Someone tell me duck has caffeine in it. Cause thats all i had.....and curry. [roll] I need meds. They need to make the world turn slower so we have 36 hour days just so i can sleep.

What's the deal, brain isn't shutting down at night? I get that a lot, constant useless thoughts about things that nothing can be done about anyway.

either that or allergy medicine that puts me to sleep anyway...
Call Millertime...
Within 5 minutes, out cold.
More effective than Ambien!
[laugh]
Not so much...
Or I'd be falling asleep 5 times a day. [laugh]
Still up!!!!! its 4:29am the next day.
Masturbating doesn't help with insomnia, sex does, and quick frankly, it only works with a gf which i dont have right now. Plus, I cant sleep (actually sleeping zZz) with someone i dont trust. And i dont trust a lot of people, i will DEFINTELY not sleep, and if i do, its back to the sleep paralysis and might end up in me freaking out. (if u guys remember that thread lol)
I tried ambien. bad things happened. Will not take it again.
Allergy medicine is great except i feel like shit in the morning. The main ingredient in stuff like is very strong, but the immediate effects last for atleast 10-12 hours, and its after effects lasts for another 12 hours. I used to use bennedryll every night for a few weeks, i popped it in at 8, did a quick 15 minute workout. had a small dinner and i was out by 9/10ish and woke up at 8 feeling all groggy n crap. Not worth it. but it is a good quick fix.
Alochol is make the beast with two backsign awesome as a sleep aid, except it costs too damn much. I need a 12 pack of non light beer to feel like i can sleep. A $8 per 6 pack. Thats $16 bucks to get to sleep every night!!!! Think of the calories and think of the mayhem caused by drinking alone every night! Liqour? Yea, sorry. I drink enough on weekends and I already feel bad about my liver.
There are many more like us ladies and gentlemen...we will one day find a way to sleep among normals...

brain never shuts down. i can tell you when it stoped shutting down. December 2005 is when i first started not being able to sleep regularly.
sign me up!
insomnia's been plaguing me hardcore for the last... year? +?
little voice in my head says it's work related.

I know how you feel - 1999 for me :( Starting to get me down.
i go through bouts of insomnia.
i will be dead tired, barely able to walk to the bedroom and as soon as i hit the pillow i'm wide awake.
i might drift off every couple of hrs, but i'm awake soon afterwards.
i'm still trying to coinvince myself that i really need to go do a sleep study.
Sounds like my overactive ADHD brain. Good night's sleep? Maybe 4 hours if that. Toss & turn and dream all kinds of crazy crap too ~

speaking of dreams. i will be dreaming about something and be half awake. it always takes place int he room that i'm in, i can see what's going on around me (i avoid obstacles, pick the things i want to use in my dream, ect) but i will still be dreaming. for the most part i see everything for what it is, but every now and then i will dream that the shirt hanging off the door is the arm of someone i'm holding over the edge or trying to pull up from the edge of something. i usually just dream that cats are attacking me and i will suddenly spring into action to catch or strike the offending feline (no pets are int he house) apparently i speak very clearly, just like when i'm awake too. my g/f thought it was funny until i was having a dream that i was being attacked or something and as she tried to get me to lay back down i grabbed her by the face and started yelling. if i'm startled as i'm sleeping i will wake up in full fight mode trying to figure out what is going on. the g/f has learned to stay out of leg reach when she startles me. :-[
it seems i have these dreams more right before i stop sleeping well or at all. i havne't found a common trigger for them either. I have stopped drinking anything but water for a few hrs before i sleep (most of the time) and stopped eating before bed as well. the grabbing kathy by the face thing really has me freaked out.
Ive been having that in my sleep apralysis momments. I just stoped opening my eyes. When i do, anything and everything will turn into a demonic object.
I saw a bat with a human face and hands for feet swinging on a ceiling fan. He was laughing at me. when i woke up, eyes STILL open from staring at the fan, the image faded away. Happens with many many things. I also hear shit too. lol
I mean seriously, chuck norris doenst need to sleep, why do i?
plenty of time for sleep when we're all dead... [drink]
last night sucked... got maybe an hour in, woke up, couldn't go back to sleep 'til 3ish... and my alarm is set for 4 :-\ work nights are the worse. weekends, I can... usually... get some decent sleep (5-6hrs)
not to make light of y'all, but I'm really glad I don't get those kinds of wacky dreams.
guess what guys?
cant sleep. ;D
shouldn't you be stressing about school? ;D
I'm yawning, I'm tired, I lay my head down and that's when the trouble begins. Shed, work, taekwondo belt test, daugter's belt test, mods to bike, trees to cut down, sprinklers to repair, etc., etc., etc.
and I'm hungry but trying to lose weight so no fud for meeeeeeeee :'(
I can't advocate anyone else doing this, but......
when this happens to me i get a small tumbler glass. put about 3 oz. of maker's mark in it (you can do it with any burbon/scotch/etc. i'm sure) and then i get two non asprin pain killers (alieve or tylenol are what i usually have in my cabinet) and i crush them with the bottom of the glass. Then I place them in the whiskey, swirl till they dissolve, and then drink down. out like a rock after that.
again, I can NOT advocate anyone mixing medication and alcohol.
*****DO NOT TRY AT HOME******
(but it works for me [evil])
I often relax about an hour or so before bedtime with a nice bourbon or something similar. Seems to help my brain calm down a bit. However, I have dreams that Hollywood can't even duplicate, mostly in the horror genre ~

