Regarding the hour

[prog]

A weblog from someone with similar sleep patterns as me, but putting some actual research into it, including consulting physicians. One gave the person an actual diagnosis I have not heard of before: Delayed Sleep-Phase Syndrome.

That certainly gives me pause for thought. I was also struck by the writer's description of spending hours lying awake after being sent to bed, as a child. By gar, my own bedtimes were just so, night after night. I haven't thought about it in a long time, but I absolutely remember the truth of it. Have I been shifted forward like this my whole life?

And now that I have a new straw to grasp at, should I try again to do something about it?

Without having a set work schedule, it is easy to "time slip" into PST. In the last several weeks, I have been staying up until 2AM and getting up at 10A. To combat this, as I have in the past, I need the discipline of both an alarm clock and some kind of regular excerise. As I write this, I'm about to head off for a walk.

As for having a busy brain that won't STFU, I find that excerise is the key. It burns off the extra fuel and so starves the brain into quiescence. :-)

Also, cut back on coffee after 6pm. I'm looking at you, diesel-head...
