[QUOTE="kattriss, post: 645740, member: 18718"] My sleep patterns have always been very strange, but I've led a stressful life so it's not surprising. My days are typically chaotic with my difficult child and easy child/difficult child, my job does not have normal set hours, and I've been in college for the last 10 years on and off. Since I rarely get a break during the day (I cyber my kids among everything else), I don't have a lot of ME time during normal waking hours. So my brain tends to stay on all night. When I do sleep, it's often in small chunks. Eventually it catches up with me and I go days hibernating. I should also mention that I have battled depression and anxiety most of my life and deal with seasonal affective disorder (grew up in FL, now live in PA...my body does not like this). So I've come to terms with my wacky sleep patterns. The best advice I can provide is to enjoy whatever rest you can get, even if you sleep for 11 hours straight. It's your body's way of recharging and repairing the damage from the stress you endure. [/QUOTE]