I had one of those moments. Out like a stone on the living room floor having a chase dream and ex decides to give me a wedgie to wake up. Did Not End Well. Shot up in a panic and struck her before I knew what the hell was going on. Man did I feel bad.
I am always tired when super stressed, such as now. If not stressed, I sleep maybe 5-6 hours a night and I am all right.
damn knight! lol I slept MUCH better when i was with my girl. If i slept in the same bed as a random chick, id be charged with accidental assault. lol
I got home at 8ish today, had dinner at 830, and went to sit own and listen to some muisc, and i was make the beast with two backsing tired as hell, coulnt keep my eyes open, so i passed the make the beast with two backs out for an hour. i woke up at 930 super tired, but i need a shower. now its almost 2 am and i have enough energy to do a 1x1x1 mile triathlon.
What i had for dinner? swine and chicken. small handful, maybe 4-5 pieces each. Nothing to crazy. I havent had any crazy dreams lately though. But i have been having massive deja vue momments.

Can't you get a cheap little window unit to keep your bedroom cool so you can sleep? They also make portable units that sit on the floor and have a flexible vent to blow the hot air outside if you have odd sized windows.
tough work out program.
yoga. (in addition to the workout above)
music with no lyrics. (your choice of type...but the no lyric part is important otherwise your over active brain will latch on and stay active remembering and going over songs later)
those three combined got me to sleep through the night hard. and I'm much healthier.
some martial arts that include some good meditation techniques couldn't hurt.
now i really cant sleep. accidently resent an old email to an ex bf while clearning my drafts for gmail. She wont believe me, and shes been screaming at me for the past 8 hours.
Hey atleast i can watch reruns of todays olympic swimming!
12:43am. the madness has just begun. see you guys at 3am.
who's not tired at all?
this guy! ;D
can someone please turn my brain off so I can get some damn sleep? I'm almost considering calling my doc soon...
it's 1:55 am
And I can't sleep had sex with the girlfriend and everything
And now she's sleeping like a baby lucky her
Think I'm gana see a doc about this
I hear ya. Its 3:44am, and i cant sleep. I went to slepe ast night around 5am. and woke up 9am. and i was tired around 6pm and managed to get 2 hours of shut eye, but as always, my parents wake me up. Ive gotten into fights with them about being quiet, always ends up the same way. Im gonna take out a loan just to move out. Its seriously inflicting health issues on me. I dont think ive had a solid sleeping schedule for 6 months now. If i could do 4am-12pm, id be happy.
If you get some Ambien, you wanna hook a brother with no insurance up? :P id take any job that has medical coverage right now just so i can get on that pill, or better yet, so i can get diagnosed properly, But my main issue is, i am indeed one of those people who suffer from doing random shit without remembering and all sleeping aids have that problem. As well as my make the beast with two backsing insanely loud father and argumentative parents, i wouldnt be able to devote more than 5 hours a night to sleep so, id still need to move out.
[roll] Luckly, i have a whole season of entourage and 2 packs of top ramen.
top ramen? :'(
son, it is ALL about the sapporo ichiban! it's called ichiban for a reason... and is SO worth the extra $.15 a brick
and speaking of things japanese... I am making it suntory time... hopefully, sleep will follow
ichiban is sorry shit excuse for crap. Top Ramen for the win!!!!!
or if you wanted to get serious, its
Can of chicken broth, Bak Chow, Shrimp Mein BBQ honey roast pork and some spicy dumpling sauce, 20 minutes to make, 10 minutes to enjoy. and a smile until your hungry again. WOOOOO
we are SO not arguing ramen bricks [laugh] but my vote for ichiban stands in that their miso base actually almost tastes like decent miso
ah, yes... NMC has reached a new low... [drink]

and that is why I hate cooking. Its like riding a ride at an amusement park. You wait all that time and expend all that effort then 2 minutes later it is gone and you could have just solved the problem with whatever worthless tasting food was just laying around waiting to be eaten. It may not have been as delicious but in the quality vs. effort it pans out.
quality is always worth the effort.
I don't cook at home because I live alone. it's not like the cat's gonna wash my dishes.

