In the wee small hours of the morning

It is the wee small hours now in my corner of the world 1:50am. My house guests are sleeping,the wind and rain have buggered off,my evening chat with Jenny has long gone and I just watched a documentary on the goggle box. Now I have a bottle of beer to finish, I'vr read my e mails and am not far off wooden hill time on the road to Bedfordhire. I don't sleep many hours probably 4 or 5 on average but when I do sleep which happens in an instant I really sleep nothing will waken me.I rouse from my slumber in a few seconds wide awake and refreshed,no stumbling around yawning and scratching but up and at 'em and ready for the day ahead.I just wondered, as I often do about really diverse subjects what sleeping patterns others have,some I know need 8 or 9 hours and get cranky if they don't get them. Some like my beloved Margaret wake up in a thousand pieces and have to ease slowly into a new day. Ok folks I'll toddle off now and finish my ale. Be good if you can and if you can't make sure you enjoy it.

Like you I went up to bed late here (02,35CET 01,35 your time) Had to drag myself from the TV as I was watching the 24 hour Le Mans race.
4 or 5 hours is enough for me, I wake like a Cat.
I never take a nap during the day because if I do I become extremely Cranky.

I wish I only needed 4 - 5 hours sleep, but I need at least 8 hours. Otherwise I'm dozy, cranky and tend to need to sleep a couple of hours during the day, which then means I'm not tired when I should be and go to bed at the right time. Thankfully I don't have to get up early for anything special, being retired so my sleep patterns are only of use to me. I wake up slowly and very stiffly, but then I'm okay.

My sleep pattern is all over the place. Used to be I needed 8-9 hours or I was cranky and groggy. Now I EVENTUALLY fall asleep sometime between 1 and 3 am on the weekend. Then get up around 9 usually. I could get up earlier but Rick is always up first as he sleeps from 11pm to 8am as a habit.. So I wait till he's gotten his ablutions done, walked the dog and has my coffee ready.. This way he can stay to his schedule, I'm not in his way and I can wake up slowly. This is the weekend. During the week when I must go to work, I take a Tylenol pm tablet around 9:30 go to bed at 11. Watch tv for an hour then try and go to sleep. Regardless I must get up at 7:30 to get ready..
