Isn't sleep the greatest thing and the worst thing, i either have too much or too little, for example i got up at 7 this morning, watched tv posted a little, made breakfeast, but by 11 i had to have a lie down cus i was exhausted and so i had another hours kip.

any ideas how i can have less sleep and not need to sleep after 4 hours of doing nothing?

There's no getting away from it sandy, but sleep is cool - hell I'm asleep right now.

I've heard of walking (i've done that before apparently) but never typing in my sleep, impressive, so very impressive.

Take a nap in between.

And then there are those pecky things like working.

I was up at 7, at my desk at 7:10. Breakfast at 9, more work until 1pm, then thought I better have a shower and get dressed.

LOL, I love having my office at home.

i'm toying with the idea of working from home, sleep when you want, work when you want, ah tv, Neighbours, sleep, job insecurity, no money. fantastic.

I don't think I'd like working at home...I tend to get depressed because I don't see anyone.

That would be called a social life. To be honest the last people I would want to spend my downtime with are those from work.

I keep my friends and my work seperate, otherwise you just spend your social time discussing what went on in the office.

While I can see your point I still need some social interaction at work.

Depends on the job I guess. Most of my work collegues don't even work in the same part of the country as I do so being in the office was pretty pointless.

The advantages for me are immense,
No clock to punch
No commute
Start when I want
Lunch when I want
Finish when I want
Free Phone, Data and Fax Lines
All I have to do is put in at least 37 hours a week and everyone is happy.

Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking?

Yes we know RC...your life is soooooooooooo wonderful

I"m glad you're happy but I think for alot of people telecommuting can be a double edge sword..depending on how much contact and face time you have with your boss. I think you could tend to be overlooked because you're not "there".

But hey, if it works for you then it works for you..that's what's important.

Yep, it is now.

Do I detect a hint of jealousy, tell us, how was the drive to work this morning?

Personally I'll take more of seeing the people I wanna see and less of seeing the ones I don't wanna any day.

As for being overlook. Well I work in a company that has embraced the tele-commuter principle so everyone is in the same boat. Can't be that bad, they gave me a raise just a few weeks before Christmas so I don't feel over looked.

Yes, life is certainly fine.

Jealousy? Not at all..
I need my drive to wake up...I've found that if I don't get enough transition time between home and work and get to listen to the radio then I tend to feel a little rushed..

I'm glad it's working out for you....and I'd expect them to give you a hefty end of the year raise for what you do for them...just make sure they don't forget about you the rest of the year..if you know what I mean.

Well, they're giving me a better car in August.
(If I decide to stay, which I probably will)

Interesting about the transition between sleep and work though. I'm the opposite, once I'm out of bed then everything just kicks in. It's the bit between the alarm going off and pulling back the duvet that I have trouble with...

I like sleeping

Yes, it's a pity you don't do more of it...

I don't think that's possible.

If I was asleep any more than I am now, I'd be dead.

See, everything has an upside.

Hmm, I walked right into that one.

Need Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Long train journey yesterday, up ALL night doing revision. Exam at 9 o'clock this morning. Spent all afternoon lugging boxes of books up flights of stairs. Now I have to eat, revise for another exam and if I am lucky get some sleep too. Think I'm gonna die. Lets see. I have now been up for 35 hours! Oh my god! I used to do this sort of thing at the drop of a pin when I was 16. I just can't do it any more! NEED SLEEP!

Then sleep! Quite an easy solution, if you ask me!

I can't! Not yet! lIKE i SAID, at the moment I am eating and then I have to revise some more

Well, you're eating a poison apple, which will put you to sleep.

No I was eating mash potato actually. Right got to go. Flow diagrams to be drawn and learnt!

Good luck. If it were me, I'd put sleep over work. But maybe that's why I got laid off!

It's hatefull!
I'm sleepy at 0 o'clock, and I'm getting up at 7, sleepy till 12 o'clock.
Awake from 12 AM till 5 PM
and then from 5 till 7 PM grumpy, from 7 till midnight grumpy

You're always grumpy, yers.

yes, between 5 till midnight, can't you read?

Yes, I can read. But you are always grumpy

I am totally and utterly sick of sleep in any form at all.

That's because you drink too much coffee.

Don't like coffee. Or tea, or cola.

Okay. What the hell. You don't like coffee, tea, soda, booze.

What do you drink? Do you hate milk, water, juice?

You're not a vampire are you, Ush? You don't drink blood, do you?

No, my brother is a vampire though.

I like Lucozade! Or Gatorade if I am Stateside.

And Orange Juice. And Sprite.

Hate milk but like water!

Ush, my friend, you need to change your diet. You need milk. It's one of the most important things you can put into your body.

And Sprite is a soda. We call it 'pop' here.

My diet is fine, thanks. Milk gives me the runs, anyway.

you don't like cola but you like sprite?

ick, no milk for Ush, dammit

definitly on topic!
Sleep, let see: I'M GRUMPY, but NOT old, mind you!

You old crabby bastard!

hmmm crab...

You have crabs?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuw!

But they're completely different.....

*wakes up*
Oh, hi.

Go back to sleep and dream about the dull thuding sound of edam on windmill.

But.... but.... but.... I'll be on topic then.

its the price you have to pay

Forget it. I'm staying awake.
