Interesting to i drink a lot of coffee throughout the day also prior to retiring to bed, supposed to keep you from sleeping.

Worknights I am usually wanting to go to bed before the child! Anything from 10 pm onwards, I have to be up at 7 every day and my job is both physically and mentally tiring, not to mention the extra hour+ travelling. I do sometimes suffer from repetitve thoughts/dreams and use Bach Night Rescue remedy to counteract those. I would sleep till 7 each morning if it weren't for my dumb neighbour having her radio on so loud I can name the tune!

When I was working I discovered a scientific fact (Oh, yes, I'm not just a pretty face).

There is a little trip-switch inside the brain of everyone who has to get up around 7 a.m. This means that if you have a bad night, and many of us have from time to time, and you can't sleep or are awake from, say, 2 a.m., the minute it gets to 7 o clock the switch trips and you can then sleep "for England".

It's no use arguing with me that this is not correct. I know this from repeated experiments and it has been confirmed by colleagues, friends, relations, neighbours and distant acquaintances, all of whom have bloodshot eyes with bags underneath.

There's not a lot of people know that.

I usually seem to manage ok on that.

"About 4 ish" and "about 7 ish"

Isn't there a little syntactical redundancy here? Being pedantic makes me feel nice and drowsy. I think I'll head off, and hit the sack. As Dixon of Dock Green used to say ......

I need a lot of sleep.
I get little sleep.

I get up at 8AM, generally go to bed at midnight or after.
I often dont get to bed till 12:55 - later if I'm doing some heavy web research into something.

There is not enough time in a day to do everything that needs doing.
