Bed-E-Byes

Since moving into my new flat, I have found myself going to bed a lot earlier on "school nights". Instead of my previous bedtime of 11pm-midnight, I'm tucked up around 10pm. Good thing I say – I feel alot fresher ahead of the weekend, when I will be up later, and I haven't fallen asleep at my work desk once – I am now the model professional!

This hasn't been a planned change - although think it is probably linked to various factors.

• No TV or broadband internet to waste my evenings on
• No housemates making noise outside my bedroom door
• No housemates preventing access to kitchen & bathroom
• Nicer bed, which makes sleeping more attractive
• Loads more stuff to do at work, which is tiring me out

People say that you require more sleep as you age. I'm 25 next week. It is a worry, as at the rate things are going, by the time I am the same age as Leeds United owner Ken Bates, I will require 87 hours of sleep a day!
