pesky1972 5,634 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 (edited) 08.00 Day off today and so jumped on here to catch up and noticed the usual suspects bickering hasn’t kicked off yet. Maybe they’re all still in bed, whilst the rest of THL get stuck into a bit of graft to keep the nation’s neck above the water? Anyway, as a younger man like most I burned the candle at both ends, and barely felt effect. Nowadays I’m up between 4 & 5 and in work before 7 after a 40 minute commute. I wish I could reset my body clock to rise and retire later but I’ve tried a few times to no avail. Not a problem now whilst I work but not sure what the fcuk I’ll do with me sen at 04.30 every morning when I’m retired. Edited June 5 by pesky1972 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pardus 1,610 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Body clock what's that? If I'm working days I don't get to sleep whilst after midnight, sometimes until the morning, when I'm on nights I get 2-3 hours sleep during the day. I don't think I've had a good kip since I was a bairn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 49,738 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Never really had a sleep pattern, but I don’t go to bed early ever…..I always worked along the lines of if you only get an hours kip one night, or no Kip at all then you just sleep on the next night…… 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh_red 4,999 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 I read before that historically people in the middle ages I think used to have 2 sleeps a night . First sleep would be until 1 or 2 ish and the. Wake up fir couple hours and do housework etc then back to bed until wake time . Never got further than reading 1 article on it but it sounded interesting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchers 2,974 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 If I get up at 6am is a lie in for me especially on a weekend,my new partner can’t get her head around why I get up from 4.30 plus as I can’t get back to sleep.So it’s up housework done and dogs fed and out for a walk by 6.30-7.

Saturdays i usually feel burnt out and after doing the weekly shop in Tesco with the old woman feel even more drained so usually have an hours kip Saturday tea time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
