Well, it's another one of those sleepless nights. I was tired all day yesterday but didn't get a nap and then now I have energy due to some strong iced tea and cookies so here I am up real late. Anyone else up want to chat?
 

At 6 PM, I can barely stay awake. If I sit in an easy chair to watch tv, I'm asleep. 9PM, and I'm still sleepy. If I go to bed now, I'll be up wide awake at 4PM. Counting the minutes till I get in bed. 10 PM, I'm not as sleepy. 10:30 PM, I'm not sleepy. 11PM, I am wide awake, and fully alert. I'll be wide awake till 2PM. AUUGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
 

I noticed some years ago that time of day began to mean nothing. With no set schedule, light or dark, morning noon or night just doesn't matter. So, that frees me to go to sleep whenever the heck I feel like it. 😴 Ahhhhh, sweet freedom.
BUT, if there's something that needs to happen at a certain setting on the clock then I gotta pay attention.⏰ Darn. 😾

I know what you mean about something you have to do at certain times you got to get up earlier.:cautious::ROFLMAO:

Been there. Not being able to sleep like everyone else is absolute torture IMO. Sound sleepers have no idea of the anxiety involved when waiting for the first sign of daylight to finally appear at the window, knowing you must get up soon and go to work. Luckily retirement takes the work factor away, but the anxiety still prevails every night around bedtime. I understand and sympathize with you Ruthanne.

Had I still been on medical leave I would've.

Well, I am up again. Took a brief nap real late last night and then tried a sleep a few hours ago and just tossed and turned so I decided to get back up and have a cool glass of water. I will check back in here to see if anyone else is up.
