I can sleep for 12 hours and wake up tired. I take a while to come round when I’ve woken up. My hands won’t close properly to start with for example, and I do a ‘stare’ where I’m not really ‘there’ for a while.
On the other hand, I can take hours to get to sleep and can suffer from awful insomnia because I can’t shut my head off. I can wake up after 4 hours sleep after a particularly bad night and feel the same – hands won’t work, doing my ‘stare’ etc.
If I can, I hide in bed for an hour or two in the afternoon too. I often fall asleep reading or watching a DVD/iplayer at this point, which is remarkably easy considering how hard I find it to sleep at night.
The only time I feel like I have lots of energy is when I’m hitting a deadline and I love the feeling of being awake and involved and doing.
