of a front step, and the reassuring voice of a seasoned real estate agent named Linda. For Sarah and me, it all began with a turn into a peaceful cul-de-sac on Maple Lane. “You’re going to feel right at home,” Linda said with the kind of certainty that only comes from two decades of living in the neighborhood.
