it isn't a phobia or anything. i just like the night. i have rolled over into night-owl hours again, and as usual it is really hard for me to roll back (or forward) ... because i *LIKE* being up at night. it's all peaceful and quiet and stuff.

problem is, then, in the day, it's all noisy (arghhh!) so my sleep quality is compromised.

also problematic when i think in terms of going back to work. sigh. ridiculous really.

it is 3.40 am right now. i'm not sleepy, but i'm probably relaxed enough i *COULD* sleep, if i just turned of the lights and tucked in. i am going to try to force myself. i have been putting it off since 2am, half hour by half hour! same thing last night even though i was a MESS with the headache (using different med tonight).the night before i was sick so doesn't count. but the nights before that... same deal... sigh.

mostly i just keep playing stupid games on the computer. not even really enjoying it. but if i work on my project i would probably have a hard time putting it down before 6 am and even if i did, i might then be too alert to sleep.

ok well here goes nothing.
i WILLLLLL shut down the computer.
i WILLLLLL turn of the lights.
i WILLLLLL SLEEP! NOW! before the birds start going and dawn breaks, sigh.

morning has broken... like the first morning... blackbird has spoken... like the first bird...

Dear Waves,
It's hard to get sleep back on track.
You can do it. If you missed your "deadline" for lights out this time, you can try again the next night.

i love cat stevens...please try not to get in the habit of staying up most of the night.....it is awful.............
love

Just wanted to let you know that I do not sleep either. I am usually up around 3:30 or 4:30 if you ever just wanted to talk instead of playing computer games.

thanks... yeahhh, sigh. ended up going to bed at 5.30 - which is half an hour EARLIER than the previous night! but i gotta be up by 8 am tomorrow no matter what! our heating system died this morning... tech is coming. sigh. and not at a specific time either - he is going to squeeze us in "some time before noon." ARGHH. dontcha *hate* that???

too late for that! i have always been night owl. i periodically reset to daytime (usually incidental, after a period of sleeping all over the map due to social inconveniences). but my waking hours then always creep forward so i'm up later and later at night... and i prefer that. but it isn't "acceptable" socially and sleeping in the daytime in this house is... well, uncomfortable. sigh. i hope you are getting more sleep, Bobby.

Thanks collinsc! i'll keep that in mind. i'm sorry you don't sleep! Do you get sleep during the day... or not at all???

I get to sleep once in awhile during the day, but mostly not at all. It is alright for me I guess, I don't really require much sleep.

collinsc

finally going to bed. (a half hour earlier than yesterday, again)

BUT, i gotta be up at 8 am - that's in 3 hours. :

i hope the tech comes early so i can catch another catnap in the morning.

I also like being up from 12 AM to 4 AM. I'm not sure what this is. BF