I just woke up from a dog dream. Dreamed mine ran away and brought two more home with him. I haven't had that dog in years and he still haunts me! c'monnnnn Tylenol PM, do your thing.
I'm certainly not falling asleep now...
:'(
I'm considering a second Tylenol PM :(
Checked the clock at 2:30AM, again at about 4:15AM. Tossed & turned, pulled the blanked up, kicked the blanket away... I hate it when there's a major change in the weather coming, I just plain out don't sleep.
JM
10:10am, havent slept yet. :o then again ive been doign 2 days in a row without sleep lately. boy does it feel good on the 2nd day.
been lying awake for damn near an hour now.
stupid work nights.
tried to sleep at 1am, saw a movie. now i am trying to sleep again, im beginning another movie. I actually had about 2 weeks where i could sleep ~2am. But for some reason it went away. Woke up at 9am this morning, and i am not the least bit tired, and i need to wake up at 8 tommorow, and wont get home till 11pm.
Who wants to hire me so i can leech of your health insurance? [evil]
:(
Vera Farmiga is hot. (saw the departed for the 11ty billionth time)
2:06..still up. I'm up until about 2-3am everynight. :-\
Go to bed, wake up in 2-3 hours. My brain sucks. It's got too much stuff in it to power down for the night and let me sleep. ADD is a $&#% curse.
JM
Ironically, I am more productive when im sleep deprived. When I do get sleep, i sit around and soak in the feeling of not feeling like shit.
To a point, I am. If I keep a little sugar in my body, I am insanely on-task and get irritated when I get pulled away from what I'm working on ~
JM
I dont get irritated when i get pulled away from something, unless its a personal task that i spent a lot of time on and i dont wanna loose my mode. anyway, im all packed up, now im going to school to learn how to deal with people. [laugh] [moto]
Just saw this thread. I wake up just about every night 15 minutes after I fall asleep with one of the crazy ass dreams mentioned earlier. It is either something in the room or someone messing with my car. I am awake and will answer questions but the fear or anger is still there and I can't be told it isn't real. My gf has finally gotten used to it. She just agrees with me and lets me calm down. I also wake up about every hour.
You got good company. I feel your pain. When I was younger I NEVER would have thought I'd have any problem sleeping. Got my Doc to prescribe a sleeping pill, Sonata. I can take double the dose, go to sleep tired and wake up less than two hours and lie awake all night.
Like you said, take a couple of benedryl and sleep fairly well, but feel off balance and dopey all the next day.
Brain just won't shut off.
LA
so I've been put on ambien.
took some last night, overslept my alarm and was a couple of ticks late to work.
side effects:drowsy! I feel exactly the damn same today... how is this supposed to be better for me? ???
and since doc won't let me drink any caffiene (even AM) WTF am I supposed to do?
I really don't want to have to resort to chemicals. I never know when my phone will ring at 4:30AM and I'll have to be at work in 45 minutes ~
JM
Resorting to chemicals....
I wont go on Ambien or anything like that. those are sleep aids. Not ment for permanent use. A chemical that helps fix something is another thing. Maybe my brain is missing a chemical that induces sleep? i dont know.
I read up on some stuff last week. We have an internal clock taht is based on a 23 hour schedule. SOme of us with odd hours and odd schedules or just interact with certain types of people just have shifted rhythms. We get tired and sleepy based on the people around us and sunlight. Most people will feel tired around the same time the sun comes down, or when people around them sleep.
They did a test where they stuck people inside an apt with no windows and had them live there for a week. Their rhythm got f*ed up and they went to bed later and later. Normally, it is reset by exporsure to sunlight.
I think thats my problem. mine doestn get reset. For me, it go to sleep about 10-15minutes later and later each night until im up for 36 hours straight (wake up, didnt sleep that night, and continued the next day) i finnaly crash ( im at that point right now) and i sleep at 10pm, then he next day, it gets later and later and later.
Then it led to this article on wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome
Thats exactly how i am. I was so tired today, i didnt think i could hop on the bike and ride home. But then after roughing out the 2 hours of consistently dozing of, i was wide awake, went to the gym and now im typing this up. I need to wake up at 7am tomorrow morning, wtf am i still doing up? when i slept 3hours last night? Who knows.
So seriously, who wants to use their med plan to get me some ambien for the rough nights? pretty please ;)
this benedryll stuff is suppose to kill your liver. lol
believe me, I didn't either. it's a trial by my doc...
I mean, it sorta works... he's hoping it'll help me reestablish a proper sleep cycle.
how long have you been on it?
got on it earlier this month... but can't take it w/food, alcohol, must set aside 8 hours...
so btwn my two work schedules, the occasional after beer drinkage, or late dinners (I'd have to take the pill at like 7:30pm to get a full 8) it's been rough to make a completely regular habit.
I've also been banned from caffiene, even in the morning... the day job sucks ass now. well, for a different reason... lack of caffiene...
Chronic sleep probs could be issues not associated with the "brain that can't turn off". Could be stuff like sleep apnea: you get O2 deprived to some degree and your adrenals throw epinephrine into your system to startle you into breathing again. The epi effects last and propagate. Try a sleep clinic .
knowing what my particular sitch is, I'm 99% it ain't apnea ;)
sleeping problem are very hard to diagnose. Theres often many different issues that over lap and it makes misdiagnosing very common.
now as far as a sleep clinic goes, do you wanna pay? [thumbsup]
Ive never had any healthy coverage, and when i last tried to get it(few weeks ago), they want something along the lines of $3000 a year.
btw; its 4am and im not tired. :(
alarm's going off in 3 hours...
:-\

