Quite a few people have difficulty getting off to sleep at times for all sorts of reasons, mainly worrying I think. Glad to see you posting again emmie, I've always enjoyed your posts.

Butterbun

I'm naturally nocturnal, so I often go to bed at around 8am and get up at tea-time. So I'm quite often posting (and zapping all the Asian spammers who turn up then) in the early hours of the morning.

Sometimes though I'll simply stay up for two or three days continuously and then sleep for perhaps 20 hours afterwards.

I've never had 'normal' sleep patterns. In my early 20s I only went to bed on Tuesdays (for just 3 hours), Thursday (3 hours again) and Sundays (for a massive 4 hours), and even then I sometimes skipped one of those night's sleep.

how do you do it, if i don't get 8 hours of sleep then i am useless, well more useless than normal.

Chris - last time I went for days without sleep I ended up in the loony bin and a prescription for Lithium.

I should go to bed earlier but can't sleep for ages. I usually go to bed between 11pm-12am. Then I can lie there for another few hours not haven't slept a wink. When I do eventually go off, I go into a deep sleep and it can be late morning 10-30am -11.30 am by the time I get up. That makes me feel bad then. I guess I must be a night owl....

I'm with you emmie, im totalled by 9pm and usually in bed by 9.30 at the latest.

I'm up at 6.30/ 7am during the week, and 5am on Sundays (work), Saturdays I get a lie in, usually only til about 9am though, any longer than that and the dog's stares start burning a hole in my forehead.
