I am definitely a night owl and have been ever since I was born. My Mother told me that I kept her up every night, probably for at least my 1st year or 2 and 1 of her doctors (I was born in the US but have lived the majority of my 71 years in Lancashire/Cheshire) told her that I had "my nights and days mixed up" except no 'interventions' ever changed this! As a teenager I could sleep for elongated lengths of time but as I grew older, I seemed to naturally develop a more 'normal/acceptable sleep pattern, receiving between 7-8 hrs. Presently, my sleep pattern has "gone awry" which is probably due to having MS (for 44+ yrs) although I gratefully remain largely independent. I have increasingly & unintentionally, been recently falling asleep, while watching television, and this REALLY "throws a big spanner" in my best intentioned goal of establishing a better balance between getting enough sleep and never possessing enough energy to achieve anything I'd planned for any particular day😅! Currently I have NO problems in quickly falling asleep but incessantly waking up feeling so cold❄ , shivery⛄ , my limbs being so spastic (stiff/rigid) & my mind feeling MORE confused than it is when I'm wide awake🙃, my reluctance to getting up has become 1 my biggest battles! I WILL "win this" and wishing everyone here, continues to win (or least better manage) yours💗 x
