Work

Since I started working I had to invariably get up at 6am and be at work by 8am although I rarely fall asleep before 3.30am. The Beau always wonders how I manage to function (hint: I don't really ... I just stumble through my day

I crawl into bed around 2 am most nights, and wake with the sun. Sometimes I crash again around 3pm for an hour or so. I'm a night owl AND an insomniac.

My favorite job was delivering newspapers. It didn't pay enough, which was why I eventually had to give it up - but I loved the hours! I left for work at 2am, made my deliveries, and returned home around 7am to fall into bed. Staying up all night was fabulous, I love the peace and quiet, the perfect stillness that's so hard to find anymore. And I got to see the most gorgeous sunrises on my way home every morning. :)

I was considering taking on this job! But alas, the payment is too bad! I would have loved the hours too!

Ah, have to be careful with this. If I take that afternoon nap, I can't fall asleep before 4am ...

Bed at 2-3 am, up at 11 am. Nap at 5pm. If pushed I can do bed at 1am and up at 9am. My awake time is from 7-2am, with the peak being 11pm-1am. If anyone needs me in the morning, it is best not to have anything important to say to me. Or in the early afternoon.

I need about 9 hours to function, but that I mostly the arthritis speaking. I used to need 7-8.

Night owls unite! I know the feeling though of not wanting to break one's routine for something as annoying as a contract job.. I mean... gyah!

Oh sucky :\ I have it everywhere, but hands are really annoying.. surprisingly you use them all the time! :P

10 hours. Never get them. Always tired.

TEN hours!!!

Oh my poor darl!

*pets you*

I can only sleep ten hours if I drink at least a bottle of wine and some vodkas the night before, but even then I am more likely to get up around 9-10am, when I hear the sound of cars, bikes, etc., from the street.
