< tired most of time and wanting to sleep loads pattern :-( > It is important for the body to heal itself and sleep is the only way for that to happen. It's good sleep if it is deep sleep. <I got into habit of staying up later and later, ending up going to bed about 5am and sleeping during most of day > As a kid, I always thought staying up was fun because all the adult family members I knew who stayed up late were having fun. With my dad's side of the family everyone would have been hopped up on coffee and they would get louder sometimes. <being ill on Wed' threw it out again a bit and the upcoming week my son will be on school hol's so routine out of window again> I don't know how your son's school would affect sleep unless your'e working night shift and his

school is an hour away. <I often seem to come more awake on a night and would much prefer to be able to sleep all day, but world not designed to function this way.> It does seem to be more stimulating to all the senses being awake at night for me anyway. I think it is caused in part by dopamine release. <but world not designed to function this way.> That sucks. I hope you function better than the world. The world is not the example to follow. I'd attempt working days and sleeping til atleast 4 a.m. although it isn't always possible. It seems strange but, come to think of it, working nights was easier for me in the past as well because it seemed to prolong the day and I didn't feel like my whole world revolved around my shift. Then, my suggestion would be to do what works best for that aspect of work.

Recently had a lot of insomnia, that now seems to have past and now into the tired most of time and wanting to sleep loads pattern :-(My son was away about a week ago and I got into habit of staying up later and later, ending up going to bed about 5am and sleeping during most of day - this cycle continued even when I was getting up 7am - so surviving on about 2 hours sleep.Things seem to be getting back on track a bit regarding my sleep, but last week being ill on Wed' threw it out again a bit and the upcoming week my son will be on school hol's so routine out of window again :-(I often seem to come more awake on a night and would much prefer to be able to

I won't bring up the previous post but, suffice to say, if it was funny it was funny. It doesn't matter if you find it humorous or not. It was funny to me. > > > > No. I won't tell you off-list because it is not an authoritative book on the subject. If any book had to be written on the subject, I wouldn't have any desire to purchase it just for proof of something that has stood the test of time. I just looked it up in my book. I was wrong about it

being thursday 8:30 til friday 8:30. It is actually "Each week a lunar cycle occurs starting at sundown every friday and ending at sundown every saturday". My memory failed me on that one. I don't know what I was thinking. Here's a link for seventh day adventists. I think that most of it has to do with the fact that all the religions think they know about the day of rest and whenever I look it up it's just basically saying historical tradition in the name of different religions and never getting anywhere with the actual proof. The other days aren't with the lunar cycle. It is only friday sundown to saturday sundown that is in tune with the lunar cycle. As for your sleeping in midday, it> is proper to get enough rest. That is, if you've ever extended yourself beyond reaching for a cup of coffee. The body after exercise and exercise only needs rest during the midday. Otherwise, there is another reason for the

fatigue Isaac Newton rested everyday apart from his sleeping schedule ( I think it was around 12noon) and held something in his hand while doing so. When the thing dropped, he woke up and claimed to have been through with his rest at that point. So, it makes sense that you might get energizing rest during the midday like you claimed. Basically, it's more simple than I'd thought. Rest when the sun goes down. Wake up when the sun goes up. I'm not going to argue that point because it is self-evident. My sleep schedule has been less than perfect since I was 11 and I'm almost 22. I'm still trying to get it straightened out. - As for you, believe what you want about the lunar cycle although it is friday sundown-saturday sundown. > > > http://egov.oregon.gov/DOC/TRANS/religious_services/rs_handbook02.shtml#SEVENTH_DAY_ADVENTIST>
