Narrative:
Due to turbulence at FL360; we decided to climb for smoother air. About 10 mins after leveling at FL380; the stick shaker activated disconnecting the autoplt. Safe recovery from a near stall required descending 2000-3000 ft. During the climb from FL360 to FL380 I am not sure if I applied full climb power. For 20 mins before the stick shaker until the time of the stick shaker my attention was on a crossword puzzle; so the primary reason for the stick shaker was not monitoring the flight instruments; and doing a suduko crossword puzzle instead.
