Jill 0 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Lie-ins are for wimps. The world needs me awake. I agree on lie-ins. I hate anything past 8am on a weekend, such a waste of the day. Not that I ever get remotely close to 8am like, it's usually 4.30-6.30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were posting at the same time so definitely a case of great minds. If there's washing that needs doing I love getting a load or two done (and preferably out on the line) and (or otherwise) catching up with a few hours TV and it still being well before 9am. I don't know if it's just how I've taught myself to be as I'm rubbish at sleeping anyway, meaning there is no enjoyment in attempting a lie-in or a nap, but it certainly feels like I get the most possible out of the day.

It's the best time of the day, before the rest of the world gets up and starts running its yap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12807 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Ever since my shifts started requiring me to get up early, I'm up early every weekend now as well and prefer it. Even though my Saturdays just involve getting up, drinking tea, eating breakfast, going out to swear at Newcastle and stumbling in drunk, it feels like I've accomplished more because I've spent 18 hours of the day awake.

ChezGiven 0 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 When you've been working for 20 years, on your second kid and have had broken nights on and off for the last 18 months, lie-ins are like being given a rim job and a blow job at the same time.

Dr Gloom 19888 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 When the rare opportunity for a lie in crops up, the Mrs and I never take advantage. If the kids have been shipped off to her parents overnight, we'll get giddy with excitement, go out on a rare night out and end up having a stupidly late night then a broken, dehydrated night sleep and inevitably waking at 7am like clockwork, unable to go back to sleep and racked with self loathing. I have, on the other hand, become a bit of a master of grabbing a weekend daytime power nap. I can pass out on the sofa in broad daylight, with the kids making all kinds of noise. Never would have been able to do that in the past but that's what permanent fatigue does to you. It's also a constant source of bickering. The wife and I are both convinced that we're always the ones who have had less sleep. Sleep wars, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 3685 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I've taken two days off to use holidays before I lose them, nowt to do but play xbox and buy puppy gear. Still woke up at half 6. I didn't sign up to be conditioned by my work, its bullshit. Used to love a lie in. Kitchen is sparkling though so swings and roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
