We have Crows (Ravens, Rooks or Petradactyls), they are extremely noisy, & mostly sound cross.

Aww, you missed me

Yeah, I've not managed to get on the forum much for a while, being no longer single is leaving me with very little free time!

Sleeping much better now thanks, feeling in a pretty happy place at the moment which is a big help - me and my OH do keep waking each other up in the night as we're both a bit fidgety (not an issue when you have the bed to yourself, but leads to multiple crashes when there's 2 of you!) but we both get back to sleep pretty quickly - although she also complains that I snore, which I've never known about....

Hope the birds settle down and let you sleep a bit in the mornings - they tend to start up near me as well at about 5am...

A rather simple assessment of sleeping patterns - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-27161671 - it claims that I am currently at my 'most alert, which is disappointing, but also proclaims that I am 'balanced'.

I'm not so sure about this....

18:00-20:59
Watch what you eat
Poor time to eat a big meal
Liver handles alcohol better

When on earth are you supposed to eat your big meal if you work all day? Plus, if I started drinking at 18.00 - I would be asleep before my big meal at 21.00!!!!!

Says I'm balanced too, but there wasn't a bit where you scream at someone "what the f**k do you think you're doing waking me up?"
I am not a morning, afternoon nor an evening person. I am more a let me sleep and I am nice, sort of person.

Hello again - my insomnia today is brought to you in association with a raging stomach bug which keeps forcing me to dash to the bathroom every few minutes

Which is nice

Some of us are Acid refugees, you know?

We don't need that sort of thing in our lives.
