Has anyone else noticed that if you're used to getting up early on a regular basis, it is almost impossible to have a lie-in?  I haven't kept stock for 15years now, but I just cannot stop getting up at 6am, and if I deliberately try to have a lie-in I just end up with a headache!!  Anyone else have this problem?   Happy New Year to  you all by the way!!

Absolutely very hard to lie-in, but they say in all the self-help books that with practice the headaches will eventually go and are probably due to low sugar levels. I usually get up at the usual time have the breakfast (to clear the head) and then go back for a lie-in. Don't go doing chores or anything, focus on the lie-in. This technique has been developed over many years, but you are welcome to try it. Let me know how you get on.

Regards 

PS The headache is a result of the lie-in isn't it?

hi,

i have been getting up at 4 since the age of twelve!  any later an i have more than a headache.  quite annoying as i would like to spend more time in bed!

l wake up at 6.30am no matter what time l go to bed. lf l lie in l get back ache and have to get up.

The joy of getting up early of course , is being able to sit in peace with a nice cup of tea

I get up at the time I have to and that time may vary considerably.

I had an Uncle who was a stockman and he always went to bed when it got dark and got up when it got light.

He would have spent most of the winter in bed
