[Johnch]

I sometimes have problems getting to sleep
Even with the med's to help me sleep

So I sometimes lurk here and other forums just to kill time

Yep not sleeping for a few nights is't fun

[fryboy]

i often wake in the middle of the nite and cant return to sleep but i suppose i'm also as guilty as the first poster lolz

but to be fair it prolly reads that in my time zone which is CST , i never make coffee until after 5 am however so ....nor rarely eat before that so

[Ed Barrett]

I have a plate in my back, and some nights it bothers me and I'm up til it stops hurting.

[ACrowe25]

12:44,

Studying for a physical chemistry exam. Why? So I can pass my exam Tuesday :p Why? So I can slack later in the semester allowing more casting time (seriously, that's what I'm looking forward to).

Why slack? Because I'm already accepted to graduate school, just need to finish the last 2 classes of my degree to start next fall.

ACrowe25 what Physical Chem exam answers are you finding on Cast Boolits?

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

I was watching movies tonight til just a few minutes ago, but normally I'm sleeping during zero dark hours.

My kitchen light just started flickering...I better turn off the radio "coast to coast".

[MaryB]

What am I doing? My nightly pass thru my favorite site before I head to bed. I used to work 4 to midnights and was used to going to bed when the sun was coming up.

[merlin101]

I'm up till atleast 0300 every morning. I drive a truck and my run starts at 1500 and I get home about 0300-0330, then look here in S&S section to see what deals I missed.

[wlc]

ooh, can I play? I guess I'll have to come back later as its only 9:21pm here now, but its after midnight on the east coast.... I'm usually up till at least 2am our time though.

[phantom15]

I find a lot more time when I'm on nights...more peaceful also.

[Ajax]

i just have trouble sleeping sometimes. So i come here and just read. Never can have too much knowledge.

[coleman]

Work 3rd shift.
Supervisor, some night I have a lot of time some I don't.
I like 3rd shift most nights very quite, This way when I get home and the wife gone I get the whole bed to my self!

[uscra112]

Delayed Sleep Pattern Syndrome. Yes, there's a medical term for my condition. Absent any outside forces, such as having a work schedule, I go to sleep about 4 AM, wake for a short while at 8, then sleep 'til noon. I endured 40 years of suppressing my symptoms, and now that I'm retired I'm gonna revel in them.

[Littleton Shot Maker]

0245:
answering old emails that the spam filter pulled aside.
Holy molly, some much junk in those emails these days.
I just won the lottery in the UK all I have to claim my winning is to give this person that emailed me my name, age, gender, bank account #, address, picture id, etc.......... oh, wait........

[Butler Ford]

2:55, Nobody needs more than 4 hrs. of sleep. Hadn't thought about eating, gonna make coffee and quit smoking 5 years ago.

BF

[Newtire]

Back hurts, took my NSAID and may as well read a little here until I either just stay up and start work or go back to sawing logs.

[Three-Fifty-Seven]

Couldn't sleep ... Haven't eaten or drank anything yet ... Don't smoke!

[DRNurse1]

LOL It is 28:35 Sunday 2 February 2014 on my planet. Can I play, too? Starting out a bit goofy then working night shift for 35 years really changes one's perspective. I put the OCD folks on edge when I say "Good Morning" to them at 1900, but I just cannot help myself!

Just finished a BIG bowl of homemade chilli and rice, working on my 4th coffee (the one I drink on my way to bed) and perusing all the wonders and amazements in the world of Cast Boolits.

[possom813]

Just finished accounting homework for the weekend, and started in on physics.

Ate a $5 burrito earlier, and currently drinking an iced down diet coke while trying to find my circle drawing utensil.

[plmitch]

4:28-drinking black tea, chemos beating me up, hard to get any rest.

I honestly wonder if I suffer from the same thing. My natural body clock tells me to go to sleep around 2 or 3 am and sleep till 9 or 10 am. Always has. I always feel better when I can follow what my body wants to do as far as sleep instead of having to go to bed and get up earlier. I usually don't sleep as well or feel rested.

[429421Cowboy]

12:20 here now, just put up the business writing homework for the night, enjoying an ice cold Great Falls Select pale ale while The Doors pound "The End" into my brain, had a steak and a smoked baked potato earlier. Back on campus at 7:30 tomorrow! Not smoking anything, pretty much done with that habit, but am savoring a nice pinch of Taylor's Pride in my cheek.

[starmac]

What time zone are we talking.

[gandydancer]

Delayed Sleep Pattern Syndrome? sounds like me. 3:am here virginia time.going to bed now still will not fall asleep until about 5:am sleep untill 8:30 am back to bed until
11/11/30 wake up and feel worse then if i stayed up. oh well.

