Bed time

Fascinates me at the time of some of the posts on the site The number of late night posts. I'm a morning person and 11:00pm is late for me but I wake before six even on my days off[about 6hrs sleep] What are other peoples sleep/awake habits? and I can understand people being on shift work and posting at night while bored at work but some others must be insomniacs

Usually midnight is my bedtime for workday. Weekends it all depends on who has to get up with the kids the next morning.

head to bed about 9 ish during the week to chat on phone to bf

up at 6 to clean the bank, back to get kids up for school, breakfast, shower and off to work. running kids back and forward to various activities between 4 and 8 most nights.

not a morning person, cant be bothered speaking to anyone, but i make up for it during the day i just need a lot of sleep.

Insomnia is the worst part of my depression tbh.

Because even when I finally get to sleep I dont sleep properly.

And its quite common for it to be a 4am/5am fall asleep time. Ive got tablets atm but even they arent working properly.

Id gone about 3 weeks without sleeping properly last month - and its pretty bloody obvious when you go back and look at my posts that it was taking its toll. Id lost any ability to think properly, reason well, and developed an extremely good knack for upsetting people and lost my normal ability not to take anything on an internet site seriously.

I really hate it when it happens.

Me I'm an early bird up at 5 bed by 9ish most nights due to Falcs shifts

10:30-11:00pm during the week as I like to be in work by 8:00am - flexitime is a wonderful thing

TBH, not much later at weekends coz I'm usually comatose on red wine by the time MOTD comes on in the winter, and because, during the summer, I like to go for Sunday early-morning blast on the bike before other commitments during the day.

I sympathise, I know exactly how insommnia feels. I have to work until either 8pm or 10pm most evenings, and get up at 4:30 am the rest, plus I'm on call two in eight all night. Add to that occasional night work... try fitting a normal lifestyle around that, its impossible.
All the time I'm at work I'm pin sharp, most of my free time I'm like a sack of ****! - feels like your heads full of cotton wool all the time. I too have pills, but I try to avoid using them. Having next to no social life I decided some time ago to quit, but I'm going to have to wait another 4 or 5 years in order to boost my pension as best as I can. Then I shall probably sleep for a year and a day
