English term or phrase: Lying there at 3 AM I suspected I had not.
...I was sure, though,that I'd had a positive influence on a good number of people. Right? They always paid me, didn't they? But if all I had done-after all these years-was broaden a few horizons and help a few folks try something a little different, had I really earned that money? Lying there at 3 AM I suspected I had not.
