I am an insomniac. I rarely feel tired and when I DO feel tired if I can't lie down right then- forget it- it's gone.
Normally I get home from work between 12:30am and 1:00am and I cannot fall asleep. Which means I'm awake until all hours of the morning and once I do fall asleep I only sleep about 4 hours.
The last two Sundays I've been on a day shift going in at Noon and leaving between 6-7:00pm. In no way did these shifts interupt my big 4 hours of sleep or anything. But for some reason when I get home from these shifts I fall out hard. Yesterday I got home about 6:20pm and was in a seriously DEEP sleep by 8:00pm. After these shifts I usually can't even remember going to bed. Of course, my computer desk is located exactly one step from the bed so maybe I fall asleep at the desk and sleepstep/fall onto the bed- which would explain why I wake up long wise across the bed instead of end to end...
Last night I woke up around midnight and felt like a Mac truck had mauled me but then was wide awake until almost 6:00am. Apparently, the only reason I woke up was because Rio jumped on the bed and ran me over a couple of times. I don't remember it- I was asleep.
The Sunday before I slept around 6 hours- much longer than normal for me.
