It's Your Round Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 42 minutes ago, leemond2008 said: I used to get the Sunday night blues terrible at my old job, even when things were going well there I could never ever sleep on a Sunday night, I resorted to taking Piriton an hour before bed because that is the only drug that absolutely knocks me out, drop two of them bad boys and I'm dead to the world. The anxiety before returning after a week off was horrific as well, I changed jobs back in January and its been all good ever since Back in my twenties when I was overly fond of cocaine, I used to drop two Nytol to get to sleep. Worked wonders for switching off and getting sleep when I had work in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 On average 10pm. If really tired. Between 9 and 10. Up usually at 5pm but can be any time between 3.30 and 5.45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired from the uppers and groggy from the sleepers. I did used to abuse sleep medication though sometimes to stop me from wanting to go out and other times because they just feel nice . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Happy if I get to bed by around 1am. Often still awake at 3 or 4 on a bad night, although usually end up catching that up with an early night. Never been much of an morning person. Only get up before 8.30ish if I have a meeting or something important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice sleep off them . If I’d been out on piss on a Friday or Saturday I’d get terrible anxiety Sunday night and even at work on the Monday . I've had that recently, never used to get it. Two or 3 consecutive nights of drinking and then the first and second nights without drinking I dont sleep at all. Is it anxiety ye? I wasnt sure whether it was because my body had adjusted to going to bed pissed and struggled to readjust back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy7211 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 In bed most nights by 2200 but because I can't quiet my mind I'm awake for around 2-3 hours. I'll watch TV in bed next to my snoring wife until I finally doze off. I've struggled with switching off since I was a teenager. Up between 0530 and 0615 depending on what time my youngest gets up. Will have one or two days a month where I physically can't go on and I'll pass out at 2000, until 0700 the next day. Then always feel like crap the whole day through.

tonyh29 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Usually around 1:30 / 2:00 up at 7:30 except weekends when I’ll roll out of bed around 10:30 if I went to be at 10 or 11 I’d wake up a few hours later and be unable to get back to sleep , tend to find with a 1:30 / 2:00 it’s lights out and I’ll sleep through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like being rushed or have the feeling I'm going to be late for something. Friday night is my pub night so anytime between 12am and 2am and up about 8am with the kids.

It's beyond me how anyone can do this. Sure, if I'm tired after a bad night, I might find myself nodding off in the afternoon, involuntarily. But if I tried to have a nap at a scheduled time, I can guarantee I'd fail, no matter how tired I was. My mind would start to race, I be going "Five minutes gone already, must get to sleep, must get to sleep..." Totally impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I always think sleeping in the day was finally giving in to being old. I never do it and never want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
