Try reading a few d000hg posts. But make sure you set your alarm.

Yawn.

Yawn.

Correct. That is exactly what happens.

You oldies do need your rest.

Yeah. Suffered from it for years. It's always at its worst when I know I have to get up early so Sunday nights can be a nightmare.

I've actually had a few occassions where I haven't slept at all & then have had to battle through the next day feeling like absolute crap.

This has all got a lot better since I discovered Nytol. Just pop a couple of those down about 30 minutes before you go to bed & you'll be fine.

Leaves me feeling a little drowsy the next day but nothing as bad as that awful feeling you get when tyou've had no sleep at all - cold sweats, nausea etc.

Well for either the third or fourth consecutive night I am wide awake as 2am approaches, all this after giving up coffee a week ago!

I have about 5-6 hours sleep every night, been that since I was on a rotating continental shift pattern for about 4 years. I used to sleep about 10 hours before that.

It's great, you get to pack more stuff in a day. Never feel tired or the need to have naps.

+1 (without the shift bit)

Wide awake!

[Sysman]

Didn't get to sleep until past 2:30.*

Been wide awake since 4:30.**

Not through choice.

Some wretched party week going on and it's driving me nuts.

* closing time at 2 am
** bin men scraping a load of broken glass off the floor, and chucking it into a collector bin at the back of a dustbin wagon. Further crunches as the dustbin wagon consumed that lot and packed it down.

Tulip. I've slept through my alarm and now I'm late.

I suffer from it terribly. I find drinking a bottle of wine a night works for me, but it's not very healthy.
