Insomnia

Fish said:
I went to bed at 8.30 last night with the idea to watch some telly as I was already nodding in the chair, I was straight out as soon as I hit the pillow so 6hrs sleep is about my average, now my bodyclock is shot to pieces :mad:

have you not tried staying up later? get up, walk the dog, read a book, write a blog? this can't be good for you! I was up at 4 this morning, but that was due to my stupid alarm clock and a pre 7AM flight from Heathrow!

I go through it then and don't feel tired until the early hours, sitting up too late and even falling asleep on the settee, I put yesterday down to 4 rounds on the bounce in sweltering heat and it just caught up with me, I'll have a nap this afternoon and try to restore my body clock.

Good luck with that Robin!! My body clock has been out for years.....:mad:

I'm sure a lot of it is to do with coming on the PC.
I used to do a lot of my "surfing" in the evenings, but it got me grief with the Missus.
Packed that up, (I very rarely come on the PC in the evenings now) preferring to get up early while she is asleep.
If we go away anywhere staying with friends or on holiday that sort of thing, I do tend to get up a bit later than usual, because I know that I can't get on a computer.
 
Only seen the posts the last couple of pages, so apologies if they are completely unrepresentative...

6 hours sleep on an insomnia thread! You should be ashamed of yourself. A couple of nights with none at all should be the minimum requirement....;)

On a more serious note, a lot of Robin's remarks here seem to run counter to the insomnia cures 101 advice, namely :

If possible (shifts muck this up) go to bed at the same time every night.
No Caffeine/alcohol within 4 hours
No napping during the day
No TV/screens in the bedroom
No screens within a couple of hours of bed

Of course, if it were that easy, no-one would ever suffer from it, but it's surprising how many small changes in lifestyle can make a difference (good and bad).

A 13+ hour day yesterday, in at 8pm so ate late, in bed at 10pm, off like a light, woke up head swimming with everything I've got to do today with an early start down to Harpenden at 05.30, then got to be in Nottingham for 10-10.30 then into Birmingham, will get back around 2pm hopefully and switch off, as long as my phone stops ringing :mad:

You'll be good for the first couple, then the fatigue & tiredness will kick-in, get the contribution in early :smirk:

Just about to have my 2nd cuppa.
Shave and shower, couple of Ibuprofen, press my trousers and shirt (still can't decide whether to go as Jason Day round 1 or 2).
Shoes cleaned, watch charged, as is GoKart.
What could possibly go wrong........
