i'm definitely not a morning person. i need to get up at 5.30 for my 7 a.m. start. i'm overly tired right now :)D) yet I'm not feeling sleepy. being that there have been some threads on shift work recently, i was just wondering:

is it better to go to bed only when you know you're going to fall asleep? or is it a good idea to still lie down and fall asleep a few hours later?

my usual bed time is 9.30 but then i'll fall asleep and wake up a few times in the night; say at 2 and 3. yet if i go to bed at 11.30 or so, then i fall asleep right away but am absolutely kicking and screaming to get out of bed come 5.30. it's a catch-22!

advice?

I need to go to sleep, but I was laughing at something funny earlier and now I can't. Damn! And I have to be up early tomorrow.

I need to get up at 7, so I go to bed between 10 and midnight. Usually I need the alarm to wake me though...

You are hereby dared to "stay up again tonight! :)".... what are the stakes of this wager?

yeah somedays I've got to wake up early but the 11:00 pm simpsons and seinfeld after prevent me from going to sleep anytime before midnight. After all that laughing it's hard to sleep but even harder to miss a simpsons episode I've seen 10 times over. :)
