When I used to have to work midnight shifts I used to have hot chocolate
and toast when I got home and it seemed to help me sleep. My body seemed
to run on its own particular function clock because regardless of what
time I got home and what time I got to bed I would invariably get a wake
up call from my bladder at noon. It took me way too long to realize that
if I did not get up and pee I would not get back to sleep. I eventually
learned that my best bet was to get up and go right away. I would be
back to bed within two minutes and then right back to sleep.
