I like to stay up til 5 or 6 AM because I can (no strict hours for work). Of course the posts always slow to a trickle during these hours. For those USA members who always stay up way too late, introduce yourself in this thread and tell us why you're up when you should be sleeping.

Haven't been getting much sleep lately. Noticing mental and physical health degradation. Likely result of increased drinking.

I always found a little medical herb helps me to fall asleep, stay asleep and sleep better.

I take melatonin every other day and it helps me fall asleep but not stay asleep. Don't want to become dependent on medicine. Although I noticed that if I took an Advil I would sleep better.

What do you do for a job that doesn't have strict hours?

Turn off all electronics by 10pm, read a book and you'll be sound asleep by midnight.

lol @ all the posts coming in during the day.

I'm CTO / renaissance man at a rather small but successful and multinational company. I'm on good terms with the boss otherwise this wouldn't be happening. Sometimes I have to come in early but it's rare enough that I just stay up.

So do you work 8 hours later in the day? Or just work as needed from home?

Must be nice... I would love to sleep in.

No, I work as needed. There's no point in staying at the office just to burn time and my boss understands that. Usually no more than 4 hours of actual work in a day although it can be way more. I have a ton of personal projects / interests / hobbies that take up the rest of my time.

I almost never work from home unless it's a quick email or editing something.

sure I get what you saying I only take when I think I need it.
Tylenol always have worked for me even from back in the day when I use to stay up all night partying. I would just take couple that would knock me out getting up with no hangover.

This, remove all electronic devices from your room and block out as much light as possible.

My workouts tend to make me tired enough before bed. I had horrible insomnia for the last 7-9 years up until recently.

It's crazy how brittle the modern day iPhone chargers are.



Also, my African neighbors are still making noise at 7AM.

get your back/neck/ears/nose checked.
ASAP!

Even you might not feel any pain in your back/neck area, try this to be 100% sure:

Take a tennis ball and tuck it between your back and a wall, then apply pressure to it by leaning your back to the wall. Then slowly start checking by pressing and moving from side to side, where you have tension in your upper/lower back area.
This should be done inch by inch and very slowly.
As soon as you feel any pain from the rolling tennisball, you have somethinh that is restricted in your back, wich could cause a billion of other health related issues as:
Tinnitus ( ringing, humming ears ), clogged up nose ( somewhere in your body sn infection is breeding ( back ) and causes your body to develope other infections ( clogged nose, sinus )
Result: Insomnia
God bless ya friends!