Congrats!!!
I've been able to pass out lately. around 4am, i just knock out. I missed class last week because of an incidence with benedryll that caused me to sleep well over 14 hours. This no sleep thing is litterally driving me insane. And aftter reading this book chris suggested to me and the patient cases, it seems more and more apparent to me that i may have ADD. ???
oH and guys.
if you ever get stuck on an island, and you have to stitch yourself up and you cannot find any local anesthesia, just cut open a benedryll (if you have any) and rub it in. Dont ask how I know.

I hate not sleeping. It makes me cranky and aggressive. Too bad it happens almost every make the beast with two backsing day. It gets worse before big events like trackdays. I don't sleep at all...
The make the beast with two backsed up thing is that I get weird urges. Like right now I feel like running down the streets shouting "death to the infidels" with a severed panda fetus head in one hand and a dora the explorer doll in the other. Where will I get a Dora the Explorer doll at this hour I have no idea :-\

LETS GO RANGERS!
A past "best friend turned gf turned nightmare" (who i dont talk to anymore) kept bugging me and asking me whats wrong with me. I didnt feel like telling her my problems with not sleeping and how horrible it has gotten. After 2 weeks of nagging me over and over again, i got pissed of and told her i didnt wanna throw my problems on people and whine. So another few days of nagging, i finnaly tell her and she goes of on me telling me how i pregnant dog and whine about all my problems, and how i am dramatic about my problems.
People dont get it. nothing, NOTHING in the world is more torturing than not being able to sleep. you could have someone cut your finger off and the pain will subside after a while (or you bleed to death if u dont stop it) but if you dont get sleep when your body desperately needs it. Everything becomes much harder.
1:52am, im gonna go finish spray painting my helmet.
the other thing that makes me want to punch babies is when ppl tell you, "oh, c'mon. all you gotta do is be happy!" like it's that make the beast with two backsing easy, eh?
if I could fall asleep, don't you think I would be, instead of getting frustrated?
T minus 3 hours till 24 hours of being awake without feeling tired. WTF.

