So. I'm lying in bed awake. Completely awake and trying to sleep. Supposed to wake up in 6 hours but tonight I really don't feel like sleeping. Work politics on my mind and my brain can't shutdown.

Been a big upheavel with key staff leaving and effectively forming direct competition. That's life and that's business I suppose, but it is agony on my mind.

nodded for for half an hour now wide awake 
Broke out a tub of the Christmas 'heroes', nom-nom-nom, watching 'Boston Legal' box set, hopefully can catch some zeds before it gets past the time of not even bothering

.Some weeks im asleep by 11 some weeks by 2am but I always wake up bang on 8.30, Its always taken me liturally half hr to a hour to fall asleep once I get into bed when I am tired and try to sleep, just the way it is for me I guess but if I go to bed when I'm not tired I can't sleep it's actually impossible. But I always wake up same time dayly regardless.
And also this threads called night owl... Well there's a bloody owl that likes to sit on our chimney pot every winter warming it's self up on the heat from our wood and coal burning stove and it makes a right racket, honest to god the screeches it makes are shockingly loud!

Just laying down in bed on my laptop watching random crap on youtube. Can't sleep due to lots of things on my mind. Money, college, work, coursework and operation next week.
Just fed the cat then sent it on it's way outside to do cat things.
But ever since my time in the Maines some 40 years ago where I suffered a head injury which must have affected one of my internal clocks I tend to get sleepy around 8pm and rarely am I awake after 9pm. But I tend to wake at 4am and watch whatever rubbish I have recorded on TV the night before. Then as I say up at 5 to deal with the cat. On rare occasions I may nod back off for an hour but very rarely.
