insomniacs or Night owls

[grayghost668]

I have been on here at just about any time of day you wish to name and there is always someone here,,,my problem is,,it does not matter what the time is I will wake up and that is that wide awake for at least 3 hours,,,I can sleep 20 minutes or 8 hours,,,,when the light comes on I am up,,,period,,,,,


what is your story

Same here. I wake up, I'm up. My wife wakes up 3 times at night to go pee, and is asleep in 30 seconds!

it's nice to know I am not the only one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[jontte]

really don't know, prolly towards insomnia in my case...

but, what I've learnt in my days of health care, do some night shifts and I have absoluetly no filter left what I might say when the morning shift comes,can be like an old sailor on port leave...

Once I wake up and walk a few paces, I'm up for good. If I lie back down, RARELY can I go back to sleep. Been like that all my life. On the up side of that, I function just fine on 4 hours of sleep and rarely do I awaken before the 4 hour mark, for ANY reason. Truth be know, however, my body prefers a sleep cycle of 6-7 hours when it is not impeded by a full bladder or some bizarre loud noise in/around the house.

I am a night owl. I go to bed at 2 a.m. and will sleep 8 to 10 hours. After a early morning trip to the bathroom, I can fall back asleep in seconds. Almost all of my life I worked day shift but preferred the midnight (12 a.m. to 8 a.m.) sift when I could get it.

I go to bed early listening to talk radio. And usually get up between 4 and 5 a.m. I do have to get up and pee but go right back to sleep.

I hate when the time changes in winter. I'm ready for bed by 6 p.m. I put the chickens to bed and I'm done. I don't go to bed at 6, but I'm ready.

I'm definitely a night owl type and often have trouble getting to sleep. But then I always have trouble waking up. The snooze button is my best friend.

(1) Half hour nap after work
(2) Awake until midnight
(3) Wake up at 6:00 AM
(4) Go back to #1. Repeat.

wife and I are Larks/early birds, early to bed, early to rise.
early morning is the best part of the day before all the plebs wake up and have to commute to work.

 

[BucketBack]

I've been up since 1am

 

[lonewolf]

Why?

 

[tmttactical]

It is now 1:40 a.m. and I am getting ready for bed. This is my normal time. I am the night owl and the wife is the early bird. Not much time we don't have the duty watch covered. LOL
