I do love my sleep, just a shame it don’t love me.
Sometimes i can be awake for 2 days sleep 3 hours and up again.
Even as a child i recall many a time not having slept a wink and gone to school.People say when you do more, you will be tired, that has never worked for me. When i was in training, (which i would do for maybe 5 or 6 months at a time) i used to jog 6miles every other day, go to the gym for 2 hours after that.
and on the days i didnt train i would go swimming for a hour or so and maybe a 10mile cycle depending on the weather. I still only slept about 6 hours a night even then.Some people are just not meant to sleep, ive tried sleeping pills, all the coco drinks and hot milk, makes no difference. Alcohol makes me sleep even less.
I did once stay awake for 5 days, then when i did go to sleep, i slept for 18hours solid :lol:
The only thing that makes me sleep more, is when im really ill. :?
i think ur right anita abt some people need more than others, but sometimes i feel like a zombie lol and its doing nowt for my looks i dont look the young 21 i am anymore ;) lol i look oh atleast 30 ish lol

Doctors and clinics which advise sleep hygiene to patients and families have their own lists of suggestions. Which items are suggested for which patients depend on knowledge of the individual situation gained by interview. Suggestions which may be included within sleep hygiene and discussed with a patient can include:
Timing
Try to arise at the same time every day.
Try to maintain a consistent bedtime, but go to bed only when sleepy.
Any nap should be short and earlier than 3 p.m.
PreparationExercise regularly, preferably outdoors.
Limit use of caffeine and nicotine in the evening if they affect sleep.
Avoid alcohol in the evening as its apparent helpfulness is shortlived.
Avoid television and the computer screen for an hour or more before bedtime.
Try to avoid stimulating mental and physical activities before bedtime.
Gradually decreasing surrounding light levels in the hours before bedtime may be helpful.
EnvironmentThe bedroom should be quiet and cool.
The bedroom should be as dark as possible. Nightlights in the hall and the bathroom may help to avoid bright light during sleep time.
The bed should only be used for sleep and sex, not for other activities, as the association bed means sleep can be helpful.the nap thing is interesting actually i feel really tired in afternoon when not sleeping well and i force myself not to sleep with the idea that it will help me sleep later, i do wonder actually if not giving into that nap makes me even more overtired and makes it all worse, and i definitely think i should start the reading earlier.
Thx for that pete :) xx
Not wanting to alarm you poli, but i did read some medical study recently that said, people under 40 who get tired and need afternoon naps, it’s an early sign of a stroke.
But these days they say all kinds of sh!t is linked to everything.
ohhh i like a good stroke ;) i dont need naps when im sleeping tho Anita and i dont take naps i just feel that i could lol erm 1999 i think that was lol
thx for my siggy btw pete :) xxx

I went at 1am last night after no alcohol and 1 hours reading. I was still wide awake when Dave got up at 4.30, I told him to shut the window cos my feet were cold.
Eldest got up at 7 and I felt wide awake… then thought… far too early, too much time to fill before work so have another hour. Got up at 8 and felt crap.
My ideal working day would be get up at 12 and go to sleep at 3am. I could manage that perfectly, but someone decided that wasnt what it was going to be (who decided that we go to bed early and get up early anyway?!)
I function better late when its dark anyway. Infact I could go to work now and bang out double the divorces over the next few hours than I did all day. :roll:
Wierd.
Well obviously someone said something that worked i actually got nearly 5 hours last night :D :D :D :D :D i think it was petes hypnotic trance words :lol:
though i do feel a tad groggy for all that sleep. roll on tonight im gonna aim for a 6 !I got 7 hours last night, maybe it was the female ear bending i got, and my brain switched off as a safety device :lol:
Roll on another night of listening to “its all your fault” :P