still awake. i woke up on monday at 9am. its 3am wednesday morning. havent slept since then. [bang] and i ran out of benedryll.
The michy is still on the bed post, its great for snuggling, but it would be better if it was on my bike and if i could ride. :-[
I've been sleepin' pretty good. like, all damn day since sunday.
of course, I'm sick, but who's counting.
I *heart* nyquil. it's my newest lil'buddy.
man, this has been a terrible week. i think ive been up for about 9 days now with avg 3-4 hours a night.
My started giving me werid stuff to drink and eat, nothing works. then she said, why dont you take a few shots of liqour. i go HAHAHA. now youre promoting alcoholism. :-\ ;D
I have a 64 pack of benedryll but for some reason its not having any affect on me anymore. Do you build tolerances to that type of medication?
Not sure about the credability of this site.
Quote from: Medicine.org
One can develop a tolerance for benadryl, so this drug should not be taken on a long term basis. The literature indicates that tolerance can build up as rapidly as two weeks, or as long as two months. Taking the drug intermittently will prevent tolerance to the sedative effects of Benadryl.
Lemme tell you about Benadryl and me... You know what happens to a car engine & it's power delivery when you hit the nitrous button? That's kinda what Benadryl does with me. I go from 0 to firewall-throttle the second that stuff hits my blood stream. I've tried medication a small amount of red wine, you name it. OTC sleeping meds put my body but not my brain to sleep. So I'm there, still away because my my brain is doing stuff but my limbs weigh more than my bike each.
JM
i know exactly what your talking about. sadly.
You wake up continued where you left off, instead of starting a new day.
Hell ive been up for well over 48 hours already, seen the sun rise for the 3rd time 2 hours ago, atleast i think it was 3. im not sure anymore lol.
Either way, theres a fine line between reality and imagination after a while..... and something needs to stop it. I just hope i can sleep tonight.
dam HE MAN
I hope everything works out for you
that sucks, dude.
I've been up again, but not nearly as bad :-\ pre-holiday shopping has me pulling more shifts at the wine shop, and as slow as we are at the day job, there seems to be JUST enough work for my boss to make me not get weekends.
lately I've been wondering why I work so damn much. it's all I've done since, what, mid-september?
I slept good last night! Well. i passed out from happy hour specials and singapore noodles! that counts right?, ended up sleeping on the backside of my laptop. no idea how the laptop even got there but my face was pressed right up underneath the hot bottom and it kept my face warm all night. :P
Now that school is finished, what will i do with my time? :P

You can definitely build a tolerance to that stuff. Have you seen a doctor about this yet? Ever tried Ambien or Lunesta? Ambien worked well for me in the past. As an added bonus, if you force yourself to stay awake on it, things get very trippy -- tracers and the whole bit. [evil] You know, had to find out.
I was reading Mens Health and it said that Ambien and Lunesta both have side affects that include waking up in the middle of hte night to do things, going back to sleep, and not realize you did any of it.
If you read my other posts before, i tend to have sleep paralysis, and im starting to have a lot of lucid dreams + i still dont have health insurance. lol

Sorry, man, didn't read your other posts or I would have picked up on that. The side effects don't tend to be that common, and Ambien (zolpidem) is available generic if that helps. Good Luck.
I spent christmas eve as a child trying to stay awake to catch santa/parents and now as an adult I'm spending it trying to fall asleep. Weird, I think that was the first time I ever referred to myself as an adult.
Growing up is over-rated. So is sleeping, apparently. I'm on the east coast at the moment, it's past midnight and past my bedtime but I don't think sleep is in the cards for me tonight. No, I don't have any sleep aids, including alcohol and drugs of any kind, so I'll have to figure it out on my own, or wait to see the sunrise. Actually, I'll be happy to see the sun rise. :)
it may be overrated, but it has to happen some time...
just like sleep :D
i got a few bottles of wine. :) Sirah is almost guarenteed to put me to sleep with about 4 glasses.
nice :)
tempranillo night for this guy...

I was reading Mens Health and it said that Ambien and Lunesta both have side affects that include waking up in the middle of hte night to do things, going back to sleep, and not realize you did any of it.
If you read my other posts before, i tend to have sleep paralysis, and im starting to have a lot of lucid dreams + i still dont have health insurance. lol
I do 10mg Ambien pretty much every night now for 2 months and I just cannot believe the difference. I feel fully cogent all day: Piles of mental and physical energy. Never used to. I always looked for a nap after lunch and kind of just looked forward to getting through the day.
Never had a prob with doing things I don't remember. (I sleep with my wife, so I'd find out if I did, FYI) Although it is a listed side-effect from the monograph, so I can only speak from my experience.
You should go to a sleep clinic, do an overnight study and get advice from a neurologist, IMO. Sleep is not over-rated, people. Anyone not getting 7-8 hrs per night is getting screwed over. I used to think I was fine with 4 or 5 too.
isnt ambien suppose to a temporary sleep aid? it doesnt sound like something id want to take forever.
Ive been having friends sleep over, and vice versa, i find that if im around people who have normal sleeping schedules, i fall asleep at the same time they do, even if ive only been up for a few hours. however, ill wake up in the middle of the night several times (like 10-20 times).
hows everyone doing tonight? [bang]
just got home from the night job.
this week's been weird. most nights, 2 hours, tops.
wed night, fell right asleep, got me 7.5 hours... felt like absolute shit! like I didn't sleep at all.
we'll see what this duck and truffle mousse and sauv blanc will do to help me tonight ;D

