Is anyone else losing track of days and not sleeping worth a fuck while on holiday

Is anyone else losing track of days and not sleeping worth a fuck while on holiday

 

I lose track of days during Christmas holidays, but in large part this is due to sleeping often, long, deep and well.

 

Sleeping is one of the few things I am good at, many people seem to lose the knack with age. I am known as an "accomplished sleeper" among family and friends. Some of them pretend to be disgusted with my ability to sleep for ages, but I know its really just because they are unhappy with their own sleeps.

That was only a neutral observation from Bluto, to contextualise his latter statement about not complaining!

thatcher had it right like; and nae just in the swatting away of annoyances like unions and the argies.

running this great country on a paltry 4 hours a night; thast some going and would take its toll on lesser mmen than her.

Been sleeping 9-11 hours every night, needed it big style. Usually get 6-7 hours when working, and catch up at the weekend.

Defo! My body clocks been wrong this last fortnight!

[caledonia]

same here but it has just not been drink even when sober

[Jigot]

Every other day last week felt like a Saturday what with going to all the fitba or lying on ma ribs watching coupons go tits up. As for sleeping, I have the most physical job in the building game, without a shadow of a doubt, and when I haven't been working I always have more trouble than usual getting my 5-6 hrs. I'll be off the drink again come Sunday so that'll help, but by fuck I've got a few to go through before then.

Vallies = nap

I never slept at all on Tuesday night but rattled 10 hours out me last night.

[beef_sister]

I'll sleep on average about 10/11 hrs every night when im home from offshore. when im away i'll get by on about 7 no problem but within a week of comgn home im back into the routine of 10/11hrs per night. Is this just because im a lazy cunt because it's pretty obvious i dont need that amount per night.

[E-P-K]

Last 5 or 6 nights my sleep pattern has been abso fucked up, wakening up every 30-45 minutes, all night. then I go for a piss regardless if I am needing.

 

Never an issue when on the booze, yet when you go all detox, healthy and exercise daily, it goes to fuk.

 

The melatonin will be getting double dunted tonight

[spamspamspam]

sleeping pattern is all to fuck atm from battering it big time for 2 weeks over xmas and ny

 

starting to get it back now, another week or so and I'll be back to normal, hopefully. Getting up in the mornings is a killer.

My sleep isn't great, trying to get between 7-9 hours a night and replacing a training session with a 90minute nap, this is the first week I've tried it but sadly my nap turned in to a 3 hour sleep so it fucked up my proper sleep lastnight.

[Henry]

Is 90 minutes a nap these days?

You are supposedly meant to sleep in cycles of 90 minutes.

It gives the full benefits of a proper sleep, helping you to waken up and not feel like you have a hangover.

How did you feel after you woke from the 3 hour nap ?

 

 

As for my double dunting the 2 x 10mg Melatonin last night, waste of time, other than filling my head with lucid mental thoughts as I tried to get to sleep.

[Dynamo]

Another solid 9 hours last night. The usual 11-8 over winter.

 

I shorten my sleep over the summer. Much easier to get up when it's light.

Meh, this is the kind of petty "sleep jealousy" which I decried in my earlier post

I felt brilliant but it hit me later on when i went to bed at 11 and never fell asleep until after 12 but I now know it's a 90mins max nap.

 

My dreams have been unreal of late, from staying at the place where the BDO darts is on and sharpening pencils to getting chased around Laurencekirk after getting stuck with the supporters bus on the way back from a game, makes you wonder really.

In 2001, he [historian Roger Ekirch of Virginia Tech] published a groundbreaking paper based on 16 years of research, which revealed something quite amazing: humans did not evolve to sleep through the night in one solid chunk. Until very recently, they slept in two stages. Shazam.

 

In his book At Day’s Close: Night in Times Past, Ekrich presents over 500 references to these two distinct sleep periods, known as the “first sleep” and the “second sleep,” culled from diaries, court records, medical manuals, anthropological studies, and literature, including The Odyssey. Like an astrolabe pointing to some forgotten star, these accounts referenced a first sleep that began two hours after dusk, followed by waking period of one or two hours and then a second sleep.

 

This waking period, known in some cultures as the “watch,” was filled with everything from bringing in the animals to prayer. Some folks visited neighbors. Others smoked a pipe or analyzed their dreams. Often they lounged in bed to read, chat with bedfellows, or have much more refreshing sex than we modern humans have at bedtime. A 16th-century doctor’s manual prescribed sex after the first sleep as the most enjoyable variety.

I tried this but my hands kept falling off the handlebars.

Sleep is fickle. When I'm experiencing creative bursts of genius, I can't sleep. It gets in the way. The inspiration won't allow it.

 

Most of the year however, I can sleep for Scotland and I very rarely see dawns.

No bad.
