I agree, it is harder to sleep this time of year with the shorter dark times. But hopefully as they nights get longer it will get easier. I dont like the sun rising so early. -
Oooh, well I woke up in a really good mood this morning; having had a really good nights sleep!!
I am giving it until around 11 before the num nuts around me have ground me down back in to my usual bitter twisted self!
