I found out while on paternity leave (eight weeks, thanks to never using any vacation time up until then--not having a life occasionally has its advantages) that my cycle is 25 hours. I'd stay up an hour later every night, get up an hour later, and I got some of the best rest of my life. Maybe the only really good rest of my life.
Of course, I also ended up spending an awful lot of my active time during the times that the boy and M. were sleeping, and a corresponding amount of time sleeping while they were awake, which in other parlance is "the time when they needed me to be around and helpful". So that didn't last more than a couple of weeks.
On the other hand, I got a _lot_ of minis painted during the wee hours while the house was quiet and there was even less on TV than usual.
And now I have my Trazodone, which doesn't get me good rest, but does get me more and better rest than I'd get without it.
