Yes. Mopar has always been a restless and light sleeper, often going weeks on two or three hours each night. It was never any trouble for him to work nightshift, or to work a double shift, indeed he seemed to thrive on it while we all faded and begged for ever-stronger coffee.
This of course, was prior to CH entering our lives. Mopar's chronic.
Now he's understandably afraid to go to sleep;he delays going to bed in case he gets hit soon after he's got there, and still manages to hold it all together on less sleep than most humans. When he awakes, it is as tho' he has never been asleep - he is running on all eight cylinders from start-up. It always takes me two cups of tea at least before I'm human.
As we learned more from this site and Ouch we realised that its all to do with serotonin. Or at least some of it!
It's an interesting little neurotransmitter.
Good to meet you brain_cramps!
