The short answer to that is ...

YES ... DITTO ... YES !

I have become an professional insomniac ... and cat nap twenty or so minutes here and there usually twice daily when exhaustion hits me like a rock...

I actually can only recall two days this year when I slept more than three hours in one go... and by more than three hours I mean three and a half tops !!!

I have got very good at filling my nights with nonsenses... to pass the time!

Well sorry to hear you are in the same boat ...

Absolutely. Fantastic description of how it feels. You're definitely not alone! I'm only ever on short courses at the moment but they really wipe me out.

Much sympathy :).
