I found cutting out caffeine really helps getting a good nights sleep
Are we repeating the "great depression" of the 1920's?
How can we thank the Fire Service?

A question about sleep, to nightowls
(46 Posts)A silly question really.
If you need to catch up on some sleep, when do you do it?
I am a morning person, and I get an early night if possible.
So what do nightowls do? 
I know a nightowl person and he is getting very tired, but can't sleep earlier, and has to get up in the morning for work.
[I agree not the most important question of the day on gransnet today]
Im a fully fledged night owl, when younger I would start to read a book then much later realise it was 4am and I ought to go to bed. These days I go to bed at a sensible(for me) 11pm. and do fall asleep only to wake up at 3am, Im wide awake so get up and listen to the radio or do what Im doing now--on my laptop.I go back to bed after about two hours or so and sleep until approx 7am I dont seem to need lots of sleep but I do catnap during the day, not every day and the length of time varies.My eldest grandson is the same.I find a cool bedroom and a lavender smell on my pillow helps.
