I wake up naturally, before dawn breaks. I always feel amazing first thing and so energised, but obviously its dark and Mr P & the dog are still asleep so I have to be quiet for the most part. I think I need to be a postwoman or something because I could walk for miles in the silent streets. I do get insomnia from time to time, but that’s to do with neighbours rather than not being able to sleep.
Me too, when my son stays, I have to be very quiet in the mornings, because he doesn’t rise until around 9.30 am…he takes ages to wake up…doesn’t go to bed until around 1 am…
If I need to get up at a very early time, though not lately, I either set an alarm or I get my daughter to ring me. My son will also wake me if I ask him to at around 8.30/9 a.m…
I do dream a lot & I wake up two or three times in the night & need a wee, the joys of getting old!.
Lucky you, it takes me hours and hours. Usually the mornings don’t exist for me, after midday is when I start my day usually. That is all down to working permanent night shifts for a couple of decades, it ruined my circadian rhythm (body clock) and I have yet to find a way to change it!
In honesty my sleep pattern is all over the place…I worked night shifts as well, in an EMI unit also home care…it does mess our body clock up that’s for sure.
Tiff, I usually have a Latte as a bedtime drink…I’ll miss it tonight, then see if I dream or not…those dreams are seriously upsetting, I’m wondering if I imagined those that I thought were mouse in my loft, I hit the ceiling with the Hoover long nozzle,…did I dream it, never heard a thing up there since…your mind can play tricks on you when your half asleep.
Rarely need an alarm I wake up too much or dont sleep long enough most nights. But I did get 2 decent nights last week woke only once and got almost 6 hours!
