me so tiny,
I think it sounds like you have gotten in tune with what your body needs and forget about the clocks. Live by the clocks where you must in your life but other wise, set simple boundaries and try to stay close to them for your own good.
When I talk with my patients and ask about their sleep, my concern isnt how many hours they get in 24 but how do they feel in terms of whether they can do most of the things they need to do in their everyday lives.
There have been times in my own life where I was worried about something that I was responsiblle for to make happen at work and for me I found that instead of laying in bed.. flipping around like a fish on a string...I would get up and do some small chore that I had been meaning to do but hadnt had time. Also if that chore was related to the cause of my worry/stress, I some how felt that I was 'doing something active about my worry/stress', thus having a small feeling of control of that one little piece of the situation.As I have said before, you know you best and listen to your body and be gentle with yourself.. there are enough people out there who have so much misdirected anger/frustration that you dont need to come down on yourself.. theyre standing in line for that...LOL
