I just went back to find when Debby left. I think we'll have to give her a summary of everything that's been happening as we've nattered on for 52 pages! Anyway, she left on the 2nd so she should be back tomorrow shouldn't she? It was 10 days they were going for I thought.

I feel for you guys and daylight 'savings'. I'm looking forward to getting back my stolen hour on April 1st.

I had a few quail chicks hatch overnight - one Button and two Coturnix. I had a peek when I got up but I'll wait until it's light before moving them. Only 3 more days and I can set some for the Easter Hatch-a-long. My Button girls inside stopped laying eggs (though one has started again) but my girls outside came to the rescue and have been laying eggs for me.

We are supposed to be getting brushed by an ex-cyclone but at present it's still as anything outside - not even a breath of wind. I can see it coming on the map though. I've left cleaning out the aviary until after the storm!

Calm before the storm!
 
I went to bed at 3 or 330 last night (so technically 2 cause it jumped straight from 1:59 to 3) and woke up at "11". But then I fell back asleep and just woke up at 3. :/

I feel kinda tired and ehh. I should have gotten up.

Funny thing is, yesterday I was up till like 8 or 9 (kept meaning to go to sleep and even put my phone down at 6 but kept getting back on it) and only slept till 11. Was going to go back to sleep but didn't want to fall asleep till like 2 or 4 or something ha I was meeting a friend although I didn't end up leaving untol untillike quarter to 2 anyways so maybe could have slept more but at least I was ready and left then instead of just waking up then.

ANYWAY.

I felt more refreshed and awake/great than I do now.

I think there's something to be said for getting up the first time.

As for melatonin, it used to work great for me but now often when I take it I am also awake. I thought it was just me or my imagination or something ha

I was given melatonin before, didn't help me in the least.

When melatonin works, it helps you go to sleep. It does not keep you asleep and it is good for resetting your sleep clock.

Sleeping depends or routine. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time. If you have to stay up later than normal, still get up at your regular time.

Melatonin, for those that can take it, can help with the time change. It is taken 30 minutes before you want to go to sleep. It will do nothing if you do not go to sleep then though
 
We now have 4 little Coturnix/Japanese quail babies and they are so adorable. They really want to interact with us and potter over to have a cuddle when we put our hands in. Here's one that our DD has named Snowflake. Her mother is a beautiful and sweet white girl. We also got another white from our golden bunch who are in with a white boy. The other two chicks might turn out to be golden or like Colossus (who I am trying to get a decent photo of).

(I hate how the photos have to be tiny or huge)!
