Els Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I thought I'd gotten my sleep habits kinda settled the past few weeks. Sleep at 3-4am, wake at 11am or so (I'm doing research now so there aren't any formal classes). Then huge disagreement with LDR bf. Bam. Stayed up til 7am that day watching the phone. That was a few days ago. I kept trying to sleep earlier everyday but it ended up being LATER. Yesterday I slept at 8am and woke at 5pm. Now it's 8.30 am AND I AM NOT SLEEPY. Oh dear. There's no formal class but I'd like to have some form of social life and activity. I've a training session for a college tournament at 1pm. I am so screwed. Why does this happen all the time??? Why can't I just readjust my schedule properly whenever anything crops up?
Chubbi Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I'm wondering the same thing. You know when I get up? 2 or 3pm. I'm going to have to stop this when I go to school in September.
hoping2heal Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I hear you there! I'm trying to get on a more regular schedule also. It hasn't interfered with my work, or excersizing. In fact I've almost been more productive, but for whatever reason I LOVE being awake at night and would rather put my 8 hours of zzzz's in during the day.
RA1 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 I sympathize. I think some of us are nocturnal creatures. I believe I am. When I don't have to conform to normal business hours, my pattern slips into working all night and sleeping during daylight hours. I don't worry about it too much provided I make my scheduled meetings, which I invariably do. I've come over the years to accept that I'm just different to most people. I'm writing this at 7:30 AM my local time having been working all night. I would like to go to bed soon but just don't feel sleepy yet. I will probably end up sleeping late morning/early afternoon today. I am lucky in that I work from home and my clients are all over the world so it tends not to be too much of a problem for me. Often it's an advantage because I'm awake at the same time as my clients in Europe or Asia or Australia! If you are functioning business-wise with your sleep patterns, I suggest not to worry about it. Relationship-wise, I would expect anyone that cares for you to tolerate the difference! I've had relationships where my sleep patterns were a problem but as I get older I feel less and less apologetic for being the way I am. So, I would suggest, accept that you are different to most people and don't feel guilty about it.
Odyssey Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I'm having the same problem now, especially being unemployed i don't have a routine anymore and developing bad sleeping habits... not good hitting the covers at 2am & getting up at 11pm (kinda embarrassing actually). Mmm... i better sign off, it's 1.17am here Night, night...
