recently was doing a 2 hr commute to london, up at 5:45 outta the door 6:30, in the office 8:30 (good day) leave office 5:00/5:30
back home around 7:30 / 8:00
had a 6 week old when i started the contract so 12 months i couldn't get a complete nights sleep either
oh the joys of contracting
BUT
new contract is 6 miles down the road, in the office for 8:00 back home for 4:30
there is always light at the end of the tunnel
TIP: for staying awake bit of drum and bass every load in the car, wakes you up in the morning and keeps you alert in the eveningsComment

Knackered.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

The rest of the week I only have a 15 min commute, so I factor in some 'dither' timeI'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

I generally aim to get up no earlier than 8am
I am NOT an early morning person. Only caveat to that is when there is a large volume of high pressure work to get on with which generally helps me focus.
I spent three years trying to get up early and in the office between 8 and 8.30am. But it was clearly not working, I just can't get to sleep early enough and end up wasting most of the morning then still working late to catch up on what I should have done in the morning, getting home still feeling tired and then feeling wide awake an hour before I should be going to bed!Coffee's for closersComment
