ok doing this door work is proper messing with my sleep patterns, thurs fri and sat im up till maybe 9 am when i can get a bus home which is a bit shit. tried to not sleep till that night but i end up feeling really fucked up.
🙁
Not sure what’ll work for me now, but when I was at uni and up till 6-9am, I found the best thing was to go have a power nap, about 2hrs, and then get up and get on with my day. Sleeping longer just messes you up and wastes the day, not sleeping at all let’s you feel okay during the day but come 8pm you’re knackered
well, worked sunday night went to be last night at about 12.30 am, woke up at 2. 30 am. this isnt good and im feeling like a mess. any good sleeping pills about that wont leave me feeling mashed the next day? 😥
Here’s a few websites that might help Munkee:
Some advice on irregular sleep patterns
These links are all about jet lag, but that’s very similar to what you’re experiencing.
keep ya nose clean of powder.. that should sort the trick 😉
also .. sterogen 15 *aka travel sickness pill* knocks me out and makes me all calm before getting on a plane.. might work for sleeptime 😀
2 syndol knocks me out completly but tablets should not be abbused for this matter.. there really for tense headaches 😀
havent been near any powder in a while so that not the problem 😀 😆
do i need a pescription for those tablets insane?
hehe
errrm no mate.. over the counter stuff.. I wouldnt go and buy em for your purpose, that woud be wrong!! just letting ya know they had drowsy effects.. them herbal sleepless nights make me a lil drowsy too.. I have to take a few though and you aint supposed to tke em more than a week
Wait till Doc see’s this and hopefully he’ll be able to advise
Hactually, have you thought of consulting your own GP.. I myself think its just gonna take time to adjust ya clock.. it would be the same for me if I suddenly had to start doing nights..
just hang in there and stay pill free
yeah i spoke to my doc today and he recomended melatonin but that dosent help keep me awake till a good time to go to sleep. anyway iv orderd some of that over the internet and baught some pro pluse to keep me awake as long as possible so i can hopefully sleep normally tonight, back at work on thursday though so my sleep paterns are going to be fucked again 🙁
