As I have mentioned several times lately, I have a lot on my plate right now. I am getting along all right, because I have been able to acquire “extra” time by avoiding sleep.
As the clock nears 4:00 A.M. I begin to wonder: Is it really, really late right now, or am I past the point of no return and it’s now very early. These are the kinds of things that you think about after a significant amount of sleep deprivation.
I am going to assume it’s early and start a pot of coffee. I have a long day ahead of me
Hopefully, there will be time to sleep tonight … or tomorrow night … or whatever the heck day it is night!

I get most of my work done late at night. The kids are asleep, the phone isn't ringing, and I can focus on exactly what I need to do!

It's late here where I am, but it must be really late where you are.... but then again, it must be morning already. I hope you can catch up on your sleep soon.
Richard, It is unusual to see you up this early. What is troubling you man? If you want to talk, I have the phone on...
Helping you help others live their American dream...
Richard - 4:00 a.m. is really early if you ask me. Hope whatever is keeping you up pulling an all-nighter is resolved soon.
Richard, I wake every morning at 4:00 AM, and think it's normal, But that is after sleeping for a few hours. I hope that you get the sleep you need soon. You must take care of yourself!
The body animal is a wondrus thing. If one simply goes to bed/sleep when one's eyes begin to burn, one begins to yawn and then sleeps until one wakes up naturally (no alarms), one is getting a sufficiency of sleep.
Otherwise one would still be asleep.
With no artificial sleep producing chemicals, the body sleeps when it is in a quiet place designed for sleep.
When one awakes, one can simply get up and get on about the day.
Forget the clock. They're not as smart as folks think.
Richard,
I think this is going around because I find myself doing the same thing lately! Try to get some sleep will ya? LOL I will try....
Richard....I'm an early riser...up at 4:30 with no alarm clock.....but my eyes tend to close by 9:00pm!!!! I'm in the office by 7:00am.....I fully agree with Lenn....the body knows what it needs....just do as it demands.
I can do in the AM * dogs get me up at 5:30A or 6A and they do their thing and while they have chewies to work on, I work on 2 cups of coffee....THEN I get dressed and go to the office....I am able to end earlier in the afternoon and go to bed earlier
I also can get a lot done at night but would prefer to get some sleep too! Not good to go without sleep! Good Luck!
Richard, that is not fun. I hope whatever this is that is keeping you up and gnawing at your stomach will resolve soon. We can't afford to have you getting sick, and neither can you.
I hate to take anything, especially those over the counter sleeping pills. I hate when I can't sleep, and because I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, what ususally happens is that I wake up at some horrible hour and can't get back to sleep.
Work it out soon please. We are not as young as we used to be to tolerate this.
Sleep in not overrated for me. I want it , need, and gotta have it. Hope you can find some rest soon.
I love that phrase that Lenn used: the body animal is a wondrous thing. You will sleep when you need it and be awake when you need to be.
I am assuming that you are working on the move? How is it going? Are you getting close to being finished with that so that things will settle down and you can get back to your routine? Routine - ha! Okay as much routine as you can get into.
Richard you have me a bit worried here. You better sleep tonight. I know you will sleep when you need it but it might not be at the most convienient time, like at a stop sign or in the middle of a meeting.There now that the mother in me has spoken, you have a good day my friend.
Richard, I've done all nighters and I want to highly recommend against it, if you're planning on meeting clients or having any interaction with folks the next day. It will show, and it's not pretty. Good luck!
Hi Richard, I do the same thing. It's quieter and I get more done late at night. Don't go on like that for long. It will catch up to you and you're gonna be cranky my friend! Trust me :)
Richard,
Somewhere between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning, the late night to early morning demarcation kicks in. :)
Steve
You have too much on your mind - throw it to the wind - it will wait for the morning - cast your cares upon the Lord! It is easier said then done - I have you in my prayers - thank you for sharing with us
Richard,
I'm a lightweight. I caved. Went to bed at 2:30, and slept in to 6:00.
There's a reckoning coming. Soon.
Be kind to your body, Richard! We want you to stay healthy and balanced.
Richard, I call this the drivers syndrome.
When you are in traffic going 50 miles an hour on a 6 lane hwy. . .you are only responsible that your space between your car and the one in front is 3 to 5 cars lengths and brake when the car in front brakes.
Simple enough
If you are in traffic and you have cars in front , on your sides and behind with people that are talking on the phone, yelling, drinking coffee, sick with the flu, talking to others on the car, drunk, drugged and bold tires with brakes that needed maintenance 3 years ago. .
You get nervous. . looking all around as anxiety sets in.. .
Life is the same way Richard. . .just worry about that car on front of you and GET SOME SLEEP WHEN YOU GET HOME :)
Richard, I've been to the doctor for sleep disorder and the problems that can arise from lack of sleep are too many and too disastrous to mention here. Get help my friend.
Even if you're one of those who doesn't like to go to the doctor, go anyway, if not for yourself, for your family.
My friend, I would suggest that you get some rest before you make a problem that may not be correctable(?).
I need sleep. 8 hours at least. Because I never sleep well though, I am always tired in the morning. Try to sleep tonight Richard. You will get sick if you don't get enough rest. xxoo
Every action has a consequence, including depriving yourself of sleep so that you can get things done. A persistent lack of sleep will lead to getting sick more often.
OK that said, when I was in university, I was a chronic all-nighter, and I used this litmus test to see whether it was even worth going to sleep or not: if I had to get up in less than 4 hours, then it would be a sleepless night for me. 4+ hours 'til I had to get up? My eyes are closing. TAKE CARE. -- Tanya in Montreal
Richard, nothing can be so important that you have to stay up all night. Sleep regenerates the body for the next day. Take time out and get some rest.
Hi Richard, hope you get everything done to your satisfaction that needs to be done, and then leave everything behind and get the sleep you need, feeling good about what you've accomplished. Take care.
Hang in there..there will be time to rest after the deals close!
It is very similar to driving a long distance. Kind of scary when your last thought was I 95 in N.C. and now you are I-95 in Georgia

