early birds or up all nite?

I blame my lack of sleepinng on all the shock "therapy" when I was younger.

 

Something to consider for people with sleep issues. I had these problems when I was getting up all messed up in the morning, or woke up in the middle of the night all tense and couldn't go back to sleep. Looks like it was related to bad gut flora, wrong bacteria living there, incorrect pH balance -- these kind of things. We all have something like 4lbs of various bugs in the gut and the wrong ones will keep ya awake and tox ya out. Taking antibiotics will do that, eating/drinking too much or wrong stuff or at wrong times will too.

 

Get a sleep study. My old work insurance covered it and my buddy needed the mask. Never would have known other wise.

 

usually in bed by 10 and I can barely make myself wake up by 5:45 for work...that leaves me 10-15 minutes to shower and get out the door

 

the wife...but i dont recall that kind of "doing" that night. she was pissed that i didnt get us a hotel.

we did see wolves though!

 

I do software dev, and for a couple years I worked entirely remotely. End result of that, is absolute loss of and semblance of a normal schedule. I figured out that my natural circadian rhythm is slightly longer than one day, it's around 25.5 hours. Left completely to my own devices, I go to sleep about an hour and a half later than the previous night, consistently. Worked out so that my schedule would completely flip flop between normal and nocturnal about every two weeks.

 

Everybody is like that. If you put a person in a cave without any time measuring devices they'll start living on a lunar day schedule.
