I would love a lie in but....

[JOHNBOY42]

As the title states I am off today and would love to stay in bed until 10 or 11 am but as per usual my body clock wakes me up at 06.00 , but sometimes it will let me lie in until 06.10, even when I go on holiday I am up at these times except when I have a skinful its 06.30 then.

Count yourself lucky, I have a young baby and would love to lie in till 6!

Know the feeling mate...been there

yep same here 3 times in total.
just for the record were now getting a few lay ins,
now that the youngest is 7.
so you hang in there fella not long to go eh,

What happens if you have a mug of tea, and a wee, and go back to bed?

not easy, I know

Try setting the alarm clock for 3am and go for a gentle walk and when you get back do a bit of reading and as sleepiness comes on go back to bed.

Never worked for me yet!!!

Alternatively, at 5am my dog loves nap after 20mins of fetch the ball. So, get your partner to take you up the park and throw a ball for you. About 20 times should do it. But don't chew the ball because that builds up the adrenalin.

I'd like to point out that after years of trying to get a lay-in not one method has worked yet.

I don't understand all this lying in business. Being asleep is like being dead. If I could get by never sleeping I'd love that.

Well tomorrow I'll be sleeping until about 10:30am. I shall rise at about 10am to put the hot water on, then go back to sleep for half an hour.

Depends on what time a" lie in" is considered,very rarely stay in bed after 7.30am,don't go to bed later than 11.30pm so thats a good 8 hrs.

Go to bed after midnight, every night, but still wake up and get out of bed around 06.00am
Even when I've been working till 04.00am from 08.00am the previous day!
Every 4 or 5 months I 'oversleep' till 07.00/07.30 then jump up in a panic, even though I'm not working that day!
