I have a guilty pleasure. I go to bed anywhere from 9.30 pm onwards - whether I'll sleep or not is another story. But I never go to bed without my husband (unless he's not here). I get up at 5am to wake the kids for school (takes half an hour to get them out of bed), make lunches etc. Then I get back into bed with coffee. When my husband and kids leave for school and work at 7am, I normally doze until 9am or so. Some mornings I enjoy this, other mornings there are too many nightmares to bother or sometimes I feel guilty. But when there is no alarm on a weekend, I sleep as late as the family will allow. I always used to doze during the day - but that was when I was drinking and physically unwell. Now I almost never sleep during the day.
My meds don't knock me out, but that's okay because I don't feel drowsy the next day.