[OeldeWolf]

Well, it is 01:00 local. I have been having problems with the asthma lately, and the fibro and rheumatiz are flaring up. So I fell asleep about 18:00, and woke up about 21:30.

I am checking out the site a little, while taking a breathing treatment. I will then take my pills, and go back to sleep. Oh, found a short anime (10 episodes) called Upotte!! It is about a middle school where all the female students are actually assault rifles. It is kind of fun. The character L85 keeps ending up in the nurse's station getting repaired...

[Randy C]

Java let the dog out feed animals make a pot for my wife o I'm here now it's time for 2 hr. drive to work. 3.15 am

[gspgundog]

It is 0325 here in the burbs of Chiraq, got off work about 0130. Had my dinner which was meatloaf with Texas BBQ rub mixed in for a little kick and potatoes, peas. Sitting here checking out the post while drinking diet Pepsi. Figure when I finish here will read some and hit the sack by 0500. Then it up by noon to do it all over again until June 6th when I retire. Then it is play with grandson, fish, cast boolits, reload, shoot and repeat until such time that I assume room temp. Lol

[Artful]

I think you mean ground tempature - 2:42am local - back/neck - taking couple of pain med's wait half an hour and try to go back to bed to be up by and on the road by 6:30 am.

[Socal147]

Hello

[Jupiter7]

Work swing shift, alternating days to nights every 28days. 8-8.... I was handling molten glass with dishgloves(seriously) about an hour ago. Now controlling the 4000Kw electric and gas/oxy furnace. Just had coffee and a few cigarettes...

[facetious]

just getting home from work. my shift is 8:00pm to 2:00am but if we get every thing don thy let us go home early. So I end up looking at stuff like this or reading till I wind down and go to bed.

just had some toast and jelly and a sip of Jack that I found on the front porch a few weeks a go. we had some heavy wet snow, about six inches, so i got out the old snow blower and did my drive and walk. I was having fun so i did the walk to the ends of the street and the gal's next doors drive. then did the guys across the street. his wife just had a kid so don't see him out much so i did his to give him more time for what ever. any way one day i found a package on the porch with a six pack of bud and a pint of jack with a thank you note for doing the walk.

[HighHook]

[Socal147]

Good morning fellow gunners,

Well, you wake up in the mornin',
You hear the work bell ring,
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.
But you better not complain, boy,
You get in trouble with the man.

[searcher4851]

1:02 AM local time. Cleaning up some new gun parts after they've been soaking in degreaser for a while.
Drinking diet Pepsi and smoking camels. Then off to bed.

[alg3205]

I usually get up around 2:00 a.m. to check the weather, check the email. Back to bed at 2:30.

[Newtire]

Just finished sizing some 7mm RCBS Boulette Silhouettes No real information on the Internet on fireforming a .30-06 into .280 Rem., using cast boolits. No real information On Internet so will be posting on this subject as soon as the snow stops and I can get to the range.

[TXGunNut]

1:53 local time. Did a bit of loading earlier, then a bit of research. Read awhile here after supper and then a spaghetti western. Got a lot of things on my mind and plenty of wine so may be up for awhile.
When I was in college I did my best writing in the wee hours. Never figured out why. I can function at any hour but when I sleep nights I'm always up & around at least for a little while during the wee hours.

[LUBEDUDE]

I'm always up at this time. Just can't sleep before 5-6am.

[AlaskanGuy]

Watching the olympics

[2wheelDuke]

I'm also watching the olympics. I'm usually not off work until almost midnight anyway.

[mikeym1a]

0103 Eastern time. Still sitting at this machine when I should have been to bed 2 hours ago. But, got to reading the posts, and the time has slipped by. I may have bought myself some J-words and some brass, though. Waiting to hear from the vendor. Wish my neck would stop hurting. Was diagnosed with 'severe muscle strain' in my neck this past August. My neck muscles were to tight that my scalp hurt. Late at night, I feel it. Time for some menthol muscle rub. Coffee is cold, but, need to be abed, have stuff to do tomorrow, if it doesn't snow too much. It was flurrying while I was out smelting the last of my COWW today. 104lbs gross. 77lbs of cleaned ingots. Haven't smelted the SOWW, yet. Probably about 5 lbs of that. Very little zinc this time, and only a lb or two of FE. Time to turn off the surf music and get to bed. Hope all are enjoying the 'morning'..................8-)

[elkhuntfever]

Good morning, couldn't sleep so here I am. Two places I always visit are Facebook to see how my natural family are doing all around the US and Cast Boolits to see how my extended family are doing. It is 2 AM here.

[smokesahoy]

I'm an early bird that works graves at a hospital. 220est now but I'll be up till 0700 take a nap and hopefully back to bed by 2300 so I can be up by 6 for the rest of the week. I do this every week.

