Argh! Sleep....

[neil.b]

I've started waking up at about the same time every day - 5 friggin 30 in the morning and I really struggle to get back to sleep. Of course, until about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off at 7.30 which renders me zombie-like for the rest of the day.

Anyone know what can cause that? Its just happened all of a sudden for the last 4 or 5 days. No noises, not really changed my bedtime habbits or anything I can think of....

I need help!

Sometimes suffer from this myself, relax.. it will pass

[Plotloss]

How about going to bed two hours later?

Nah, that's constipation. Different subject.

try wearing your watch to bed. ill give you twenty quid if it happens again tommorow and youre wearing your watch. (assuming it doesnt tick loudly or beep every hour).

trust me, try it, and report back.

Eh? Surely if your not wearing a watch its better?

No iidea why you're waking up at 5.30am. If it's any consolation the early hours are when you are most likely to die in your sleep! At least if it happens you'll be awake for it

The wierd thing is, it doesn't really matter what time I go to bed - 5.30, wide-a-fecking-wake.

Lucky you, that time is when I actually get up and get ready for work

You know, that's the kind of bet that only works in person; (a) I could lie and/or (b) you could just not give me the 20 quid.

And besides, that's some old Frank Carson joke or something. If I weren't so tired I'd probably be able to remember the punchline....

I see what you're saying, but it would be like you waking up at 3.30am.....its relative

Central heating coming on?
Birdies tweeting/windows open??
Bottle of wine the night before???

Good point !

[ARH]

I wake at 5:45 every morning, which just happens to be the time the heating switches on to warm the water up. I know this because on saturdays it is set to come on later so I wake up later. Once I knew what it was i had no problem getting back to sleep.

[nervous]

its not a gag. i know my onions in this err.. field. try the watch thing. seriously. if im wrong ill happily pay up.

does the sound of a cork echo back 8 hours later?



Could also be your neighbour's alarm clock. I never actually hear their clock go off but I know it does, because just after I wake up, I can hear them getting ready (walls aren't that thin but thin enough to know if they're moving around).

More like .75l of finest vin rouge trying to find it's way back out one way or another, at least that was why I was up with the larks this fine morn(not barfing obviously, that's a waste)...
