Good Morning, Good Mor-hor-hor-ning....

Signs I am getting OLD:

* I had a late night on Sat night (stoooppid School Production) and got to bed at 2am.
* For some reason I HAD to finish a dumb-arse Robert Ludlum 'novel' on Sun night and finally went to sleep around 1am

YESTERDAY I COULD NOT KEEP MY EYES OPEN!
(Like for real - driving home I was all fazing in and out (that may have been Richard Glover's fault though) - got home, went to get changed while MrB was cooking tea (well he's on holidays BLUDGER!) and woke up 45 minutes later. Bugger. Then managed to cut my finger 3 times while washing up and scalded myself while filling hot water bottles for twins)

FFS! 1am isn't even late and I can't keep my shit together! I obviously have got out of practice and need to rebuild my 'staying up late' stamina....

But how to do this? I need help here guys!

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Take a leaf out of Ben Cousins book?

I have no idea. I developed mine through lots of wild partying abroad. I came home with a severe hang over.

But then it faded again a few months later. It's a very cruel world.

After the "dinner party" on Friday night I became convinced I had toxic shock syndrome, massive personal panic ensued and I slept about 90 minutes before Grizzlewick woke me up.

I'm feeling remarkably chipper all things considered.

I think it's practice - the more you stay up late the more you can do it. Or that's my theory anyhoo.

Hang on, you have two year old twins and lack of sleep is some sort of novelty around your place?

Wow.

Your best bet for not feeling crap is to not wake up till midday every day... you know, like a student.

Should be no problem right?

Buy the twins a Wii or something.

A famous Briton once claimed she could live on 3 hours' sleep per night.

So it can be done.

Although you might find yourself dismantling the welfare state and stealing children's milk as a side-effect.

(Joke with limited meaning outside Britain, sorry.)

rosanna - so you're telling me no amount of practice is going to get me back to those heady days of all-nighters and 9am lectures? Bummer. Although HEE! No lectures, so I'm happy...

GW - Ha! I've had one of those experiences... positive that I've got some virus that is causing the vomiting and in no way connected to the copious amounts of Red Wine I may or may not have drunk...

INC - Broken sleep is a completely different beast to NO SLEEP AT ALL. And shush - don't jinx me- they've been remarkably good at sleeping of late.

Chris - I do believe you have found the solution! I cannot be a dirty stop-out when I have all these responsibilities. Time to ditch the family I reckon...
And I get the Thatcher reference. After all, I am in Australia as a Thatcherite refugee...

Damn! Why didn't I think of that before.... She is my Obi Wan of the Facebook kingdom as it is, so she'd most certainly the one whose knee I should be sitting at to learn the art of Staying Up Late (and surviving).
