Does anyone know where I can find peppermint essence. I've tried Spinneys & Tavola.

Also what time do you all go to bed? I get up at 6am and always intend to go to bed around 10pm but most nights don't make it. I often feel very tired in the afternoon just as the children come in from school.

I notice a lot of people post quite late, maybe not as late as this :) and wondered how you manage.

Thanks!

Choithram's usually have a good stock of flavourings and colourings. I saw peppermint essence in our JBR branch a few days ago.

Am definitely a night owl!!! I sleep all over the shop as I work shifts so I try to sleep when I'm tired and get up when I'm not. If I've been travelling then I might sleep for an entire day, which sucks because then I'll be up a couple of nights in a row & sleeping in the day if I'm "off".... but I wouldn't say I have a 'regular' routine. I average 6 hours which is what I can get by on as a minimum (throwback to college) but 8 is better. If I'm working nights then I will probably sleep 10hours.... Quite obvious I don't have any kids or husband!! ;) :D

Thanks, I tried Spinneys in Motor City last week and there was none but good to know they sometimes stock it. I'll try Galleries Lafayette next. We missed the alarm this morning too this morning! Some people just need less sleep it seems. I've got to get into a better routine. Thanks again.

And this morning I slept until 7:30 (though my alarm went off at 6:00 as usual) ... and DS's school bus picks him up at 7:50! Imagine the rush early morning! So I dont really manage well :D ...

As someone who frequently suffers from sleep issues I find sticking to a routine the best. On a "school night" it's 9:30/10pm and up at 6am. On weekends I allow an hour or two later but not much more as then my body's out of whack. Unless I'm sick I try not to nap if I'm tired in the afternoon as it upsets the nightly routine and makes any sleep problem worse! I try to power through and ultimately sleep better in the evening as by then I'm exhausted! HTH, good luck.

Around 1 to 2am usually-but sometimes not at all-I am a real night owl-mind you I no longer work and the children are grown but I have never slept much anyway
