It's not the late nights that get me...

[frugal]

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...

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.

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

Yup, I was out last night and really struggled for the 6am call...

Lay-ins don't exist in this house.

I always find that the next day I'm fine, but it hits me like a ton if bricks the day after.

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 ...

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
