Here it is, I've only slept 3 1/2 hours, but I have a huge new project, everything laid out and I've read the directions and gone over the terms, and I'm so anxious to start that I went to bed, but then I got up and now here I sit. Am I crazy, or just normal? Do any of you possibly do this, or am I being kind of extreme?

 

[jenk57]

No, I get the same way. Starting a new project is exciting. Best of luck to you. What are you making.

There is no sense in thring to go to bed when there is a new project on the needles. Can't kee eyes open, You all have a great week-end.

Some people count sheep when they can't sleep... I design knitwear in my head. It's not strange at all! Who needs sleep when you can knit???

I'm making a faroese shawl.Wine colored.

I've been knitting since 530 am. Just taking a KP break. I think the best cup of coffee in the day is the early one with my "sticks" and yarn. It's the calm before the day takes off

 

[Sallyannie]

Trust me, you are very normal

You are not alone. I've been up since 5:30 also and finished a hat for my grandson. Now I only have three more to go.

I am totally with you on this but with tea.

I would say I'm with you to. But when I get up at 4:30 am it's because I'm off to work. But the good thing is I have a 3 hr break mid day and I can knit at work.

 

[jenk57]

That will be beautiful. I can see why you are excited. Please post pics when you finish.

Any tips for insomnia?....knitting is a great remedy-but when you have to get up at 5:30 AM, for work, and have 12 hr days-I hate to get up in the middle of the night to knit......lately-I wake up at 4:00 AM-like this AM-fortunately it is a weekend....but I either wake up at 4, or fall asleep on the couch, wake up at Midnight, then can't fall asleep again.....!

Yeh, my problem isn't getting to sleep, it's staying asleep. If you figure it out, you'll be a millionaire!!!

Waking up is your blood sugar dropping suddenly. Milk before bed and I sleep through the night. No milk and I wake up around 3 or 4. Easy fix

 

[Schoeneckwren]

Trust me, you are very normal

I second that motion.

All in favor, say AYE

 

[Nanimal]

Sugar, it's the 'Knitter's Curse'...I do the same thing.

 

[22401]

Cold or hot doesn't matter. But no chocolate (caffeine). You only new a like 1/2 a cup maybe less

 

[Purly Girly]

Aye!
