                  I'm an incurable insomniac and have always had difficulty sleeping, so I spend my time listening to the owls, and the cows in the fields across the railway down the road ... they've got insomnia too !

                    When I said that I should have expanded on it.

                    I average no more than two or three hours a night. I definitely do not have insomnia as I just never have needed any more sleep (except when ill - which is not often :fingers crossed:) and my parents told me I was a 'bloody nuisance' as a kid. I was not allowed to leave my bedroom before 6 a.m. but had toys in there to keep me busy. I never sleep during the day.

                      I work a 3 shift system so after 7 nights I'm used to sleeping in the day but then I change to working afternoons finishing at 2200 get used to that and all change I'm getting up at 0500 so although I would love to sleep it's difficult

                        I'm happy to report that it did eventually clear up and I'm now sleeping soundly again!
