“I find it interesting because I can’t change my pattern and I want to.”

Try sleeping with the lights on. A doctor friend of mine once told me a way to get time and body in sync quickly. Humans are photo acuitive. we sense light even when asleep. Partly from this data we set our internal clocks. One of the ways to get over jet lag is to sleep the first night in a strange place with the lights on. (Yes you can do it.) The body will rest, and upon waking your body clock begins to set to the time you woke up as your ‘normal’ time. Thus, your sleep times and wake times are shifted to a new schedule. This has worked for me over the last forty years traveling for companies that sent me hither and yon (often on a whim I thought!) It has given me a chance to adjust far easier then just waking up and trying to convince my clock to shift through rote.

Sorry I have not been in the Lair. Been staying off my feet.

Meg, thank you for the gorgeous picture.

Lady, yes my sleep patterns are skewed again especially when I crash early I then wake early.

Johnn, I have a torn meniscus muscle in my knee. It gets very painful at times.

See you all tomorrow. ;)

Hi Kathy, you get some sleep. *HUGS*

NYA, hope your day went well and your evening is restful.
