3) Or before creeping into bed.. just before the sky lights up signaling you that you stoically shirked sleep, do you swear "tomorrow night I'll sleep"

Snigger... always...

Sterling..lol

I was waiting for ye to check in.

This ^ is especially true for me and when I wrote it you came to mind and I thought "Oh Sterlings gonna laugh at this one"

Welcome to the club mate~

At RF2 laid down and hoped to get two hours worth of sleep...usually I get to bed late and Cheeky is up and bouncing off the walls around five or six with me grumbling a mile a minute... no one should be that happy first thing out of bed. But at Chicago, just laid there finally got up, dressed and wandered around the hotel, both Cheeks and Aurore whispering at me..."What the hell are you doing?" I think the only night I actually managed a few hours was after Pete's grogtinis... more like passed out instead of falling asleep... :o I think I'm like Merrydeath... you get to a point and think why bother going to bed at all and you just start all over again with a quick shower and a change of clothes.

That's what kept me awake. My mind simply wouldn't shut off at night.

That's exactly why I don't sleep. I can't get my mind to shut off. The problem is I have my best ideas at night while trying to fall asleep. It's when I do all my writing. I usually lay there thinking out the words in my head & seeing the story as if it were a movie until it's "perfect" before committing anything to the computer. I'd shut my brain off and get more sleep, but I don't want to loose that creative side that comes out at that time either.

Eh, what are you going to do, except sneak in a nap in the afternoon when you can :)

Hmmm all I can think of here is lots of bags or circles under the eyes....not good!

More and more articles and news subjects prove you need your sleep and also during normal sleep time which is night. Your body during these sleeping hours does most of the repair jobs. I know some people work nights and that must be a tough one on the ole bod.

When you work shifts, you learn to nap, your whole body clock changes.

Dinner at 2AM, sleep at 7am till about 11, sleep again at 6pm to 7:45 and off to work at 8:15pm. But driving home East as the sun rises is not only beautiful, it wakes you naturally.

Get to work on a Tues, leave Wed morning and go back Wed night.

Um...what day is it?

But thats only once a month. Otherwise 2 - 10 or 6 - 2

I spent a lot of years on the overnight shift. We worked 12's. 8 PM to 8 AM. Three on four off; four on three off and so on. I worked Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and every other Saturday.

Get up about 6 PM for breakfast. Lunch around 1 AM. Have a bit of a snack around 5 AM. In the showers at 7:30 AM. On the road home by 8 AM. Dinner around 9 AM in the sack by noon. Back at it at 6.

Now it's 24 hour shifts. 24 on 72 off.

shivers.. I'm glad its only 9 hours with a split shift. I can't imagine 24 hours days.. what if you have a cold or in your case, a shoulder hanging by a thread?

I'll add healing thoughts to everyone.. and a little bit of lavendar.

:P Nope I still swear. I'm not an insomniac. This week I'm blaming my lack of sleep on this cough. I really did try to sleep last night & the blasted thing kept waking me up every hour. The couple of weeks before that I had too much sewing to do & needed the extra time, before that, well I had a good excuse.

See, it's all about having a *reason* to be up. ;)

Truly it is the books that do it... one more page, just one more page... or really, really bad tv programs where you can't turn it off because you just have to see if it stays as bad or has some redeeming value at the end! :D
