Early Nights (getting older)
|
|
Have noticed in this last job that come saturday I am fucking shattered and often need an hours nap in the afternoon.
I moved out of London about 6 years ago and gave myself a 2 hour commute each way, which I initially seemed to be ok with, but lately I wonder if its a bit much.
The last two weeks I have been experimenting with going to bed earlier (latest 10pm, earliest 7.30pm) and despite waking a bit to early some days (3.30) I have felt so much fucking better its unreal.
I've pretty much worked out that I am not a night person, my body clock seems to be happiest getting up early and going to bed early.
You cunts?

I'm almost 49.i have a few on a Wednesday but don't bother in the week.
I'm off to bed now picking a mate up at nine should be in the supporters club by ten.
Watch The Hammers thrash Sunderland get back my way in time for the rugby.
Sunday I will take the dog for a good run,cook a roast and enjoy a bottle of red.

Virginia Hammer no one should have to go through this, life can be so randomly cruel. I wish you all good things.
I know it's not the same, but my best friend was found a few years ago hung suspiciously, police said suicide? Anyway his wife went to counciling and they put her in touch with a group of like minded people who had lost a loved one, she happened to meet someone there just as friends, his wife had killed herself and they found comfort in one another now and live together several years later. I guess the only person who may have an idea what you are going through is someone who is also going through similar, although I am not qualified to say so apologises and please ignore if I'm talking out of turn.

Didn't answer one question......being in bed with and waking up the next morning with a woman you've been in love with for 18 years has no equal.

This time last year was tough. Christmas Day, 2014, I drove back from a family event where I found the outpouring of support overwhelming, and I was ready to drive into a tree. My 11 year old son was in the car, and broke the trance.
The last 6 months has been very different. No tearfulness and lots of progress for both of us. We are strong, and while the 28th has been looming it doesn't hold the fears of last year.
My therapist said time is the healer, and I believe that. I have a wealth of experience to share, so, should anyone need an ear, please whomail me.

VirginiaHam 11:30 - Sorry for your loss, it must be weird living with someone then they're not there anymore?
Having lost my little brother, mum and dad within 3 and a half years my sleep pattern didn't change.

Managing DJ's has fucked my body clock, I struggle to go to bed before 2AM.
Been trying to get to sleep earlier by getting up early but i just fall asleep during the day.
The bodies optimum repair times is between 10PM and 2AM so I'm fucked!

'They' say it takes 3 years before you come to accept the loss of your spouse and start to move on.
Hope you can move on pal- she would have wanted you to, that's for sure.
Anyway, what the fuck do I know? I just wish you all the best.

Been in bed around 10pm for the last 3 years. Wife died of cancer on Feb. 28, 2013 and I feel like I've missed out on decades of sleep.
