Life Sleep affecting work? - Page 6

I'm sure I'm not the only "night owl" on this board, but has anyone reached the point of where being a "night owl" / staying up late has affected their work life?

Perhaps calling out, missing your alarm clock, arriving to work late, falling asleep on the job, etc?

It's been happening far too often for me. Luckily, I have a bunch of time off saved that I can use, so I just bang out, but overall it's just a terrible rut to be in.

I'm fighting my winter sleep patterns right now. The short daylight hours just kill me and I guess I get bored as hell or something. Once I fall asleep I'm fine, but I just can't get wound down enough to do it. A little alcohol or melatonin can help sometimes, but eventually I have to just pull an all nighter doing some kind of busy work to correct it for a while.

I tried ZzzQuil and I fell asleep around 10pm, but I woke up at 2am and now I'm wide awake.

It could be the lack of daytime sun activity that's doing it. I do run outside daily, but like the user above said, the short daytime hours affect me.

ZzzQuil is just Benadryl. Extremely overpriced.

FWIW, don't take antihistamines for sleep for more than two weeks. After two weeks the sedative effect remains but the hypnotic effect diminishes, meaning that you get tired, but you don't fall asleep.
