  1. I MADE A NIGHT CAP - you know the "Wee Willy Winky" ones - and actually, like almost everything I make from the past I find out they are GREAT - realy GRAT. You would THINK th e long triangle that flops down would get tangled and be a pain the a****. Nope. You lay down ad pull it over your EAR and put the end under your arm. It keeps your ear warm [I don't heat my house] and its really quiet, cos there are fewer noises distracting your sleep you move less. They really are the perfect solution to sleeping in a cold room...

  2. I SLEEP DIURNALLY I wake up 10 minutes before sunrise every morning using a sunrise alarm so I watch the sun come up over the horizon every single day as I do Tai Chi on the balcony Obviously, this is a different time every day. I go to bed when I am tired, no set time. I CAN do this cos I an self-employed. What was surprising was how quickly it became totally normal - like a week. I have been living like this for about 2 years, my summer days are very long and nights short and opposite in winter - but it just seems FINE. Its almost like evolution made us to be OK with this... So my day is timed + X hours after waking up, like the old Japanese clocks. 1st dog walk +1 hour. 2nd dog walk +3 hours. Food +5 hours. Etc. Instead of at a given time. The crazy thing is - my dog KNOWS when its time for its walk, even though its walk is at a different time every day, the dog has adjusted to this as well...
