To the insomniacs and night owls...

[Enid]

I'm surprised by how many people stay up through out the whole night just to doss around on the computer. I'm exactly the same. How late/early do you stay awake till (if you go to sleep at all!) and around what time do you wake up? Lately I've been awake till about 4am and getting up at noon. It's so hard to break this habit and I even pulled an all-nighter a couple of days ago, was the hardest thing ever, and it didn't solve anything!

Have been terrible lately. Sorted it out a bit when I went to stay with my dad but as soon as I got back home my bodyclock is all fecked again.

Most nights up until around 4am or later, then awake by about 11. If I could I'd sleep in later but I've got to see some daylight at least!

Am going to HAVE to sort it out over the next week or so. Have always been a terrible insomniac though!

[InOne]

Well I was going to bed about 4 or 5ish and getting up at 11, yday had 12 hours sleep though. And i'm drinking so gonna be a late for me

[Princess]

It depends. Sometimes its 1-10,sometimes it can be 4-12/1 but then really bad it can be 6/7-3/4. I try not to let it get too bad. I'm about 6-3 at the moment,which is bad.... I blame Christmas.

[Jords]

I got in this bad habit too Enid. Was going to bed 4-6am and waking up at 2-4pm. My first attempt of an all nighter failed and I went to sleep at 10am and woke up at 6pm. But 2 days ago I did a succesful all nighter, went to bed at 1am and woke up at 8am, and tonight I have ruined it because of CBB live and chatting on here. Got school on Tuesday, could be tired that day!

[MissKittyFantastico]

I always used to think that pulling an allnighter and going to bed early the following night would break the habit too but I'd just go past the point of being tired, or else fall asleep on the sofa mid afternoon and then not be tired when I should be going to bed lol.

Vicious cycle!

[Enid]

Maybe those of us who have trouble getting a normal night's sleep are just naturally nocturnal. I've tried many times to adjust my body clock but I just end up back down the same road!

[Jords]

I do think some things are much more interesting at night time!

[Vicky.]

I normally go to sleep around 6am and get up around 1/2pm.

Am always pulling all nighters to try and sort myself out but after a day or two am back to the same thing.

Totally! People always think I never sleep and its like 'No I just don't sleep when you do,I sleep just fine,thanks'.

Bit of nostaglia :p It's from OK!

[InOne]

Where the night olws at?

[zotler.]

I function better with less sleep. It's the weirdest thing ever, but it's true, so I tend not to goto bed till 5am and usually force myself to get up after about 5 or 6 hours, if I let my self sleep for a long while I won't get up properly, lol.

[Jords]

I think this Facebook group applys: http://www.facebook.com/#/pages/My-sleeping-pattern-is-fcked/106700774260?ref=nf :joker:

[eye sea]

I wake up about six to ten times per night but manage to get back to sleep. But there are times when I am awake from about 1am to about 5am.

[King Gizzard]

normally either 4 5 or 6am

[Tom4784]

I usually stay up till around 3-5AM and wake up around 10AM. I dislike sleeping for long ammounts of time so ussually I only have a lie in around once a week to catch up on the hours.

[Brad.]

In school hols i'm up until 4am-7am and wake up around mid-day

[Patrick]

Bed at 5
Gettin up at 1 today

On Wednesday it was like..
Bed at 5
Getting up at 4


Hate it, wastes have of the bloody day.

[Beastie]

I have to wake up at 4am for work!!!!! I have to take 6 days off before end of January so I think after this week I am only working 3 days a week for the rest of the month :D

[Beastie]

Thank God some day time live feed is back :D

[Z]

I didn't fall asleep until half 8 this morning, and then my Dad came into my room and gave me pills for my cough/sneezing at half 9, then I fell asleep again and woke up at quarter to 4... ugh. I hate this habit. I've got some Night Nurse (or is it Nite? Whatever.) to take tonight, hopefully that'll send me to sleep early! I blame going into town (i.e. not getting home until 3-4) and being on here :P

[Stu]

I have restless leg syndrome and in general a restless mind so the only chance I have of getting a natural sleep within ten minuets of getting into bed before about 4 is to smoke weed.

