frugal Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It is the mornings. For the first time this year it was clear for a good long period, so I was out until 04:30 this morning. Unfortunately the rest of the family and the postman decided that I should wake up at 08:30... ...need... more... coffee...Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Smith Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I can go quite happily on 4 hours sleep, it's when I next get a full night (7+ hours) that the loss hits me hardest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've had a couple of sessions likes that. Generally the first one is ok. Maybe two on a trot. But at Kelling a few years ago I had four nights of getting into bed at around 5:30 as it got light to be woken at 8 by my son. By the fourth night I just couldn't do it, even though it was clear I needed sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Ward Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I find staying out all night no problem , it's the dragging myself into a vertical attitude again early doors to catch my daily Solar shot that hurts sometimes ... Out til 05:30 this morning then up waiting for a gap at 08:30 , thankfully it's Sunday so I'm happy and horizontal again now the shot's in the bag ...

Paul73 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I've got used to having 3 children under 5 years old. A full night's sleep is a dim and cherished memory.Happily, it does mean that observing sessions in the wee small hours are water off a duck's back.I really envy you normal folks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