Great!
This hour just marked the 28th hour I-ve been awake.
Last week I went a full on 57 hours without sleep.
It-s been good though, I-ve had a lot of time to write my book and study
weaksauce.
I'm still up. and feel as though I will be for quite some time.
i went to bed around 7:30am, and thankgod for no school, cause i just woke up and its 1pm. :P
If it wasnt for netflix online, i dont know what id do!
I have givenup on sleep. spent 3 weeks in Japan and now that I amback, NOTHING works. Ambien, lunesta, clonazapan....nothing. I go to sleepfine...then wake up at 2am until 6. Im make the beast with two backsing worthless at work and fighting everyone now.
ugh
back when i was in florida, i slept GREAT on PT days, monday wednesday friday, where i ran 6-7 miles in boots, kevlar and rubber guns. Maybe you should try that?
I dont run anymore though because i dont have much of a place to run around here.
Couldn't sleep at all last night, but it is more to do with jet-lag than anything else.
BUT I think a new 1198(S?) might just appear in my garage shortly after I return from this latest of business trips.

How you gonna sleep knowing that thing is in the garage waiting for you? [laugh]
I don't see that I have much of a choice. I won't be back home for at least another four months... :'(
so... here's the new problem. that night last week were I had the right amount of sleep but it was crap? it's become the norm for any night I happen to fall (and stay) asleep for the 'normal' amount of time.
Okay, its been about 2 months solid now, of being up until 5/6/7 no sleeping at all.
Im desperete for some solutions here. I hear this Meth Amphetamine stuff works pretty well. [laugh]... :(
I think im gonna go back into the benedryl cycle to try and shock my system back to atleast 3am.

so how's that work out if
I 'm a filipino sex slave? only use 4?
but anyway, I'll take some of whatever you're smokin', that's sure to put me out ;)
damn why haven't i posted here sooner, sleep has become a thing of the past
mst3k to keep me company though
sorry, but ive been so occupied...
the secret to sleeping is in my magic book. for only 29.99 you too can get the answers to getting a good night sleep.
sorry, i was just repeating a late night infomercial. ;D
I went back on my benedryll regiment. Well, i need to stop taking it because its causing INSANE irregular heart beats, id jump from normal 70 bpm to 100bpm to 50bpm and then 120bpm etc. completely eradic and random. So i cut the pills in half and that symptom goes away, but i still feel like i have a heavy heart, i guess maybe its sky rocketing my blood pressure. it oesnt put me to sleep, but if i lay down for a long enough bit, i will fall asleep. im gonna try 1/4 pill now.
also dont mix bendryll with alcohol. i wish someone had told me that, its equivalent is probably a long the lines of dirty crack cocaine.
seriously though, i think ive got the answer. it has to do with the sun....
anyone else feel a huge change in their sleeping patterns cause of the Day lights saving time adjustment?
daylight saving time?
ohhhh.... you mean that shit that make the beast with two backss w/the cable TV schedule? makes everything off by an hour?
;)
seriously, though. my bandaid for the night is tequila. clase azul reposado. I do hope it does the trick... there's way too much shit on my plate right now that some escapism would be nice.
I perfer bourbon. but seriously though, ive been looking around theres something called UV therapy that influences your bodys production of melatonin or some shit crazy. Its $80 bucks, im thinking about buying the bulb and sticking it into a controlled night light. supposely helps you sleep and wake up.
if it works as good as those melatonin pills I tried, I'd rather spend the coin on some single malt...
or weed/loose women, if my coworkers have anything to say about it.
which I still think is pretty make the beast with two backsing lame. [roll]
well you just saved me a few bucks. :/ weed and cheap hookers sound like a much better investment.

I understand there's a similar device using compressed air
but the pill itself is more expensive that way. and my compressor isnt comming until next week.
I forgot all about this thd!
too bad I still don't have internet at home, I'd be more active [roll]
im too excited waiting for my compressor to arrive. my new Hypersmooth Pony powder coat gun needs to stretch its legs (current compressor is away on active duty)
at least it's something good keeping you up at night [thumbsup]
wish I could say the same

:-[
lol. i slept well last night. but thats partly because of the green monster nyquil.
ambien and some Klonopin makes this thread useless!
ambien makes me a zombie
starting to think maybe I could start a nyquil habit
[evil] im thinking evil things that are keeping me up....
1) i need to clean out my garage
2) I need a more professional looking PC oven
3) I WANT a bitubo steering damper
4) I need to fix the dent in my spare gas tank
5) I WANT a new triple tree...
finnaly wouldnt it be nice if i had the spare cash to pick up this crashed daytona 675 and turn it into a sick track bike?
also, winter seems to be comming late this year...that just means it will be one make the beast with two backsing cold ass winter.
:'( I was up all night and just could not sleep :( On top of that, got the ear beeping louder than usual now. This just sucks. Thinking too much about
of all things asp mvc as i am studying. Not fun thinking about n-tier, loops and classes while trying to fall asleep.
I just sent an email to my boss that I am not feeling well and will take sick day :'(.
This really su*ks.
Go see your doctor about your sleeping habits.
Woke up an hour ago. Smelling colonge. (?!). R doesn't wear it, I certainly don't. I'm sandwiched between the cat & R, can't stretch out like I need to... Still have colonge in my nose & it's giving me a headache. How weird is this?! (Rhetorical.) Maybe I'll get some sleep if I lay on the cold kitchen floor.....?

