After the weddings over.
I just got home after another fine wedding day in cloudy sydney at 11.30pm and cannot sleep. I just realised that after a job when i get home, takes me a long time to fall asleep. I wake up at 6am every weekday for my fulltime job. I dont normally stay late on sundays but when i do i remedy it with some Jack Daniels and it works every time.. I tried alot of other ways but nothing else worked.
Does anyone else have this problem(not the alcoholic part) and if so how do you get to sleep. p.s. i really am not an alcoholic it takes me 1 drink to get ummmmm sleepy. |

I don't drink and never have and I have the same problem. It takes almost couple of hours to go to sleep when I get back home from wedding. It used to be same problem when I use to work at a call centre ages ago. So welcome to the club:)

Same here, takes me a while to get to sleep as well, did a wedding this Friday and Saturday with only 3 hours of sleep inbetween. When I got home Saturday night I felt like drinking some red bulls but today I feel they ran over me.

When I get home from a typical wedding, I usually need a little TV time to unwind from the day no matter how tired I am. The drive home really soesn't do it for me which is probably just as well as driving requires some attention not a good time to unwind. Usually my wife is waiting up for me so we spend a few minutes talking about what we each did that day and after about 20 minutes or so it's time to hit the sack. I have no trouble falling asleep but that might be because I'm old who knows ;-)

BUT she DID just renew my contract when we celebrated our 40th anniversary so I'm happy about that since I'm too old to be "traded" O|O \__/

Congrats Don!
And to the OP, I have the same problem. But I'm like that every night. I have to zone out for a while before I head to bed, and even then it can take 1-2 hours for me to fall asleep (sometimes longer). My brain just becomes more active when the lights go out. I tried having a drink and that never seemed to help. |

I've had trouble sleeping most of my life, usually after a 13 hour wedding I'll struggle to get out of the car after the long drive home, my legs don't want to walk anymore, I then start capturing tapes while I read all the latest happenings on the web. Even if I'm dead tired as soon as I sit in front of my PC I'll keep busy for hours. I give myself 15 minutes to fall asleep if I'm not out I'll get up and go back to work until I'm tired enough to sleep. Keeping a strictly balanced work schedule and going to the gym daily is about the only way I manage to sleep regularly, not getting enough sleep has many negative health effects.
