Hi all, hope we are all well?
I'm trying to unwind after a long day of case studies... only 3 more weeks and counting.
It's Sunday! Often my only day off, in fact I had two consecutive months earlier this year where I was working Sundays too!
Being my "lazy day", I got up late so I'm not that tired (and I have a late start tomorrow), therefore I'm up late.
Many years ago, I suffered with insomnia. Rather than fixing it, I learned to embrace it, which was very useful in my career at the time where I often had to be up between 4 and 6am (I had one day where I got up at 2:30am and didn't get back home until 2am the following morning!). Nowadays, I'm fine with about 4-6 hours sleep per night, as long as I get my lie in once per week!
You lucky thing having a lie in... I had to be up at 6:30 am to wait for my new fridge to be delivered. Like you I embrace insomnia rather than stressing over trying to get to sleep. I'd not be able to get ready for work at 2:30, I don't start chilling out until then.
LOL, OK 6:30 is not normally a problem for me but on a Sunday?!!!
Then again, although I don't have any at the moment, if I was expecting an early delivery like that at the weekend then I would have trusted my dogs to wake me up if someone was at the door! Definitely a man's best friend!
A man's best friend IF they listen. I love dogs, but found out last year I'm not cut out to be a dog owner. I have two cats, and they would probably sit on the windowsill licking themselves watching the humans with an air of arrogance.
I best get to bed as I do have to be up early, Good night Bannick.
I know what you mean about cats. My one surviving pet at the moment is a cat (we're on a dog and reptile break at the moment) and the most she would do is sit on the window ledge and stare at the humans with that all so familiar air of arrogance!
'night Hippy
(I'll be up until 2:25 as I'm watching a movie that doesn't end until then).
Hello, I'm here too!
I have all sorts of problems with unstable moods (bipolar) and I'm really at the mercy of when my body wants to let me go to bed - or not. It's not insomnia... it's an inability to go to bed, rather than inability to sleep. Once every few weeks I'll have a day when I don't go to be at all. It feels like a form of teenage rebellion, if I'm honest. Tonight feels like one of those nights. I get quite used to it and can be productive right through until about 11am - then I flag, have a nap for 30mins or so - then I'll be OK until 9pm.
Right now I'm doing some reading on Chinese Medical Theory, and finishing an assignment. I've been meaning to have another go at EFT and so I'll be looking over the manual again. Oh, and sending some distance healing for Reiki... as I was re-attuned last weekend.
So, it's a bit of a complementary medicine themed all-nighter!
