The column recalls readers seeking advice on sleep disruption caused by early morning calls and social visits. A mother explains 8:30 a.m. interruptions threaten rest after years of waking early, while Abby suggests politely requesting noon contact and, if needed, hanging up. A second reader questions a tea invitation etiquette, with Abby noting the hostess stated her time limits clearly.
