    this will help them sleep:
    give them a little castor oil with some ginger in it at lunch.

    No sweets after 3 pm

    and a smaller tumbler of scotch about 15 minutes before bedtime!

    I actually enjoy getting up at 5am. I don't have any set time I need to be up. I enjoy letting my brain get a jumpstart on the day, though, before I need to crack down and do serious work.

    For the most part I don't mind being up early.

    I most definatly like getting up before the kids and getting a cup of coffee in me.

    But there are times I would like to sleep in and I just can't.

    I have not been able to sleep in for about 17 years, which is right about the time I went into the Army! Think there might be some sort of collition there?[;)]

    I drove in the Army and drove Civillian for 16 years untill I was hurt and could not work anymore.

    I am also a 3rd generation truck driver as both my grandfathers were drivers (one drove for 35 years the other for probly around 50 years) and my dad drove for over 40 years.

    So yea you might say that I know a thing or two about trucks.

    But when I say that don't interprit it as that I know everything there is to know about them. I firmly believe like my grandfather used to say, and that is the truck driver who says they know all there is to know about it is gunna get themselves and a bunch of others killed while he is going down the road!

    I probly know more than most, and not as much as others!

    Hey now... it happens every day between 7:30am and 7:35am. And, unlike most lazy Americans, I work those hours seven days a week!

    My apologies, you are a regular type A dynamo! No doubt in a few weeks you will be among the list of 10.

    Having a schedule of any kind will be a dramatic change for us. While working shift with a different sleep time every week, we have no schedule.

    I no longer have to get up early, but that's the great thing about retirement.[:D] We still get up early, but it's not having to that makes it enjoyable. When we have to set the alarm for some reason, we complain about it the night before and dread hearing that stupid sound.[V] I don't want to do schedules anymore.

    That does not work for me. My internal alarm clock will not allow me to sleep in.

    Now after I am up for a bit I can lay back down and take a short nap.

    But I can stay up late and would still be up by 5AM. The Army is what did it to me. Before I went in the Army I never got up before 10AM. But with all the getting up early in the service it totally changed that.

    I always wake up about 5 min before the time i set the alarmclock.
    I think that if i would not turn the alarmclock on, probably i woul'nt wake up 5 minutes before it rings either.
