I felt tired and crappy all day but now it's 11 p.m. and I'm wide awake. It'd be ok if I went to school at night or something, but I don't. Anybody else have this problem? :skull:

That is me exactly. I sleep best when the sun is up and love being up at night.

It doesn't do me any good because of my work schedule but there is not much i can do.

Maybe get a night job? Or exercise a heap during the day to make sure you're buggered when it's night time.

My sleep schedule is... erratic to say the least. I typically prefer being up at night though, since it gives me the peace and quiet I need to concentrate on things. This has caused me a lot of problems over the years, since society expects me to be awake during the day and asleep at night.

I've had a TON of nights just like this. I'll barely get any sleep the night before, and slog through the day, then by the time late night hits, I'll be wide awake again, and not go to bed until 5am or something crazy like that. Sometimes I'll even be awake well into the next morning, up until noon even! I think this is what they call hitting your "second wind".

You're worried about being wide awake at 11pm? I wish I had that worry. :cry:

I guess it's different with experience, I work nights.

I read where our melatonin levels are messed up --- i usually wake up 2:45AM and go out to the deck look at the stars for a while or do something constructive for 1-2 hrs then back to bed.
