stayin up late

i start work at 9am (awesome)
i live 3 miles away from work and am on a motorbike.
i get out of bed at 8:15

so i try to get to bed at 12...
but i think "hmmm 7 hours sleep is still good!" so usually go to bed between 12 and 1am.

its annoying...im always tired after work but by time i should be going to sleep im wide awake!
a big meal and a beer 3 hours before you want to sleep was my trick to getting to sleep back when i was on shift work.

ok im goin to bed now xzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

im always feeling tired but i don't really go to bed till between 2-4

If i go to bed at 4, a lecture at 9 feels like hell

A couple of questions for Tommy (out of idle curiousity more than anything)

Why is starting work at 9 am awesome?

Have you considered riding a bicycle instead of a motorbike to work?

Is 'feeling' tired and 'being' tired different states?

[/QUOTE]

why would he ride a bike? I'd totally use a motorbike if i could

[roobaby]

Ashley, he might ride a bicycle because it is cheaper, less carbon footprint and it's good exercise. The good exercise part might get Tommy's sleep patterns back on track. Even more controversial - walk to work! It's only 3 miles ( 6 miles return)

9am is an awesome time to start work cos in previous jobs ive started at 4am,6am,6:30am,7am and 8am (1pm and 2pm starts were ok) and im home by 10past 5!

i have considered cycling...might start in spring...but then id have to get up earlier BOOOO
walking!? no chance

feeling and being tired may well be 2 different states! being tired is a physical thing, feeling tired is just an excuse to be lazy.

hmmmmm. i find it easy to break through the tired barrier and feel awake again. years of watching random movies on channel 4 untill 5am has allowed me to attain a zen like state which creates a forcefield around me which is Impenetrable by my nemesis the sandman.

but yeah ive stopped exercising since moving into this flat as i still havent had a shower fitted. gettin hot and sweaty and jumping in the bath is rubbish. so thats probably a factor

[roobaby]

Thanks for the detailed response Tommy! Bath or shower..........now that's another interesting dilemma!

[Ashley11]

eww, riding a bike would make you so sweaty for work. And motorbikes are cool
