We do live in a tyranny that only suits A-people. [...] [...] B-people – me me me – has inner day-and-night lasting 25-27 hours. What did I write in my Part 1 post? I am on 26-27 hour clock.

I too have had troubles ever since college. Thats' way too many years. Funny the night I wrote my comment.. I had a terrible time falling asleep. Oh well. And if I have to get up really early for a trip or a shoot, forget sleeping the night before. I think I get stressed about not hearing the alarm go off. Am going to try, next time, putting 2 alarms. That might help. I use 2 essential oil combos specifically for sleep troubles. I also have a sound machine I use that helps cut out extraneous noise. Here's to all the poor people who have troubles sleeping! Sounds like you are doing everything right. I too have had troubles ever since college. Thats’ way too many years.

In fact, I am enjoying, almost too much, this freedom with time and my instincts are telling me that I am on dangerous territory. I need to pull up my socks and get back to normality. I discovered recently the writing down anything that is on my mind while trying to sleep. It helps. Lavender essential oil is a blessing. And no Diet Coke one hour before bed time, at least.

Sometimes excessive desire to sleep is symptomatic of depression. I too have a difficult time falling asleep and staying asleep. Have had that almost all my life. Factor in a very active dream life and it makes for a very tiring day. If you have trouble falling asleep, try reading a boring book before you go to bed. Or read something spiritual. Nothing stimulating. Don't drink caffeine at night. Um. If you have a hard time shutting off the mind. Try writing down all the things going on in your head. And definitely don't go to bed if you have something on your mind without trying to resolve it. Milk or chamomile tea before bed is good. And there are some aromatherapy oils that you can rub on your nose before bed. Good luck! You depressed Lizze? Sometimes excessive desire to sleep is symptomatic of depression.

Maybe it would make me normal :) slim – sleep is odd ‘struggle’ but since most people have to work then there is little choice.

Every single line on there applies to me. What I do is, I stay away from this "system". It's all non-existant... all this 9-5 thing, fast paced world, neo-ultra-modern-space age... its all hype and unnecessary necessities (??). I don't follow one bit of this system, I do what I want to do. And that is sleep :D . Sleep when I want, wake up when I want and do what I like, even if it would mean I'd be called a moron and unsociable. Guess this is the reason I don't get the ladies? :( Liz, you sound like I possessed you and posted this blog from your brain/soul/body whatever! Every single line on there applies to me.

Sleeping is something that many complains about but rarely talks about. It is now 00.38 and I am about to go to bed. Hope sleeps comes quickly tonight. And for you too.

It used to take me at least an hour to fall asleep, no matter how tired I was, but now it takes just a few minutes. It always took a long time, even when I was a kid. I don't know what changed. Maybe I'm old. No, that couldn't be it. :) I love sleep. It used to take me at least an hour to fall asleep, no matter how tired I was, but now it takes just a few minutes.
