I don't have any kind of factual answer for this, but I have my experience so at least you know you're not the only one ;) This happens to me a lot - for a start, I find it very difficult to get to sleep every night. Often I'm still up at 6/7am and there have been a few times where I've been awake for nearly 48 hours because I've been unable to sleep at all one night, then I go about my day, then even that next night I can't sleep until the next morning. However, it seems that when I do miraculously get to sleep early, I find it almost impossible to get up the next day.It really is very hard for me to do.
When I've had quite limited sleep or what felt like very light sleep, I feel I function a lot better the next day and don't get so tired during the day. I've put it down to the fact that different people need different sleep patterns. A lot of people need eight hours sleep, or more.
Some people only need a couple of hours at a time. I'm somewhere in between; I function best when I've had 4-6 hours sleep with enough time to eat breakfast in the morning.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
