I hope your writing sales really take off to compensate.<br /><br />Funnily enough, I was doing bits and pieces on the computer last night and getting nice and sleepy, so went through to where my hubby was watching TV to veg for a few minutes before crawling into bed. And found myself waking up. Horrible TV screen.

Evenings are for relaxing. Social networking sometimes falls into that category, but I don't always do it nonstop, so it's easier on the eyes.<br />Reading sometimes keeps me awake if it's a suspense novel. Then it's hard to turn off the tension.<br />Morgan MandelMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-82884764480671092342011-10-06T12:30:20.297-06:002011-10-06T12:30:20.297-06:00How interesting, Elsa!

I usually turn on my Notebook at night shortly before I go to bed to do one last check of e-mail, so I will download that program to that device. I close down my office computer late afternoon every day and seldom go turn it back on.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-52821539075913732262011-10-06T10:40:59.923-06:002011-10-06T10:40:59.923-06:00I did a brief check into the circadian rhythm and ...I did a brief check into the circadian rhythm and how scheduling habits can impact it.

I don't even have a clock radio in the bedroom and I don't read on the Nook before bed. But recently I was on the computer after dark, and hubbo saw me working through the study window. He said, "you look creepy at night". Well, okay! It's time for a change of lighting, eh? LOL. Will try this.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471919576687777886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-61000999707652502482011-10-06T09:59:01.436-06:002011-10-06T09:59:01.436-06:00Thanks for the information.

I haven't written much over the last few weeks because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Were I to mention this little program to her, she would urge me to get it.
