Can you sleep 15 minutes earlier? I would consider it a miracle if I could actually sleep 2am to 11 am. I usually try to go to bed around 2am but almost never get to sleep before 6 or 7, even with 2 sleeping pills. When I have to be somewhere during the day I set 2 or 3 alarm clocks for 2-3 hous before I have to leave, as it takes at least 2 hours to become functional. When I don't have anything I have to do, I'll sometimes still set my alarm clocks, trying to force myself my body clock to readjust, but usually I can't face the excruciating pain of waking up and turn them off. Getting up early doesn't make it any easier to sleep the next night, even if I only got 2 hours the night before. And when I worked nights and didn't go to bed til 8 or 9am I still couldn't sleep for hours, if I was lucky falling asleep by noon, having to be up again at 4:30. It's a hopeless battle. Cecilia
