Insonmia my faithful friend

For those who haven't twigged I live near London England, well my physical location is that. However I am not quite sure what time zone my body is working to ? All I know is it doesn't work to any constant time zone but 90% of the time it isn't GMT. This is one thing I can't blame on any illness or even medicine pattern it is just me. As a baby I used to infuriate my mother with  my late hours and I would sooner wear her out than miss anything. It's odd because when I do get to sleep a solid 8 hours is normal, but it is when those 8 hours start that is so random I am sure you could run a successful sweep stake on it.

But fear not I am not going to bore you about all the different things I have tried to correct this, because the simple answer is they don't work! Instead I look at it as a blessing. I get the chance to attempt to do stuff that in the day would be impossible because every one is around me making comments and so on. At night I can sit down in space and do some jobs, although some are best not repeated to my physio or she will blow another blood vessel. I am not saying I can clean the house or do the laundry. But the lighter things like check the stores, plan the menu and the shopping list. Tidy the reachable fridge shelves, locate the missing cutlery and crockery and delivery very slowly to the sink. These sound like little tasks but at the moment they are little steps forward. Pre recent incident in wasn't unheard of for me to have cleared the laundry, tidied the kitchen and done the ground work to dinner over night. Other nights I do the on line shopping sort the banking etc. Now I use my nights mainly to tidy up and release my blog, hence I have to re post it for 12 hours later for the GMT audience.

However that's not the reasoning for tonight's entry, this is, I guess I am more aware now situations have changed, but why are all the signing programs on during the middle of the night. I don't just mean BBC either ITV have started showing mainstream films at 3am with total sign. Are they under the assumption that all the deaf and hard of hearing people in the country are totally nocturnal. If so that is one hell of a biased way of thinking of them. That said it does give me the chance to re watch some of the more intellectual programs I have missed and learn some signing as I do. But I do think it very strange. I know there are subtitles available all the time, trust me I have to use them often enough when there is family background noise, but to be perfectly honest subtitles are erratic at best. So why don't all programs come with mandatory signing and audio description. With that thinking why do BBC 3 & 4 only start at 7pm, considering the number f repeats on anyway I am sure the market could stand them repeating some of the best of the programs for the week just gone by. And for those that know me I don't me Top Gear 24/7  Dave does that for me, but there are a lot of programs hiding on BBC2 that clash with other more popular programs. However it does provide us insomnics a way to extend our brains.

Thats said it also means I have yet to see 9am for a while so I bid you goodnight or goodmorning.
