Still trying to persuade my jet-lagged system that I'm back in east Asia.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Happens a lot to me, but generally awake some time between 3 and 5. Get most of my reading done then.

I just switch the radio on, timed to switch itself off after half an hour.

When I manage to drop off, I'm usually out like a brick these days!

I like the idea of split sleep, but usually it's the dog waking me for a desperate charge to the back door less I have to deal with a lake of piddle...

A full nights sleep is a thing of the past :(. Often wake up/get woken up a couple of times in the night. The trouble being a light sleeper I suppose.

Go to sleep around 11pm while reading in my chair. Wake up around 2am when iPad falls on floor. Finish reading the next few pages then go to bed. Have been doing first and second sleep for some time it seems.

@Kitty - Welcome home and back to the forum (officially). Occasionally someone using your name posted while you were gone. I ignored those posts believing they may have been sort of phishing scheme.
