My sleep patterns are all over the place.

I usually go to bed anywhere from 9 PM to 11 PM. My body must think it's "nap" time because I sleep about two hours then wake up.

At that point I'm up anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Back to bed for another couple of hours...if I'm lucky it's three.

Up at around 5:30 AM because DS gets up to go to work and the notion of "being quiet" is apparently not in a young man's vocabulary no matter how hard they try.

I go back to bed about 6:30 - 7:00 AM and usually sleep pretty well for about 3 hours. So...I get my 6-8 hours but not all in one stretch. I wish I could but not sure how my body would react to such a long period of sleep.

I've been this way a long time. Ever since my first son was born 27 years ago. I've never been one to need a whole lot of sleep.

I do take LDN anywhere from 1 AM to 3 AM and have found that when I forget to take it (which is not very often but I have done it) I sleep better.

Me too, on the sleep pattern, Kelly, but only since MS took over, in the last 15+ years. I used to sleep like a baby.

I've only used LDN for the last 7+ yrs and will not ever stop using.....even if I'm up all night..

I'll bet Lady feels the same.

Oh, you bet I'll never stop using LDN!

I'm not too concerned with my sleep pattern because I can always take a nap during the day if I need to. Or sleep as late as I want to. Strange thing is, though, I usually don't need a nap during the day.

When we change our clocks in November and it gets dark earlier I tend to get sleepy earlier.

LDN has helped my MS sx so profoundly that I'm like you, Sally, I could be up all night and I wouldn't care! I'll sleep when I get sleepy!
