Much of my problems were down to diet.... Most of which was down to the Governments 5 a day twaddle.... and was basically over dosing on fruit and fruit juice and spent most of the days fermenting in fact I was all over the place.... Then some bright spark suggested cutting out the fruit and juice and within 48hrs I'm sleeping for 7-8 hrs again.... The stupid thing is, I would have been better off drinking a bottle of whisky every day....”

I need my 8 hours otherwise I'm a bear with a sore head. Thankfully staying up all night with kids is a thing of the past other than once in a bluemoon. Until they are older teenagers and then I will be up all night waiting for them to get home!

I work for Myriad Media and it seems within this industry it's fairly the norm for designers/developers to be up until all hours of the night (morning) pushing on with some extra work.  I know a lot of people will say they feel more creative at this time of the day or they get more done with everything body else out of the picture.  Sleep dep is a problem though, now we have a baby trying to get by on 4 or 5 hours sleep a day is definately taking it's toll
