I think there is nothing worse than broken sleep.  I sometimes go all week long that way. I have already gone to bed at 10:00 PM...only to get up at 1:00 AM and just not be able to go to sleep.  This may continue for several days (of course, not with those exact time frames, but still not sleep) You want to talk about cranky?

Maria, I did the exact same thing. Usually that means I'm worried about something but haven't figured it out yet. I think I've figured it out (work related) and I'm working to recitfy the situation today. Good luck sleeping better tonight. Not that I'm into taking drugs too much, but have you thought about taking something like Tylenol PM? I have some at home but I've only taken them once I think.

Oh, you mean the examiners being here Thanksgiving week and the BSA officer is on a hunting vacation, might have something to do with this????    
Only if it's a new phenomenon. But look at the bright side, Maria- waking up in the middle of the night means less chance of sleepwalking.

I've been an insomniac for about 5 years now. I get sooo sleepy about 5:30 or 6:00 pm, but once I make it past 8:00pm, I'm up until at least 1:00 or 2:00am usually. If I do manage to go to sleep at a decent time, I wake up off and on all night. I have to have a nap on Saturday or Sunday just to make it. I've tried everything from over the counter sleep aids to prescriptions for sleeping pills. I don't know if I just have an incredible tolerance or what but they don't work for me. Even reading compliance material won't put me to sleep

Gee elena, Too bad you are going to bed when I am getting up, or I could call you and we could chat about the latest and greatest in compliance!

Maria, you and the Junebug seem to be on the same schedule. Although in her case it does seem to be somewhat related to teething - are you teething by any chance??  However, while SHE can go back to sleep, once I'm up, I'm UP. I really am getting tired (literally) of getting up at 4am.

When I can't sleep, I start reading regulations. Works every time.

WHAT ARE YOU PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW?
Also, I'll second the motion that you and Elena should get together, what a pair! (with Elena spending the most time on the BOL Couch or in the Watercooler)

I haven't slept through the night in years, but I did finally learn not to get up! I just stay up and end up ugly the next day  This time of year is the worst. It gets light about 10 am, and turns dark after 3 pm so my body clock says "it's dark, go to sleep" at 3, but they actually expect me to stick around here til later than that. Then when I get home, my body clock says "missed your opportunity sweetie, now you're gonna suffer til after 1 am til you learn your lesson" My body clock might be possessed...it talks a lot!

The Doctor is in:
Your problem is GUILT. You spend way too much time on the Couch and in the Watercooler, in fact, you are one of the three most prolific posters to those forums during working hours, according to my analysis. Of course, Elena is right up there with you, so there is some sort of shared experience going on that's now been acknowledged in this thread.
The answer - get back to work, work hard and you will begin to sleep well, knowing that you've given your employer 100%.

Gee anon, that was really helpful. I wonder what I'd do without your superior insight?
However, having just got an Outstanding on my compliance examination, I can't help but inform you that your diagnosis must be incorrect. Perhaps I can just do more than one thing at a time.
It's no wonder that malpractice insurance is so high for doctors.
Oh, please get a second opinion, but GUILT is the diagnosis.
By the way, I'm unaware of a regulatory entity that would give an "outstanding" rating in compliance to any financial institution. I believe the highest is "1", but the worl "outstanding" is really not part of regulatory vocabulary. So, perhaps, add delusional as a secondary ailment. Go will this plan, you will sleep a lot better.
