How do you have so much time to write. I thought you had a career
These were written some time ago and I don’t need much sleep.
What is your average sleep per 24 hour period, HG? I’m curious. Mine is 8-9 hours.
4 hours.
Thank you for answering, HG. My guess was 2-3. You’re more rested than I thought. No wonder you aren’t tired!
HG
Is it your internal clock that wakes you after fours if sleep, or do you set an alarm? Also do you find yourself able to maintain this all the time or due you eventually find the need to catch up because you’re exhausted?
Apologies HG, should have been four hours of sleep, and do not due. If this comment comes through twice I am sorry, apparently myself and wp didn’t get enough sleep last night. 🙃
I set an alarm if required. I don’t need to catch up but sometimes I may sleep 6 hours.
6 hours oh boy! You really know how to indulge yourself HG. Lol. Your funny! 🙃
Dearest H.G. I find that I am needing less sleep lately. About 5 hours, now. I am not sure that is good for me, but I am not going to worry about it, since I am not forcing myself to sleep less. I think I have finally rested from all the psychological and emotional and incredible exhaustion from my entanglement. It is fun for me to awaken in the middle of the night and see that you are pushing posts through and I can take a moment to respond to readers, that I otherwise would probably have missed. I miss so many, but I try to respond to others as best as I can. But, Narcsite is a well-run colossus and you have an awe-inspiring work ethic.
8-9 hours sleep! That’s a coma.
NA, Sometimes more if I take a nap/s! I wish sleeping was an Olympic sport. I’d win gold. I sleep more than anyone I know. Admittedly, much of it is escape.
God I’m a 10-11 hours per night. Just one of the many reasons I would never cut it as the IPPS of an N. All that purposely waking me up. Get away from me!
Any less and id need an afternoon nap!
AS2016, finally somebody that sleeps more than me. Do you suffer from depression too?
MB,
I have found with depression and a lot of anxiety I cannot sleep. Although I try and at times just like you do it as away to escape it just does not work for me. Do you get to sleep that long?
FM1T, I sleep like the dead. Nobody bothers me since I don’t live little children and no narcs. My dogs wake me to be let out, but I go right back to sleep. I’ve learned to turn off my anxiety and compartmentalize my worries. I put them so far out of my consciousness that I often forget about taking care of them when I need to. In other words, I’ve taught my brain not to worry about things until it’s time. But when it comes time, I’ve still got it locked away. It has caused some issues for me missing deadlines and such. I need to reach a happy medium with this coping mechanism.
MB,
I wish I could turn off my thoughts just long enough to get a good nights sleep, I’m afraid that will never happen. Last night I was up reading quite late and when I finally did stop to try and sleep, as soon as I closed my eyes my mind started racing and just wouldn’t turn off. Apparently at one point it did because when I woke again it was 4:00am. Since I know I must have fell asleep around 1:00am, I just shook my head and got up to sit on the patio, there was no sense in trying to go back to sleep, I knew it wasn’t going to happen. Usually I will check the blog to find any comments I might have missed and find HG pushing through new comments, I always think oh, he’s up early, and then remember if he is in the UK he is five hours ahead! Lol
FM1T, I find that HG is almost always here moderating. (Other than the four hours he sleeps.) That’s why we miss him so much when he goes away! Psst…I have a hunch he’s living in Norway now.
MB
You are right, he seems to be always here watching over everything. I’m sure if SM wanted to be living near her family in Norway, HG would do what ever it takes to make her happy. 🥰
MB—what kind of dogs do you have? I like all dogs but especially cute fluffy ones. I went to a pet store last week and was captivated by a Havanese but I already have three little dogs.
I have two Bichon Frise. They are cute and fluffy. About 14 lbs each
Omg—I have always wanted one. I can’t walk in the pet place again. They have them all the time. It’s a sickness and I think HG needs a little dog.
Oh and while I’m at it—it’s poop scooping time!
