What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

I like to get to bed by 10.30pm. Read for a while, and be asleep by 11.00pm.

I usually get up at 7.30 am, but if I’ve had a late night I’d sleep in until 8.30 or 9.00am.

I was late getting to bed last night – after midnight – and although I fell asleep immediately, I woke up at about 3.30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. I was wide awake!

I got up, had a bowl of cereal (that often helps), went back to bed, and finished reading Beatrice’s Fate. I lay down at about 5.30, and slept restlessly until 10.00am. I have a headache now and I’ll be like a wasp on coke for the rest of the day!

Sleep is important and I absolutely hate being deprived of my sleep. Can’t do late nights out anymore without being wrecked for two days afterwards! If possible, I go out early and come home early.

And I’m here thinking, who on Earth gives a hoot about my sleeping habits?

But thank you for reading!

If a family saga set in a small Irish town is up your street, you might like to take a peek inside the pages of my novel, Secrets in the Babby House.

Set in a gossipy small town in Ireland at a time when marriage is for keeps and sexuality is repressed, Secrets in the Babby House is a family saga over three decades that starts in 1956. It is a story of love, deception, and stolen diaries filled with sins and secrets.

Also available on Rakuten Kobo books.
