The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Not that you were keeping an eye on her Louise! Going home, are you in a different time zone up there or do you start early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Maybe it was removed but it was there honest She was banging on about how easy and cheap you can build a wooden house again I don't work in a different time zone I start at about 7.30/8 am most days Although I am occasionally here till the wee small hours and even the occasional night shift I was nearly in at 6.30pm on Saturday I wasn't on call but I was the only sad git who answered their phone and was 'available' on a Saturday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yes but you know what she is like I think if one of us jumps in and says 'yes okay but we don't want a wooden coop' it will be war I can't be bothered with it so I will content myself with just watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 You get used to it Clare and being an insomniac does help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I need loads of sleep, but am definitely better in the mornings than at night. I don't mind getting up really early if I have to, but I am usually so exhausted that I slepp right through to the alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I wish About 3 years ago my insomnia was so bad I was lucky if I got 2 hours a night but now I usually get about 5 hours which is not too bad I still have the odd very bad night a couple of weeks ago I went to bed at 9 woke at 11.30 and that was it I have mostly cut out caffeine I still drink a little tea but not after 10 am no coffee no cola drinks and very little chocolate It helps I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myles Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Louise Are you ok with 5 hours or are you "knackered" (spelling) all the time.I could sleep for England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I am pretty used to it now although I do get tired in the afternoon and I can't remember what a late night is like!! When I was only getting 2 hours I looked (and felt) like I was permanently drunk/hung over with that sort of spaced out not really here feeling all the time I am surprised one of the welfare bods didn't haul me in I looked so pale I used to be able to sleep on a knife edge a nap in the afternoon and 8 hours at night to go from that to 2 hours was quite a shock but I am happy with 5 hours and if I am needed at work at unusual times I can do it without too much shock to the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Glad you get more sleep now Louise. I'm a PhD student, so I drift in as soon after 9 I can manage. At the moment it's half 9. Still more of a morning person. Sure it will change when I get a "real" job. I should enjoy it while I can. Don't think I could manage 4.30 unless I was getting a plane very early. It throws me out for days if I get up extra early. OH can quite happily sleep in until lunch or even afternoon. He is like the living dead before he has a shower.

Popcorn Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I went to bed at 9 woke at 11.30 and that was it I've just caught up on the lastest in this thread and oh my word Louise! You poor old soul you. Saying that though, I suffer with not being able to get to sleep sometimes, but am ok once I do drop off. Sometimes I go to bed 9pm and I'm still lying there half awake, half asleep at 11.30 not quite managing to go under. I think the main thing is not to stress about it. Just accept it, and do something good with your time. If I can't sleep nowadays, instead of lying there, I get up, have a chamomile tea and read for a bit. Usually does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I'm with Louise - except I never go to bed before 11.30pm I go to bed late and get up early and usually have around 6 hours. I think Sheila is the same - we quite often have a chat on here at midnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
