Re: Are the dark nights making a difference....


I've always been a night person - I'm awful in the morning, don't even look at me until I've caffiened up and have been awake for at least an hour.

So - I don't notice being more tired, just don't get as much outside work done so have to work twice as hard during the daylight!!!!

I think the longer nights do affect how you feel, I start yawning round about 10ish!

Well, I'm in bed just now. Just about to log off and then will read for a while. Usually go to bed about 1130pm.

Not noticed getting tired earlier.

Re: Are the dark nights making a difference....


It's the time of life Moli, with me at least. I used to sleep so well but now I'm awake at anything from 3.30 through to 6.00 and just dozing off when the alarm goes off at 7.00, so basically I'm tired most of the time so I can't confirm either way whether its the darker nights.

Re: Are the dark nights making a difference....


I'm a night person; hate to go to bed. Usually in bed at 11 pm to watch the late night news, then read till about 12:30 am. But cannot sleep as late as I'd like now, and used to do; up about 8 am. I'm refreshed and not tired, but don't have the energy I once had...attribute that to ageing! Really no difference between the seasons .....