[Socal147]

Working night shift to help out a coworker. Today was a good day. Reloaded some 45/70 and hung out at home with the dogs. Tonight ..... I have six hours to go. Nothing exciting to talk about in the eating drinking or smoking arenas. LoL

[bikerbeans]

Eating a banana and wishing it was warm enough today to go to the gun range.

[Socal147]

Only 52 here. Kind of chilly.

[Rangefinder]

2:01 am... Drinking? Nothing. A Hot Buttered Rum would be nice though. Smoking? Tobacco in about 5 minutes. Doing? Well, sitting in front of the stupid computer thinking "I wish I was tired, because I'm liable to be in about 2 1/2 hours when my alarm goes off."

[2wheelDuke]

0255 here. Another sleepless night, working an overnight security gig. I'm mostly just waiting for something to go down.

[Bad Water Bill]

That sounds like a plan.

I got the taste earlier this week and tried the new (only) place in town.

It was so bad I threw the whole Quart into the yard for the critters to enjoy.

Who would believe not a cat,dog,coon,possum or anything else is willing to touch it.

Never had them turn up their noses in over 40 years.

Now tell the truth Recluse.

You are up this early so you can finish a few more pages of your latest "BEST SELLING BOOK" without distractions.:kidding:

Pull up a rocker and enjoy another cup of coffee.

00:50 here, EST. Spent a few hours playing Zelda, Skyward Sword. Took a break and have been perusing the forum. Trying to decide whether to continue playing the Wii or going to bed. 10 degrees here right now, and looking to be basically cold for the next two weeks. Thanks Al.

[GaryN]

0009 here. 32 degrees outside. I guess we've been stealing everyone's warm. We are usually buried in snow and cold. This year not much snow. It got cold real early and then mellowed. Snow's all melted now. Just ate supper. Hamburgers with strawberry shortcake. All homemade.

[Just Duke]

Sleep is for mortals......

[LaPoint]

0225 here. I see that it has warmed up to -8F from a low of -11 at 2100 last night. I've checked the pellet stove and am now watching Alaska: The Last Frontier. The dog just woke up and is insisting that I scratch him behind the ears. Why am I up this morning? I'd like to know!

[DRNurse1]

2130 tonight and researching ways to beat the Banker out of some $$. I know it is early but, pardon me Alan and Jimmy, "it is 0400 somewhere."

Wrecked my ride 10 days ago and have my IRS 'refund' and the insurance check to put to better use. What happened to the price of cars and trucks??? Only bought one new vehicle ever---1976 Dodge Dart. Never really paid much attention to the ads etc but, holy hanna, these folks are asking a lot for some pretty pedestrian vehicles! Think we are going to go for a new ride versus the used ones...just hard to turn over all that $$$ to loose 1/3 driving it off the lot.

I hear you brother. I want a new truck. Mine is getting pretty well worn out. I just about had a seizure when I saw the sticker on one that caught my attention. $50K!!

Not even a diesel!

[Bad Water Bill]

Almost any new car today costs more than my house did.

And it ain't even 0000 here by a loooong shot so I am going back to bed.:)

[MaryB]

Reason I bought a 2001 Ford F150 with the insurance money from my car... $3995 and only 127k miles. 5.4l engine, special package so nice interior and power everything. Sure some dents and scratches and a little rust. I can live with that for the next 100k miles it should be good for.

[Just Duke]

I'm up if anyone want's to chat.

[Old School Big Bore]

Just got home. Two of my days are 0800/1600 and the other three are 1600/0000. Drank a swallow of juice with my PM gaggle of pills. Contemplating an adult beverage but I'll be up at 0700 to zoom the 45 miles to the hospital to sit with Teresa (AKA SWMBO). At least I'm off the next two days. Doing my post-work unwinding visit to CB land. Can't visit here much whilst workin bcz my office has wheels (and lights and siren and lots of firearms & ammunition). And yes I had Coast to Coast on the blower on the way home. Great thread!

Timber goes to bed for 20 minutes or so, then comes back into the living room and gives us a look like, well, come on, it's bed time. He doesn't like going to bed alone.

just waiting for my thigh to stop hurting. Sometimes the autoinject hurts, and I have to wait a bit before I can get to sleep. Maybe I will get better at this in time. :)

Oh, and I am reading on the forum here, of course. :) the one bright part of being awake at this time of the morning.

I hear you brother. I want a new truck. Mine is getting pretty well worn out. I just about had a seizure when I saw the sticker on one that caught my attention. $50K!!

You are not kidding. I saw a typical truck in the lot for over 50K. I paid $56K for the house I'm sitting in and 1 acre. Even used cars are crazy priced. Oh yeah, I'm here because I work 2cd and when I get home I have a brandy and read the news and stuff to wind down before bed.
