What grinds my gears...

I'm similar with midnight.

 

Even if I go to bed about 9.30/10pm-ish, I'll just stay in bed on my laptop browsing around (usually Reddit, FT or TFF) and playing FM. Although last night involved watching Fresh Meat and an old episode of How Not To Live Your Life which I had on record.

 

It's just become habit now until midnight where I won't go to sleep even if I try.

 

I'm genuinely lucky if I manage before 1am, it's appalling when I'm up at 7:30/8. I just piss around on the laptop as well I find.

This has been my problem as of late, but it's usually around 1.30 and 2.00. I sometimes switch off about 23:00 but still makes no cunting difference. I usually end up forced to have a coffee or energy drink in the morning.

 

Sunday night I checked my phone and it was 4:30am, still hadn't got to sleep.

 

4 hours sleep a night is plenty, I don't know why you are all whinging.

 

I literally do not get how anyone can get through the day properly on 4 hours sleep. I just feel absolutely horrible all day, struggle to concentrate on anything etc.. no idea how anyone manages it and gets through everything fine.

I think your right, Margaret Thatcher apparantly only had 4 hours sleep a night.

It's ok Ron,  see that as a compliment.

 

I've often functioned on four hours sleep, I think being tired is often more of a state of mind that actual tiredness, focus your brain or do something you really enjoy and you'll be bouncing again.

 

That said I often catch up extensively on weekends, not uncommon for me to go 12 hours straight after a 3-4 day bender,

Can see where you're coming from but it just drains me of any energy whatsoever. If I have 6/7 I'll be tired when I wake up, generally OK during the day but sleep well (for another 6/7 :rolleyes:) the next night. If I have 8/9 I'm fine, if I have any more I actually end up feeling tired, but it's a different sort of tired, it's weird.

I often found in an office it didn't matter if I had 4 hours or 10 hours sleep, the work made me bored and tired more than anything.

 

I could be yawning all afternoon but they hit the pub after work and be alive until last orders.

"One of the main things the brain is doing is moving memories from short-term storage into long-term storage, allowing us more short-term memory space for the next day. If you don't get adequate deep sleep then these memories will be lost.

You might think: "I'll cut back during the week and then make up for it at the weekend." Unfortunately it doesn't work like that, because memories need to be consolidated within 24 hours of being formed."

How's that memory Matt? :D

Meh, just at that age where all his mates are thinking marriage is a good idea. Surely you remember being that age and people telling you that they were off on endless stags and weddings?

 

Yep, last 2 years especially have been an endless run of engagement partys, bucks partys and weddings. Don't get me wrong they are good fun but at the moment my weekends a full of them.

I'm the same 4-5 hours does me fine and when I'm on nights I usually have about 3 each morning or sometimes just don't bother such as have to work this Friday 10pm to 7am then going straight to pub for 8am, then coach to Ipswich leaves at 9.30am.

Never been one for a lot of sleep I rarely have the standard eight hours. It probably helps me cope with a 24/7 rotating shift pattern, I know a lot of people who work with me struggle.

Unsurpisingly, absolutely appalling.

Is there a programme on BBC at the moment that hasn't got some sort of Dr Who tie  in? Believe it or not some of us aren't bothered.

 

I've never watched an episode of it.

Tom Baker was my era........but I didn't watch it then & like you, I couldn't give a monkeys now.

 

I watched it once, just to see what all the fuss was about, that maybe I was wrong about it.  It was set in WW2, with Churchill & stuff........it was awful & had so many holes it in it was laughable.

Joey Essex. Sick of hearing about the washed up unfunny embarrassing twat, and it's the third day.

 

He wouldn't know that because apparently he can't tell the time  :blink: . I mentioned this at work and the woman I spoke to said that even her boys can't (14 + 10 y/o) and that Joey's mother committed suicide when he was a teenager.

 

Isn't learning to tell the time one of the very basics of education in school from a very young age though?!

 

I genuinely haven't come across any person who cannot tell the time which is why it surprised me to hear of this.

Not surprised, she must have realised the upcoming shame which was to occur.

lol Love the fact on the day Cameron follows a local escort agency on Twitter you pull this story out of nowhere. If we've gotta believe Cameron's excuse, then we can't really not offer the same to him.

I fail to see how someone not being able to tell the time is funny. It's so embarrassing. Have we really lowered our sense of humour to that?
