But it sounds like I am not alone. I really don't mind just for myself to keep the strange hours. But it's not as ideal for the rest of my family. My dh is pretty patient with me and tries to understand.

I think it is true that it is so quiet at night and once my eyes go shut, my body starts screaming at me about all it's complaints!

I get up from bed to do the stretching exercises. It is a very temporary relief, until I lie back down. Then doesn't take long for my muscles to go stir crazy again.

I'm sure since I am up moving around in the day, I just don't notice things so much.

I guess I just wish I could know if I should keep trying to fight it and try to get on the same schedule as my family... although I have tried, but to no avail.

Thanks.
