i slept hardly a wink last night, set the alarm for 5am, plenty of time to leisurely gt ready for work at 6.30 or SO I THOUGHT! Apparently, daylight saving started last night, so it was actually 6am and I had to break the speed limit to get to work only 10 minutes late...needless to say, I'm shattered now but have to write some articles...deadline looming tomorrow.YAAAWWWN

We had an extra hour in bed last night so I didn't really miss the hour I sat up on mudcat in the middle of the night... I saw some times twice....

I was surrounded by people chatting, drinking and swapping songs, so having the extra hour was fantastic!

Of course, Sunday afternoon was spent asleep on the sofa and now I've been up for an hour on Monday morning (ir's 6.00am UK time, and I don't even need to go to work today!

Typical!

My doc recently switched me fromtrazodone to rozerem for insomnia. I was a wreck for weeks; I may be one of those 1% for whom rozerem does not work.

But the trazodone was partly responsible for making me fat,and I am sick of being fat. Dropping weight like crazy not that I'm off it.

Now if I could just sleep through the night ...

I've been up since 1:00 AM last night. I'm not having trouble sleeping - it's my son Brendan. I don't know if it's his teeth or what that's bothering him since he isn't talking. All I can say is thank God for coffee.

The insomnia bug has been biting pretty hard recently. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to get up in the morning. Several nights in a row of being up until 1:00 or 3:00 and having to get up at 6:00 really take their toll as I get older.

Maybe this little whine is what I needed to get to sleep. Gonna go try again now.

Nightnight. (I hope.)

I'm a somniac, I rarely have trouble dropping off. If it wasn't for the bloody cat I'd get eight hours every night, but he always wants to go out at 4am, and THEN I have trouble going to sleep again.

It is 8.18 pm here in Auckland NZ. The clock starts off our east coast, 12 (or 11, or 13, depending on summer saving times) before Greenwich.

Given that I have been prone to somnambulism, decided I better check my post history to see if I have been catting in my sleep. I don't remember a lot of the posts, but just might be age.

WTF am I doing up at this ungodly hour?!? (3:10 a.m. New Hampshuh time.) Tom's sleeping quietly -- I've been awake since around 1 when I got up for a pee and been awake since. Came to grips with the fact that I'm probably not going to work today so got up to make baking powder biscuits to settle my tum.

Thursday nights are often problematic (but not THIS problematic!) because I don't get home from work until around 9 p.m. and then have to quickly slow down enough to sleep not long after I get home to be up at 6 a.m. to return to work. (Ain't retail grand?)

Hope I'm not getting what the store manager of the other US Vision optical shop in the mall (different host store) has -- I relieved her on Tuesday so she could go home sick. (She looked as bad as she said she felt.) We're short handed this weekend and Sunday (when I work alone) is not only the start of our semi-annual contact lens stock-up sale, but our host store's "Friends & Family" sale.

Sigh.

The biscuits are good...

My sleep patterns have been broken for some time now and it is not unusual for me to be on the confuser at 4 am, or in the garage working on the antique car at that hour.

Today, I am restless because I have this biopsy to wonder about, plus, I just found out yesterday that my kid brother has been seduced by Fox noise. He thinks it's a news outlet!

For sixty years I have averaged about four hours sleep per night, and I've simply gone along with that.

When I was young (yes, I was once) I used to sit up until 2.00am working on the most intricate and difficult parts of my model ships. The rigging etc.

Now I do the editing of photos and music till the same hour, with regular forays into Mudcat.

When I go to bed, I'm asleep in seconds, and dead to the world until 6.00am, when I wake, and then drift in and out until my wife wakes, about seven. Then we both get up and attack the day.

With that level of sleep you don't have time for insomnia.

well, for about three weeks it's been back again. Just seems to come in and visit.

I've been taking valerian, which is pretty good, but its not working tonight.

There's nothing I'm worried about, no clear reason. Just something in my brain stays awake.

Anyway, it's a beautiful night here in Sydney, I spent a lovely afternoon with my grandaughter in the Botanic gardens. we saw ducks, bats, eels, waterlilies, and looking at the harbour, a tall boat with sails.

I'm going to put that hypnotic tape on again!

gnite all (hopefully :-) )

Nobody awake around here but me and a desperate bachelor mockingbird I can hear singing from a streetlight pole a couple of blocks to the northwest.

He has been at it for about 3 weeks now. Glad he is not on the post across from my driveway....I'd hate to have to shoot him:-)

"desperate bachelor mockingbird I can hear singing" - around here (West County Clare, Ireland) it's cuckoos, but they don't worry me, it's so lovely to hear a rapidly disappearing part of biodiversity (mostly due to rapidly changed farming practices, I understand)!

It's been awhile since I couldn't get to sleep at all. I'm just now where I I think I can probably lie down and sleep but need to be up and about by 7:00. Wondering if I should just stay up and hope I don't crash before noon.

Hi night owls - though it's actually 1.15pm here and I'm watching Heartbeat (so it might as well be the middle of the night!)
I'm usually on post midnight GMT looking for an interesting thread, but an awful lot of these merchants seem to take everything (including themselves) very seriously.
I also have no job to go to, and am fairly well housebound now, so I'll probably check youse out in about 12 hours time.

Well, if no-one is there, I think I'll have a leisurely ramble for a while. Thanks for your mail, Maeve - I never got to sleep after all.
I'm now watching Omid Djalili on't telly, and about to start today's times crossword which I've been saving. I just put a grocery - well, ok,drink, order to tescos and the buggers can't deliver for a week. I'll have to call in a favour if I want to spend yuletide in a semi-comatose state (and I do).
I hope when some of you reprobates (just a guess) join in, someone can think of some nice eclectic, amusing topics to chaw on.
Crossword, here I come.

Nope. But 12:30 am eastern time ain't quite late enough for me to say I got them old insomnia blues.

(If I went to bed now, which I might do soon, I would actually fall right to sleep. That ain't insomnia. That is burning the candle at both ends.;^)

Hey Kendall. Here is a true tale that may amuse you. Several years ago I worked in a cigar shop. One night two young men with very short haircuts came in. "Where can we find some fuckin' pussy?" One asked."I fuckin' need to get laid." Said another. I told those charming jarheads where to go without batting an eyelid. "You guys should go to The Underground, all kinds of hot chicks there." Of course,what I didn't tell them was that The Underground was the gayest bar in town. They didn't come back to the shop and kill me,so I like to think they discovered their feminine side.

Hi J boy. I think those Mormons haven't half changed since my day.
You could always have sent them to a pet shop, but that way they might have come back and killed you - unless of course they saw the light at the Underground.
I'll try again about midnight, or about 7 pm in Mudcat years!
And Kendall, if you're still standing, I presume you have a good supply of Gentleman's Literature - I usually make do with a nice cuppa and a sausage roll.
