Night Owl status is fairly normal for me due to shift work.  Some years ago I worked a solid year of evening shifts and have never really been able to shift the body clock back since.

The shifts don't bother me, its the changes between them that hurt.

Riding at night can be a real pleasure mind.

Yeah my body clock is pretty much screwed  :-\ just over ten years ago now I was on a series of 24 on 24 off shifts intermittently, I reckon that started it then there were many many weekends where I finished one job on a Friday grabbed some food then started another where I got no sleep on the Friday night and only maybe grabbed a couple on Saturday before falling unconcious on the Sunday night and getting up for the first job on the Monday  :o

Funnily enough I often find now I'm unable to sleep unless I'm completely knackered (or have had a drink... or both...)  :-\
I've tried the "get into a routine" trick but there's only so much lying in the dark staring into space that you can do!  ::)

Hiya Rob.  But isn't the 11 hour gap better than the 8 was ?

Twice in every three weeks we had to finish on nights at 6 and be back at work by 2.  Grumpy wasn't the word.

Seems fixed having changed wiring harness and a few other tweaks . However I don't know what I've done to fix it  ???. Hoping to do the Ace on Sunday , work allowing .
