I have always been a nightowl and since I've retired have found myself more and more staying up all night, going to bed around 5 am, getting up around noon and starting all over again - we need to start a nightowl section for those of us who can't sleep - love the peace and quiet of the night - can get so much work done on my various projects - but I'm going to have to change and soon - my DD will be going back to work the middle of April and DH and I will be babysitting our new GS. (sigh) what we sacrifice for our children :)

In our house the routine was always for me to stay up with the babies and my husband got up with them early in the morning. So I got on that cycle....I go through bouts of insomnia as well and have since I was in high school.
I can function pretty well on only 5 hours sleep but less than that and I crash around mid day.
What is funny is with as quiet as the house is during the day - I still get more done at night when everyone is asleep - guess its my bodies cycle used to doing work at night or something!

oh my.. me too.. I seem to hardly ever sleep more than just a few hours.. Could be that more water would help.. but if I drank 2 glasses straight down I think I'd just be up every 30 mintues until the 3 glasses were given back! Who knows, but I'll try it. I know one thing, 2 glasses of water are better than drugs, but maybe 2 glasses of wine might do the trick better... or quicker! Just kidding there.. I'd be on the floor passed out, not in bed asleep!
