Sleep for me did not coincide with any particular time of day or night but more so guided by the miles covered and how I was feeling. I rode through most or all of every night. The air seemed stiller in the dark. Never had a problem getting a bed in any of the controls during day light hours.

I ended up in the combatting sleep stage for a while, LWaB dusted me up at the end of one of these stages.
-Rode through the 1st night, the issues in the morning were not related to LEL
-2nd night 1h30 in Brampton, arrived there when a lot of people already left their sleeping quarters
-3rd night 0h45 in Bramtpon after arrving during the morning hours. booked for 1h30 but was awake after 45 minutes. It would have been better to sleep in a field/ditch a few hours earlier.
-4th night, 0h45 in Pocklington. Awoke after 45 minutes went to the loo and decided not to go back to sleep. Failure, I was in zombie mode for several hours.
After that I packed. I was already out of time (arrived in Pocklington with 1 minute to spare) and felt that I needed a serious sleep break before continuing.
It went wrong halfway between Eskdalemuir and Brampton. Note to myself, next time take a sleepingbag again.
