I slept great last night (which is awful)

I slept nine hours last night, so I feel pretty great. The problem is that I didn’t fall asleep until after five (no, I wasn’t doing anything exciting, I just wasn’t sleeping). So now that that I woke up after two I’m going to need to make myself tired with drugs early tonight (Ambien will be my friend) so I can get back on schedule or I’ll never get to work on time this week. And it’s night night I’m goign to be tired at all come 10 or 11 tonight…

So yesterday: I roller-bladed, ran all sorts of errands, drank only one bottle of coke (it was early in the afternoon and much below my normal intake) so why couldn’t I sleep?!? Sometimes I’m just like a little kid and I fight it off, but I’m nit sure why…

Sleep – 3x Thursday

1. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get a night? Is it enough, or do you need more?
7 if I’m lucky. I usally catch up 1 or 2 nights a week (with 10-12 hours).
2. Do you normally sleep pretty well at night, or are you a toss & turner, insomniac, etc?
I have a hard time getting to sleep, can lay for hours sometimes.
3. Do you sleep alone, or with someone? If you sleep alone normally, how do you fair when you sleep next to someone, or vice versa if it’s the opposite?
It depends. Sometimes I sleep better and sometimes not… “Excercise” before bed helps sometimes.
Bonus Question for Comments: What’s your ideal sleep schedule?
About 2am to 10am. That’s what it seems like my body really seems to like….
