| I go to bed early but sometimes I wake up as early as 3:00 a.m. and get online then. We might be just missing each other. |

That’s me too, going to bed around 9 but wake up all hours of the night. Sometimes I give up trying to get back to sleep and get up at 4 AM. Last night, I took some antihistamine and managed to sleep thru most of the night.

Go to bed at 10.00 pm. Wake up at 2:00 to 3:00 to drain the Dragon. Get up 7:00 to 8:00. If I hear noise during the night I do a walk about in the house and look at my outdoor cameras. |

Most times, I can't even stay awake to watch a whole NHL hockey game, then I wake up 2 hours later and try to fall asleep again. That is usually a futile attempt at best. I tried melatonin but it didn't help. ------------- Castles made of sand slip into the sea.....eventually |

I've always had this thing. If I'm up past 11:30 or so then I'm up half the night. Then I got put on Water-pills. Now I'm woken up every 2 hours all night & that no longer applies.  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

Being on a different continent, puts me out of time with most of you guys. Week days I generally look in at lunch time, or in the evening. Weekends depends on how busy we are. ------------- It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |

Used to.work twelve hours shifts. Something times also on the weekend. Made a great paycheck. Still get phone calls from work on old and odd press setup. Had to go in two or there times sends I left almost two years ago. Got paid very well for it. No one ever reads set up and build sheets. |
