Can not sleep long

daedong · Sep 11, 2004

I was wondering if all TBN folk could help me out. For some time now i have difficulty sleeping at night. I seem to sleep for about 5hrs and wake up and can't get back to sleep. As a consequence i get very lethargic during the day.

I have been thinking about this problem for sometime now and have concluded that shorter days would make life much easier. So here is what i would like all TNBers to do for me just to see if a shorter day would help. Face your tractor in an Easterly direction. At zero hundred hrs start it and drive till the earth has done a full revolution. Now if every one participates i would surmise the earth would complete its rotation about one hour sooner. On the other hand if you all drive west there would be more time for me to try and sleep. I thinzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Vince I have had the same experience.

I have discovered that all that is necessary to cure it, is to work a little harder and longer during the day. Once you find the correct amount of work required, you will no longer wake up after just several hours of sleep.

Trust me on this...it is a proven fact.

You just need to work a little harder and a little longer. The problem will cure itself... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have been having a similar problem since romancing the ladies this summer /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Seems I can't wait to wake up in the morning /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif.

The tractor(s) have been sitting idle quite a bit. Maybe I still need more seat time.

Bill, I think you're spot on, of late i've been a little slack, too much TBN and not enough getting the hands dirty. So tomorrow i'm going to do some hard yacka,

I go for days at a time when I'am gratefull if I get 5 Hrs sleep. You see I work a 12 hr continental shift, nights, I get home in the morning[now] check in here,go to bed and like it or not I'll be awake at noon.Then by the time I'am sleepy enough to get some more sleep it's suppertime and I have to get ready to head back in. The worst of it is when I come off the end of the stretch and want to get some work done I'll end up sleeping half the day away which really makes me irritable.

Ron; Know what ya mean. I worked an 8 hour swing shift for 22 years. Had no choice, it's amazing what you'll do for money. People for the most part are not nocturnal. On midnites I was lucky to get 4 hours a day, then when the long weekend came up, I hated myself for the first 3 days, then was seminormal for the last one. I HATED swing shift!!!!!!

Here it is 1:00 am and I can't sleep. Don't know why but having the same syndrome. Fall asleep right when I go to bed, wake up and can't get back to sleep. Best go into work I guess or continue to lurk here.
