BOF Posted May 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2015 The fact that an attempt to get an early night is completely futile because there will be at least 3 TVs within earshot being watched by people who don't fancy an early night :-( Ffffffuuuuuuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 26, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2015 I've never had a problem with that sort of stuff I can sleep almost anywhere with any amount of noise. Same. In fact I hardly ever go to sleep without my TV on or music playing or a podcast or something. I think it helps me just switch off straight away. Almost like hypnosis or something.

BOF Posted May 26, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 26, 2015 I need silence and as dark as possible, preferably pitch. It's a pain in the arse actually, because it means I struggle to sleep in non-ideal situations unless I'm drunk or totally exhausted. To make matters worse I'm also a very light sleeper, owing to the fact that I've been on-call for work for the past 17 years (non-continuous ) so I'm used to almost sleeping with one eye open. Luckily I don't need an awful lot of sleep and can get bye comfortably on anything from 5 to 6hrs a night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm pretty much the worst sleeper ever. I have to feel completely exhausted,be in my own bed and fall asleep pretty much immediately. If one of those 3 things doesn't happen, chances are I will be up all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I never need an alarm clock either, if I need to be up at a certain time (say I'm getting up at 2am for the boxing) I just go to sleep as normal and wake up about 15 minutes before I need to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably awake before my alarm clock goes off most mornings but I'd never be brave enough to not set one, because that'd be the morning I'd blissfully snooze 'til midday.

leemond2008 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I don't set it for work, weekdays I'm rarely up any later than 6:30 and I don't need to leave home until about 8:20 to get into work for 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 26, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think Mike is one of these magical non-alarm clock people too! I bet more people would be able to do it if they needed to. I know if I need to wake up early then I tend to wake up before my alarm. I think they spoke about it on QI. The theory is that you actually "wake up" loads of times during the night, but you're not really fully concious and you can't remember it when you actually properly wake up. But if you need to get up early then when you hit that little patch of semi conciousness you snap yourself out of it because you know you need to be up.

I wake at 4:43 & 7:40 350 days a year I would say, it's an absolute nightmare on weekends or if I've been out the night before. I'm a good man to nap on a Sunday.

Stevo985 Posted May 26, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2015 I nearly always wake up in the night these days, usually to piss (what an old man thing to say!) Luckily I'm one of those who doesn't struggle to get back to sleep, so I actually quite like it. I love thinking "ahhh, still 3 hours until I need to get up!"

tonyh29 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 my top tip for making sure I don't over sleep when i have to get up early is not to fall asleep at all , it's obviously a default mechanism and a bloody annoying one at that my alarm works with out fail every day I set it yet throw a 5 am start into the mix and I become paranoid the alarm wont go off and thus I lay there awake and checking the time every 20 mins or so , plus I find I usually fall asleep probably about 7 minutes before the poxy alarm is due to go off ... grrrrrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glutan free is up there with fat free in regards to taking a product and stuffing it full of stuff far far worse for you and convincing people it's better for you Glutan free is kinda pointless though it's designed for people that don't want to be left out when having conversations with people that say I can't eat nuts or I'll die ( yeah right ) and no other reason ....

tonyh29 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 don't I feel bad for going all Katie Hopkins and not taking the post seriously ..my bad , sorry the reading up I did some time back seemed to suggest the cure for nut allergies ( for example) was to introduce small amounts of nuts into the persons food and gradually increase it , kinda makes sense as that's how a lot of vaccinations work , is that what they will try with your son ?

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted May 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2015 Doctor Tony suggests: 'If your kid has a life threatening nut allergy, why not resolve the situation by giving them nuts.' Being struck off in 2007 looks less of a mystery now, doesn't it. Also, why did I always have to undress? How does us both being naked help diagnose a blocked ear? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 26, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) This flag getting banned from Wembley by the FA. It wouldn't be an issue if it was denied first hand, but the FA and Wembley gave our fans permission for it, raised the money and ordered it, now it's been banned 'in case it incites anger in Arsenal fans' **** off.
