I always wake up before my alarm. I jump out of bed and off I go. I do not drag during the day nor am I exhausted. On the weekends, I do try to sleep in as long a I can...It never fails I am up no later than 4:30 a.m. Amy I a nut case or what?

I think she was totally right about that!

When I was in America I used to wish I could use public transportation and sleep instead of driving through rush hour. I've heard about the 2 hour sleep thing before but it could result in insanity!

My problem is at the other end of the scale and is simply put, not enough sleep!!!!!! I have insomnia and have had it for about 10 years now! At night watching TV I can't even relax without twitching or some bloody nerve in my body not relaxing. When it is time to go to bed I'm usually quite tired and doze off for a few minutes but nearly always wake up and can then go for hours trying to get back to sleep. I rarely sleep for more than two hours straight and have tried everything from every type of medicine (Healthy and not so healthy types!!) to meditating and so on!! I do feel reasonably fine during the days with 4 hours sleep per night, but have often thought just how much more I could do with my life if I was able to get 7 to 8 hours of real decent sleep?????? If anyone has any advice no matter how strange, it would be appreciated !! I have even tried counting "Nova bunnies" and that certainly did not work haa haa haa!!

In a normal day I sleep for four hours at home, and take a 30 minute power nap on the way to work. Then I'm fine all day :) I sleep on a hard floor and the train, so there is certainly some credence to this.

Strangely enough, I work fine when I haven't had sleep in over 24 hours.
