I've never understood how so e people are able to just put their head down on the pillow and... Go to sleep. Within minutes.
Even when I'm tired, trying to sleep normally involveds at least a half hour argument with my brain to persuade it to at least consider switching off.
@OldGitPhil oh once I'm awake again, I'm awake. Full stop. Doesn't matter if it's 2am or 10am.
These days I don't even bother fighting that. I just get up.
@garius @OldGitPhil I have come to accept that I am a polyphasic sleeper. I usually don't go to bed until I am really exhausted and I have a fairly standard routine which gets me "in the mood" for sleeping. I am asleep fairly quickly. When I wake in the middle of the night, I get up and do something and then don't try to go to bed until I get the signals that I am ready to sleep again.
I have structured my life/work to accommodate this. I know others aren't as lucky.