The fire went out and it started getting cold. That made the yellow dog start to toss & turn on the bed in between me & Joy. So I got up and made another fire. Now sleep is coming again, so back to bed at 4:30

It was R's new deoderant! Axing the "Axe"! [roll] [laugh]
One word: lunesta.
You need a prescrip to get it but it makes you sleep like a baby and you feel refreshed (rather than groggy/hungover) in the AM
I'll just post now and get it over with. Until R replaces his new deoderant with something else, I'm either going to go sleepless again or go to another bed. Maybe my exhaustion will keep me from waking up tonight.....
another bed. im up but excited to sleep. i bough a new contour memory foam pillow today. On sale pre thanksgiving.
Its about 1:50am and im thinking about moving the laptop from my desk to my bed so i can continue my aimless wanderings.
I will not go on sleeping pills. I dont think I have insomnia. I just think my brain is over active and i think too much.

I am exactly the same way. An MD recommended I take a pill called Calms Forte. It
really helps. It is not a sleeping pill. It is non-narcotic. It will not make you sleepy. It won't give you a drugged feeling.
Why it
does do, is make my brain shut the hell up so I can get some sleep.
My stance on sleeping pills is "no drugs". My usual stance on a supplement from a natural food store is "hippy, new-age, bullshit". The SO bought this stuff after hearing the doctor recommend it. Then brow beat me into taking it.
IT WORKS!
One of the reasons I have a motorcycle is because while riding it my mind shuts down and lets me enjoy the moment.

havent been able to sleep for the past 3 weeks again. :-\
however ive been able to come home, say make the beast with two backs. nap from 4pm-8pm and just stay up all night. so i get some sleep. life is good...not really
whos up?
I've been in a similar boat the last few weeks. Can't get shit for sleep at all during the night unless I self medicate by taking a couple of muscle relaxers and washing them down with a beer (or stronger). Last night was really bad, I laid down at around nine thirty and dozed off only to wake up around eleven and not be able to get back to sleep to save my life. Surprised I am still awake and writing this now...
benedryll. use sparingly
also tequila. lol
[bang] [bang] [bang]
anyone else up?
Fell asleep on the floor watching tv. Woke up at 12:45am. Now 3:30. Have to be up in 2 1/2 hrs. Grr...
My brain won't STFU! >:( I hate my brain.
Ugh... :P
I actually slept pretty well last night. And that was even with the ex-wife trying to call and complain about things. Got to love turning the phone off. ;)
ex wife? isnt she an ex wife for a reason. :P
i slept from 5-8am last night. tired as make the beast with two backs today, ready to pass out all day, and i thought i was going to just black out around 7pm, but didnt want to. So i went to doodle on my pad, the nwatch the steelers game...

What? Like the fact that scientists found a way to move light particles faster than the speed of light thus proving Einstiens theory on time travel? That one freaks me out a little. Here's a new one I just found:
http://www.universetoday.com/2009/06/30/device-makes-radio-waves-travel-faster-than-light/ (http://www.universetoday.com/2009/06/30/device-makes-radio-waves-travel-faster-than-light/)
That article was complete bs on the account that it had no information on what the device was doing. So I cant really comment on "moving a light particle faster than light" cause it makes no mention of actually doing that. The writer sure did sound like she messed up the main idea of the scientist she was interviewing though...
Im no expert, but i know you can make things appear as if they were traveling faster than light, but the end result of appearing is perspective based, not actually moving a light particle faster than light.
I wish there was more on that. But this whole stuff is pretty make the beast with two backsing crazy to begin with.

