Sleep

[buffalowolf]

For the past 30 odd years, i get to bed around 11-00 - 11-30pm depending what time i get home from darts and up again 4-00am to start work at 4-30am.Its all i ever needed , my body wakes me up no alarm clock. Its was my job to collect all the shopping trolleys from the streets in the next 3 surrounding towns.best done before all the traffic etc

Kids apart I'm much better than I was.

When I was working in banking and worked all hours I would probably manage about 2-3 hours sleep a night. I would go to sleep at about 10.30pm, and wake up at about 1.00am and not get back to sleep. That went on for years. I then decided to do something about it.

I made sure I did nothing in bed other than sleep. No reading, or watching TV.
If I woke up I got out of bed. That as the single most difficult thing to do.
If I felt tired I would go back to bed.
I stopped having caffeine after 3.00pm - which pretty much led to me not having caffeine at all.

Basically I trained my body to understand that bed was for sleeping. It took about a week or two, and it sorted me out, until I started needing to get up for the toilet. I got around this by simply not getting out of bed. After about a week I stopped waking up at all.

These days, assuming the kids don't wake me up, I sleep pretty well.

If I didn't work I wouldn't need much more than 6. But, looking at computer screens all day I struggle on less than 7! I sleep for 7-8 hours.

Always been a night owl, so it's generally 4 or 5 hours sleep a night. Occasionally I'll go through the whole night without any kip.

Wide awake just for a change. At least getting to watch Cookie & Compo both edging towards tons.

Girlfriend goes to bed by 9, I go to bed at 12. I get up at 5:30, she gets up at 7:30. Occasionally we'll meet in the middle but we're both so used to our sleep patterns it's easier to stick to our own. On the occasions she stays up till ten I will go to bed at the same time and usually read a book for a couple of hours.

Is 'read a book' a euphamism?

I was fairly sure that the only people from szfc that could read were me and fellow Trojan scrounger.

Well, yes, it's actually iBook on my iPad.

Bambi you can't even spell your own name as proven on Tannoy's stag.
