true... I only need one non-work day to revert back to my natural body clock (Friday nights I'm up til 2 or 3am then nocturnal for rest of weekend, hence why I'm up now)
true... I feel better when i cycle to work!

Its not that late!!

i have forced myself to go to bed, i have to get up in 4 hrs. And I'm on here.

 

[classic33]

I'll still be trying to get to sleep then!
Oh, best o'luck getting to sleep.

I must have been adopted then, It wasn't unusual for me to be mooching off to bed at 3am or so and meeting my dad coming downstairs to start his day. My mum is an early riser too.

Thank God I'm not the only one - I have long been nocturnal, much to the annoyance of my very conservative parents!

Do you know what time it is? Turn that trainset off and go to bed young man!

No!!

Ironically, despite saying that it is genetic, my Mum worked as a teacher for years, so always had to get up early, and my Dad always wakes at 6AM on the dot come hell or high water, even after retiring. The problem is, we don't know much about my Mum's real family, and in actual fact, since retiring, my Mum has been staying up later and waking up later too!

I must get my owlness from my Mum.

Some days I'm lucky if I wake up at 6PM never mind 6AM!!

I think it also explains why I don't suffer from SAD or anything like that - Darkness is my natural habitat!!







4 years working in a darkroom had no effect at all, of course.

Don't get him(MDB) started on trains, whatever you do.

That last part must have left you high?

wonder if there is something in that? I had my own home set up from being a kid & was various types of darkroom tech for a good few years before my current job

And even luckier to not have to depend on an earned income.
