    Have you noticed that after midnight it seems to be the same people on GC.

    Got to be insomniacs, I think, or can't deal with the other halfs snoring! :D

    I'm not an insomniac as I normally sleep about three hours a night and don't need any more - been like that all my life. I rarely get on GC during the early hours as the computer is in the room next to the bedroom and it may disturb Mrs shiney - I'm disturbing enough as it is :heehee:.

    I get really cross with myself when I find myself posting after 11:30pm when I should be tucked up in bed! The internet has ruined my (sorely needed) beauty sleep.

    I always used to sit up until 3am when I was in college, but since I started working when I was 18, my sleep pattern has become much more regular; I'm finding myself getting ready for bed come 11 now. Just give me the Horlicks and velcro slippers already :loll:

      Couldn't ever do that :heehee:

      If someone worked the night shift but was awake during the day, no one would notice that they were an insomniac.

          Sleep is incredibly boring relic that evolution just can't seem to shake off.

          I could see the point of it, if we still had to go out hunting and gathering, and it was too dangerous to do so in the dark in case a massive great tiger was waiting to eat us, but in 2011, I don't think there are many things waiting in the dark to eat us.:)

            But snuggling in bed, clueless1, surely...it's one of the best feelings ever. Speaking of which...it's past my bedtime :heehee:

            Habit to me I am afraid
            I worked for thirty years in the gaming industry, did not get home till midnight
            still wide awake and needed to unwind before sleep would come,
            Now in a day job, where I Still do not get home till 20:00 if I go to bed early I wake up EARLY and just have to sit about waiting to go to work
            (can not bring myself to leap out into the garden at 06:00 then get clean to go to work at 09:00)
            So I stick to my old routine relax until around 02:00 get up intime for work
            get home 20:00 have dinner, do a bit in the garden/odd jobs then shower and relax
            It seems a way of life now after years and years, well fifty actually
            I do not know what will happen when I retire in April as I seem to be an Owl type person for life