I gave up trying to control anything a long time ago and I don't really have sleep patterns as such now. I just fall asleep when I feel like it and then wake up.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I go to bed around 10.30, read for half an hour (unless I have been drinking when i read for 2 minutes) and wake at around 6.30 to 7 - 7 days a week.

[Enid]

You are lucky LT. I wish I could maintain that sort of routine.

Unfortunately, I can only go to bed when I'm tired, I can't force myself to sleep. And when I am tired it takes me at least an hour to drop off because I'm tossing and turning all the place and my mind is still very much active. I do most of my thinking in bed..

exercise is the key and routine. When i drink though i have fitfull sleeps.

getting up early is also good and i never drink caffeine past lunchtime or chocolate.

[Enid]

I admit, I don't get nearly enough exercise. I live off caffeine though, lol.

Ahh my life is fecked up. :P

if you stop the caffeine after say 4 pm your ability to sleep will improve, and no chocolate or smoking etc. It is not rocket science. cut out the stimulants and your brain will allow you to sleep earlier and better.

[Enid]

That's easy to say, I've been drinking tea since I was a kid. Cutting it out just a tiny bit would destroy me. :P

[Stephanie]

normally if i stay up till like 4/5am (which i usually do) i end up waking up at 6/7pm rofl

[Enid]

Yeah the other night I slept for about 12 hours. Felt **** when I woke up.

[InOne]

Went to bed at half 6 got up at 1

[Stephanie]

i always feel so sick when i wake up, and waking up and looking out of the window and it being pitch black makes me feel depressed lmfao.

[Enid]

Do you not have school Steph?

[MrGaryy]

I know that feeling steph there's nothing worse than knowing you've just slept through day light.

[Marc]

I'm pretty good with my sleep! I wake up early on purpose as to not stay up stupidly late and waste half my day (cause I would wake up at noon time). I have work to do! Only at uni though hehe

[Lewis.]

On school nights I tend to go to bed at about 10.. maybe spend an hour on the laptop and then read for about 30 mins and go to sleep at about 12.. then get up at 6am.

In the holidays I throw sleeping patterns out of the window.. I've been really bad this christmas.. going to bed at like.. 5am and getting up at about 3pm. Its annoying knowing you've wasted the whole morning.. and time goes so fast when you're online at like 2am.. one minute it is 2am.. then next it is half 4am

[Marc]

Enid do you have many friends who stay up all night as well as you??

[Enid]

Enid do you have many friends who stay up all night as well as you??
Uhh not really. I live with my boyfriend though and he's exactly the same, lol.

[Wildcat!]

For me it depends on what Im doing. Right now, I am writing my thesis, so I dont have to go to Uni at 8am everyday, and I've only got to watch the computer LAB at my school, after 3pm. So at this point, I stay up pretty late, till about 4. and I wake up around 11.

But normally, I tay up late whenever I dont have to do something in the morning. Its just nice to be up when everyone else is asleep. Something strange about that. I think 20% of people are like that. :)

[Marc]

Uhh not really. I live with my boyfriend though and he's exactly the same, lol.

Well thats fine then! Have you ever tried doing stuff to make yourself sleepy? :tongue: hehehe

I'm the same,I can't sleep if I'm not really tired first. I don't drink caffeine though,I'll be quite scared of myself on it :laugh:

[Jessica.]

I might do my first TiBB all nighter tomorrow night :laugh2:

[Gemmer-x]

over christmas i'v had loaaaaads of sleep it's been amazing. I'v been going to bed about 11 and getting up at 9 :)
but usually, i'm up at all hours, being a tennis geek. Like this month i'l be up at all hours following the action in Oz. So take tomorrow, i'l go to bed about 10pm, be up at 3am, then up all weds day,sleep properly weds night, then thurs will be hetic again. yaaaawn. i do this, then i realise i could just sleep normally and watch the highlights, but it's not the same :D
