Night Owls

After years of strong medication, my solution was Melatonin pills.

Confirmed Sleep, Wake Cycle Disorder and it was all down to a simple chemical imbalance. My melatonin was releasing at the wrong times, so I would usually start nodding off at 10am.

After 4 years of utter hell , the fix was simple.

Whenever I start to feel myself slipping again, I spend more time in direct sunlight for a couple of days and it sorts it out. Weird.

Thanks mate but unfortunately not that in my case as I came upon this suggestion before with the result that the neighbours were getting a bit tired of the great haired wrinkly half naked man in the communal garden.
Unfortunately all I got was a nice tan but no improvement in sleep cycles.
One of my internal clocks was knocked off kilter during my time in the Royal Marines some 40 years ago which meant I slept and woke early which was fine. But now I sleep early but only for a brief time.
 
yes light bulbs do make a difference. its part of our biology.
Circadian rhythm is heavily based on blue light, wich tv, computers, lightbulbs all throw out in large quantities. so removing that blue light resay does help.
amongst other common advice, try to exercise in morning, rather than evening, no caffeine after lunch or stop it completely. get as much sun as possible during the day.

Evening troops.

Just spent the last few hours labbing for MCSA. Pulling my hair out when trying to join a Server Core VM to my newly set up domain. Took forever to realise DNS settings were wrong on the VM before bingooooooooo. I can't ping from my DC to VM via hostname but can the other way round, again I assume it's DNS related. I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Anddddd breathe...
 
I might actually go to bed earlier tonight than normally and don't even have work in the morning. But then again I'm an hour ahead of you lot :p

Me going to bed is usually starts with the decisions of "I can go on TeamSpeak for a bit", then I sit there until 2 AM (cause after 1 I'm too tired and unmotivated to go to bed) and then I gotta do exercises and always watch an episode of Friends or something.

I should really work on that...
