Me too So whats the problem ? Sounds completely normal to me. I'd be ecstatic if i could stay focused all day. From the sounds of it you had a period of hardly any sleep and your body has just adjusted to that so it can get by on less sleep than it used to. I've found it more difficult to sleep in as I age, but don't think there is anything wrong with that. Part of me thinks its down to a short attention span brought on by the modern world (need to check them emails), but mostly its just that I need to get up to have a wee. No problems honestly, just everyone is telling me its not normal and I shouldnt be able to maintain this. Reading on the web says that there are cases of it, but not many. Most experience some form of degradation of focus/mind/creativity, etc or need a catch-up day. Im experiencing nothing like that... Hahaa, last bit was about right...... Thats a good point..... yeah, life is rather good right now.... (hopefully) the last 6-8 months in IT and then GF and I are off to travel, starting with Japan Cant wait! My world is currently a very happy place, with a few issues that I have to deal with, but really am happy

Nice idea on the anti histamines, I do take other stuff for hayfever Not pitch black, but sleep was the same in middle of winter

Am looking at having blood work done to check for imbalances, etc

Forgot to mention, that when I do sleep, I sleep like the dead, I barely move, nothing much disturbs me, etc

Not a great deal before bed.... normally eat early, so 19-2000, then gf and I talk, very rarely switch the TV on, we sometimes read. Same result if I go to bed earlier or later. Not that I am aware of, as it changes with the time I go to bed, we have also gone through daylight savings, which changed nothing. Habit, yes, more than likely. ----------------------- The strange thing is that I function perfectly, no adverse side-affects, etc. Still not sold on doctors...... ----------------------- I used to be like that..... but then mood was affected by the type of music I listened to while sleeping

For the last year or so, I have only been sleeping for 5-6 hours a night.... before that it was 7-9 hours. During that time I split up with my long term partner (and fiancee) so yes I was stressed. During this period, 2 hours of sleep was good. Now I am happy, eating well, exercising regularly and have very little stress in my life, but still only manage 5-6 hours of sleep. I generally go to bed at about midnight, I fall asleep within seconds (very very rarely do I struggle to fall asleep) and without fail I wake up around 0515-0545 and I mean wide awake! No chance of going back to sleep. In the last 4-5 months, I have maybe had 2-3 days where I have gotten back to sleep and slept for another hour, but still woken up before my alarm which is set for 0745. After 4-5 months, I have no odd side-affects, I do not struggle to stay awake, focus, concentrate, work, etc. Most of my friends say its very odd and that I should speak to my doctor. Im not a fan of doctors, they will just want to prescribe something rather than trying to fix the rootcause (if there is one). Anyone else ever had this? Been doing a bit of reading and there are people that excel like this, so should I just accept it and figure out a way to use my extra time constructively? Also a little difficult when you have someone who is fast asleep next to you, that you dont want to disturb (she is moody as hell if she doesnt get 8 hours). Im in the process of reading articles now.........

Sorry, but saw this on FB and just laughed.... a quote, harsh yes, vulgar yes, but funny!

Sadly, Im the cynical one.......... can you imagine the "in use purchases", you seem to be enjoying your purchase, to continue using it please provide your credit card details. And on the AI front, I have seen developers at work.... the kill all humans button would be out-of-order...... just like the self destruct cancellation button in SpaceBalls.

Constant firmware upgrades, ADblockers, etc.............. and imagine the joy in your life if someone managed to hack it.

With your ocular implant,could you imagine the advertising potential!! 24/7 advertising...........

Sadly, I am one of the miserable gits above...... and having seen both sides and spent nearly 15 years fighting for something to work, Im pretty sure that I have made this mistake and learnt something from it. I really hope that it works for you

Yeah, update onb your situation please So, my breakup, as stressful as it was, is one of the best decisions of my life. The lovely new french lady is just amazing, she is moving in shortly and we are planning on going travelling at the end of the year....... starting with Japan - so if anyone wants cars or car parts let me know

Id rather do trips in the GTR than 1 in an SUV

Nissan GTR red is the colour same as my GTR love the colour!!!

Long time coming...... but the shell now has some paint on it Pics to follow soon

Nur is only a couple of hours down the road from Spa too ........ rude to do one and not the other You are not wrong, have done a few laps of Nur, but nothing at proper speed (dont know it well enough).... I did a parade lap with 4 other GTRs before the N24H race last year and we managed 10m 30 for a lap not too bad since we were told not to drive quickly! For that, MX5 wins for me..... reliability of RX8 is off putting..... MX5 with a proper diff and some suspension will be perfect

Come and play with the big boys then, last day at Spa there were 5 McLarens, 2 Aston racecars, 2 x 458's and a 488, countless GT3RS's, GT3's, Turbots, Nobles, Radicals ......... I was the poor relative in a 400hp BMW Its difficult to have more fun than 5+ of you in low powered cars acting like dicks Often have that at Silverstone..... Spa is a must do track for me, not been yet! But that last bit is spot on! Friend runs a megane, I had the MX5, another comes in a cayman and we all behave like idiots, especially when we are told no drifting.... then Paul gets black flagged for too much tyre noise in the Megane!!!!

The problem with Combe is all the exits of the corners are just straight lines, so could never get passed anything and then they just slowed me in the corners. No one every let me passed in the MX5 either, so maybe the experience is more related to how the trackday was run. Foot flat everywhere is a little boring need to have some variation!

What would be your regular tracks? Having had a standard MX5 MK2.5, I found it painfully slow on some of the faster tracks (Thruxton, Castle Combe, Goodwood - ok maybe all of them). However, with a supercharger it was a different animal altogether. I have been looking at RX8s for some time now as a replacement, since I had to sell the MX5 - I am just not sure on the reliability front. The GTR is just too expensive on track! Tyres, brakes and fuel are just silly......... but the car is also too fast! At a recent Thruxton day, nothing came close and I spent a lot of time scaring people just because of the approach speed when I caught them. So I have a plan for a new track car, old, no ABs, no powersteering, etc but will keep it underwraps until I can confirm

Handling rather well on track......... been considering one for a little while now good luck with it

So basically every night of the week for me no missus!! And the french lady I am seeing put double cream into EVERYTHING!

3 GTR road trips planned -NC500 in May 6-7 cars -3 of us heading over to Romania in 3 GTRs -much bigger group (10-12 cars) heading over to Slovenia

Its amazing how much you will change over the next few months when you realise this more and more! My friends and work colleagues have all commented on different I am now! And yes, for the better Now seeing a lovely French lady that does not stop making me laugh!

Couple of GTR friends and I are doing this at the end of May