Richard: I hope you get to take a nap at some point today. And if not, hopefully you won't have any measurable amount of time ahead of you in the car.
Richard...but then...how else would you be able to capture such amazing photos???
Richard: Hope you won't burn out your energy! I tend to work late and start very early too. My teenagers are busy w/homework at night, so they are their own and they leave for school at 6:30. So I tend to work at night and start working as soon as the kids leave for school. My husband and I try to remind to each other to have a well balanced life...
Hi Richard...Please take better care of yourself. It's very hard to catch up with sleep lost and we pay the price sooner or later. I'm hoping the things that are keeping you busy are good things, nonetheless, please get some good, deep sleep.
Kate
Richard~ I hope you will get some mot needed slepp tonight. Try some lavender scents. They are very relaxing and calming and they help me when I have sleepless nights. And I hope whatever is bothering you gets resolved.
Richard, I used to work the 'graveyard' shift all the time. Loved it. I could get a lot done and went on a lot less sleep than when I worked daylight hours.
I worked the night shift in the healthcare field for years. I missed a lot of sleep over the years.
Richard, if it's business related there is nothing so important that is worth ruining one's health. All we can do is our best and if the clients really want to work with us they will adjust to our schedule. Good Luck.
Richard:
The body really does need a certain amount of sleep to function. And, it is so difficult to be awake when the rest of the world is asleep. Please, do take care...
I tend to agree with Lenn... but then again I'm rather obsessive compulsive... When I'm burning with an idea I just can't stop. Especially when I was in music, I did a lot of all nighters. I'd write music and or arrangements for performances and/or recording sessions... then it was 12:30 or 2:30 AM and the parts still needed to be copied for the rehearsal at 9:00 AM... Somehow I always pulled it off. But simply put, I was so jazzed to hear it, I plowed through.
Then came working in Title Insurance... 8:00 to 5:00... that was tough. The past 10 - 15 years it was more about producing the app, product, web page, marketing program etc. and time was more flexible (which translated to: "your free to work all the overtime you want!" I pulled a lot of all nighters doing that also. There was always something to do, and the special project that you were working, then before you knew it... launch day (or a sales meeting) was tomorrow morning!
Now, since November, it would appear I have all this time on my hands. But I ask daily, where'd it go? Then, around 10:00 PM I get that composers 2nd wind...
I hope all you have on your platter right now is about your passion and to get it done... catnaps work too! But life without coffee, I fear to contemplate. Best wishes...
Hi Richard. I have felt that way before...
I needed rest. Over stressed. Couldn't sleep...
Take care of yourself,
Ken
Richard: Unusual to see no responses from you. You really must have been busy. That or you did find time for some much needed sleep. :)
Hi Richard... I hope that you at least find the time for a nap! Sleep deprivation is serious and should be avoided. Hopefully all is OK with you... feel free to reach out this way if I can be of any help.
Richard, look at the bright side. The government needs money and with all the work you are doing, you will more than pay your share. I think I would opt for the sleep.
Sleep is over rated, always has been and always will be. I do a lot of work and a lot of thinking late at night and early into the morning my friend, I have been an insomniac forever.
