Night fell (thud) a while ago

but I am still awake. This is all part of my new plan to sleep late into friday morning so I am time shifted enough that I don't start to flag at three thirty or so on Saturday morning. What 'they' say about everything being at its lowest ebb around three to four in the morning is so true. It is the time I start to wonder why in the world I ever thought doing an overnight DJ show would be really cool. I get convinced that I am the only soul awake and no one's listening so I might as well be sleeping! My response to those internal nay sayers is to put on back-to- back uptempo beats and literally dance around the studio to get my blood to singing and seething through my veins again.

Once past four I am always fine and the drive home with the rising sun at my back is quite amazing. Once I get home and have something to eat it is interesting to feel the system shutting down. Last week I sat reading for a while and never noticed when I slipped into sleep. I had been planning to go down to the beach for an a.m. swim but I think that is probably beyond me UNLESS I can be day shifted so my early morning feels akin to an evening back home after work...thus I am awake now, typing reasonably coherent fragments (well they seem that way to me, right now)to keep myself functional for another couple of hours. There was a time when I thought nothing of going without sleep for days on end, full days, full nights that spilled one into another and then I'd crash for 24 to 36 hours and sleep the clock around and wake renewed and do it all again. Now I find my eyes half-mast at half past nine to open 8 hours later without a clock. The grown ups never warn you what happens as you get older. They never mention that you still feel 17 (or twelve) and just can't do the things you could when that age was actual - grown ups really suck! Okay made it to midnight!
