jfish1936 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I think medical training taught me to be able to stay awake all night if necessary; and to go to sleep if I ever got the chance! But I can visit britain & return to Oz with only a slight sleep disturbance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyy123 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 When I lived back home in Sheffield I never had problems sleeping, but since coming to Australia (33yrs ago) I have had trouble sleeping. Now I wake up most nights about 1.30a.m. and read usually falling asleep some four hours later. Thank goodness I'm retired. I figure it's this living upside down does it Australia was the only place I have stayed in where I did go to bed at a normal time (well around 12ish) I'd gladly swap places with you nanrobbo I loved the time spent out there, The air in England is so much heavier, I remember the first morning back I almost woke up gasping for air. I also find if I do manage to have a normal amount of sleep (8 hours) I wake with a dreadful headache and feel yukky for the rest of the day.

Powerage Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I am definately a night owl I find it hard to go to bed before midnight and then only because I have to get up at 7 am to get my daughter off to school and go to work etc. I have a terrible time trying to sleep but seem to find it easier to sleep early morning just when I have to get up!! I have seen a programme on this which said that there were 3 types of people nightowls, morning people who like to go to bed early and get up early and then the normals who the 9-5 culture suits. Apparently a lot of it is passed on through genes in my case I get it from my dad who went to bed late and liked to get up late. My daughter is also a nightowl and I have great problems getting her to sleep and up early for school but I understand as I know how she feels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekke_287 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'm an Insomniac, so I barely sleep. If at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitleMermaid Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I love staying up late, but it's not good when you have to be up at 6.30.....or 7.15 in this morning's case How many times did you press snooze? Usually I love my bed, but recently I've not been sleeping too well. The main problem is not feeling like I want to go to bed. Once I'm in there and asleep, I don't want to get out in the morning:roll: I hate getting up with a passion!!! I don't want to become a night owl, when Uni starts again I will have far too much to do in the day to be up until stupid o'clock! And I really really need me sleep, I hate that nagging feeling of tiredness and falling asleep on the bus when you haven't had enough:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haddockman Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 How many times did you press snooze?:PQUOTE] Pressed it so many times that it stopped going off after a while, was only luck I woke up when I did! Could have woken at like 10am! Big alarm is getting set tonight, got bells on! Nobody can ignore that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardoor Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Most newborn babies are naturally nocturnal until they get a bit of a sleep pattern, so maybe it's the way that we're meant to be. Its interesting because a large percentage of people i know would love to stop up all night if they could! If you go back to caveman days then man presumably will have done most of his hunting at night? I wonder with us generally becoming more of a 24 hour mobile society will we see more people choosing the night shift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
