    I normally find reading tips on how to sleep better does the trick for me.

    Am I the only one who finds that these two points contradict each other? Most of my exercise comes while looking at the computer late at night :bandit:

    in my adult life, without waking up, I would say 1 1/2-2 hours. must be a habit from waiting for someone to wake me to go on gun piquet and has been inbuilt I think in my brain, never got over it

    Only ever did massive 8 hour sleeps when I was a kid, nowadays 4 hours is about the max I'll get in a night, can't sleep any longer, and has the downside that I always need to nap on the crapper at work at lunchtime.

    Just came back from Berlin a week ago with the lads, over 5 days we all got an accumulative 10 hours sleep (the Germans know how to party), came back last Saturday went straight from the airport to footy then went home fell asleep watching the Liverpool 4-1 Leicester game on the sofa and woke up in my bed at 13.00 the next day, still no idea how I got to bed!

    Went through a period of working out twice a day, found myself leaving the Mrs on the sofa and going bed regularly at 7:30 for a 6 am wake up. Felt so much better for it, probably the working out as well as the sleep. The weight training defo knocked it out of me more than say an hours cardio

    This is true.
    But for those of is who like 'reading' 'readers wives'.......... (Tash how's things mate?).... it can have the opposite effect.

    I'm on day 3 now with flu and codiene is the only thing that's working, however I'm beginning to think I should have dropped 40 mg of diabanol the past few days and not injected 400 mg of rest 400 today
