Granddaughter is picking me up tomorrow at 9 to go to my stepdaughter’s for the day. Can I sleep ? -heck can I sleep. Feel wide awake . It would be just typical for me to go off hours later and oversleep. Guess I’ll have to stay awake and see the night through. The mind can choose to play silly buggers with your sleep pattern at the most inopportune of times.

Hello my fellow Brit! The term "Sod's Law" is something that is completely a foreign language to Americans, so the majority of this site won't understand what you mean. One time I got verbally attacked here by Americans for using the term "Sod's Law", as though I was speaking double dutch. But don't worry, as a Brit myself, I understand what you mean.

Go Brits!! :D

Anyway, about your post...maybe it's because you have a plan early in the morning is why you cannot sleep. That happens to me too. If I've got to be up and ready at a certain time, I have trouble getting to sleep, and I'm generally a good sleeper.

Sod's law = Murphy's law.

There you go. Fixed.

Sod's law still affects you even if you don't know what it means.

@Joe90. You're right. My sleep is never good when I know I have to be up at a certain time.
