I am not sure if it is a blessing or a curse but I am an all day long person with a love of the solitude and silence of night.
I have always had to work late at night as a single mother, but all my adult life I have worked and been up at 6am to get the children up, fed, dressed and sorted and to the childminder before going to work. I am rarely asleep before 2am. I can't drop off and have never been one for daytime naps. I am always alert and it's a form of anxiety I suppose. People have always relied on me so now I find it very hard to switch off. OH is snoring away next to me. I have my Kindle and my books ( and Gransnet,) so I pass the sleepless hours quite contentedly. I am sure so little sleep is bad for me but I seem to thrive despite quite a few chronic conditions.
I no longer work so I am often in bed still at 7.30 am, A real treat. OH always brings me up a nice cup of tea before I rise, soon afterwards.
