Regular sleep patterns.

[indica]

My apologies if by any chance this post is Incoherent as i haven't been to sleep yet, I'm attempting to stay up until later tonight, so i can restore my sleep patterns.

Over the past month or so, my sleep patterns have been all but destroyed. So I have found myself going to sleep really early in the morning and waking up rather late in the afternoon. It seems to have taken a great toll on my energy levels, made me look zombie-like:p and just generally made me feel like complete shite! Physically and Mentally.

I'm curious to know if anyone could clear up a few questions for me.

1) How Important is it to maintain regular sleeping patterns? + What's the best time for the human body to shut off at night and turn back on in the morning?

2) How long will it take for my body and mind to restore to 'normal' levels.

3) How much Stress does it cause the body? What are the health risks over time?

If you know anything else that may be of some importance, to help me feel refreshed from sleep, please let me know.
As sometimes.. I feel worse when i wake up, then before going sleep:D

I don't know if this information would be of any use for advice, but
the only drugs i take are cigarettes, and a Occasional beer couple of times a month.

Thanks in Advance.

Since mid-April this year I was surplussed from my employer, so since then I can do what the f**k I want anytime I want... including staying up thru the night... I prefer staying up at night as I'm a "night owl" ... It's quieter during the night... no sirens, no heavy traffic, no hot humid day. No drunk young people hollering on the streets... just quietness. Right now it's 4:45 a.m. (Central Daylight Time) and the only noises are the sparrows chirping and some very minimal car traffic blocks away.

Go with the flo... Society is told that being a night owl is somehow wrong or bad, but if it is natural to you don't worry about it.

I've got things i want to and have to do through out the day, which i can't do throughout the night.

+ I much prefer the day, especially sunny ones:)

and it's not nice missing one.

Dito that.

i always work better at night, for some reason...... would rather sleep in the day, things seem to come online at night - even the world seems more palitable at night time :D

shopping certainly has its benefits after midnight :D

I'm certainly a night creature.

Since my post in 2011 I have found a source of Melatonin in a bottle, and since late March 2012 have taken 3 mg every night.

Melatonin hormone is only produced during the night and during a darkened room.

I was up during the night and couldn't sleep. I would wake up at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. and would then fall back asleep and wakup at 11 a.m.

So since March 2012 I have been taking this capsule which is available over the counter.

Been sleeping normally since then.

Melatonin is produced in the Pineal gland which is our mind's eye. It helps us see the other dimension, sleep better, slow down aging, prevent auto-immune disease (I have type 2 diabetes).

While I'm wrting this I am listening to an interview on the properties and importance of Melatonin hormone.

Guest: Dr. Russell Reiter

After yesterdays show I received several emails asking about the original interview with Dr. Reiter I did in 2007. Many topics not covered yesterday where covered in this original interview that points to the notion that we can all benefit from Melatonin supplementation.

I currently live downtown neibourhood but will be moving soon. There is alot of street lighting nearby and until recently didn't put any cover on my b'drom window because I liked the view of nearby apartments out
side my window.

When I take a Melatonin capsule it takes about 90 minutes before I start to feel really sleepy. And getting about 8 1/2 hours of sleep each night instead of broken durations.