No no. That article was on radio waves traveling faster than light. Here is a link to the article on Backwards pulse propagation(light faster than light):
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/312/5775/895 (http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/312/5775/895)
You'll have to register to see the whole article, but basically what happens is that as the light passes through a gas(ebrium?) at certain intervals through a fiber optic cable. The obstruction of the gas causes the light wave to be "Backed up", much like ocean waves hitting a reef, the forward face of the wave compensates by moving faster in an arc than the speed the wave is traveling. The speed of light. So, in the ocean, the current may be going 5-10 MPH, the forward face of the wave can travel in eccess of 30 mph. That's the way my psuedo-educated mind understands it. I've lost my old links, but I have the full article with links in a PDF. PM me if you want it.
Thats just a product of viewing angle. they call it superluminal position. Its not that the wave travels faster, it just appears that way because of how the photons reach our eyes.
The idea of moving faster than light is pretty hard to break down since we build things based on the idea of special relativity. Though if special relativity were to break down, it doesnt seem like it would affect quantum mechanics, which seems to be as concrete as newtons laws of motions as far as i can tell. So I say shoot for the moon, maybe you can travel faster than light!

You should read the article. It's a bit more than that. A quote from the article:
QuoteTime evolution of the pulse as it
propagates through the fiber. The data have been
normalized at each point in the fiber to remove the
effects of gain. The peak of the transmitted pulse is
seen to exit the fiber before the peak of the
incident pulse enters the fiber, and inside the fiber
the peak moves from right to left as time increases.
The arrows mark the peak of the pulse before
entering the fiber (left), within the fiber (center),
and after leaving the fiber (right). The time
intervals are in milliseconds.

Can't. Alcoholic on the wagon. Conflicts with my meds too. Works well when I'm not taking meds though. Tried melatonin? Useually works for me, and alot easier on the system than Benedryll(Diphenhydramine). I'm tiered. Good night
melatonin? isnt that a chemical you make from being in the sun?
I dont take meds cause i dont have health insurance. shit is way to expensive for my blood, which is why i keep it in my body and not on the floor.
Benedryll works great, but usually i just have a cyclical crash on and off. 2 days up, 1 day sleeping. works for me. in fact im on my 2nd day up. crash monday night....after MNF of course.

i read an article one time about Melatonin, and i always get mixed up because of this article.
It said that they took a few people and placed them in a room with no windows for a week or two. This person started to fall asleep based on the light cycles given off by the lamp. So when he thought it was day, he would have the lamp on, and when he thought it was night, he had the lamp off. This whole thing causes his meletonin levels to react to the lamp. But i cant seem to find any stuff on melatonin being controlled by light exposure. :-X
got the article btw. thanks, ill read it later this week. Now...back to work!

In case you can't sleep after your test. Here is the complete article on the subject of Radio Waves being manipulated to Superluminal velocities. I wasn't able to follow most of it, but assuming the math is acurate(probably is), that is quite a discovery. Could really change the information age alot.
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/physics/pdf/0405/0405062v1.pdf (http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/physics/pdf/0405/0405062v1.pdf)
As for the article I e-mailed you, you might be right, but I have read other sources in reguards to sending opticle information faster than light speed also(citing Robert Boyd's discovery). Can't find them now and I lost all my links on the subject. BUT, the above article on superluminal radiowaves kind of set precident for other advancements past Einstien's law. IE: No information can surpass the speed of light. And since radio waves and light waves are very similar, I can only suspect that, as Singleton stated, this could be how pulsars work.
Thats one make the beast with two backsign long as paper....
Its getting way beyond my scope of knowledge. But from reading bits and pieces, it still doenst look like they are making a photon go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, they are just making it appear that way.
Yea, I'm lost as soon as it gets to the math. ???
But the other article, assuming the intro and synopsis are correct, they did infact send high frequency radio waves faster than light. Obviously, this has nothing to do with time travel or anything, but cool none the less. Could make Sat phones normalized. No repeaters needed. I'd love to have DSL speed internet in the middle of the boonies.

Hi all. Checking in. Woke up @ 4 tossing & turning. Finally came downstairs for a bite to eat after figuring out that I was hungry. Now I have to get up in an hour and my brain is nearly going wide-open-throttle....

I guess not tonight. [roll]
its 5am. i just woke up.
Valium :)
still up here...
morning!
yes it is...
Well, I got back from Iraq at 6am thursday. Got loaded Thursday night and woke up at 4 am Friday. Started drinking at roughly 3pm Friday and went to sleep at about 10 pm, waking up at 4am. Slept maybe a combined 2 hours last night up to about 3am. Been up since then. Just about 1130 now and I have consumed just over half a bottle of rum. I'm hoping to sleep for a couple hours here shortly. And then maybe consuming the rest of the rum will let me sleep tonight. Fingers crossed.
welcome home! :)
and good luck on the sleep thing
hi
4am now. I think I've slept for about 45 minutes tonight....
Uh, yeah. Today's gonna suck later. [roll]
this is the most neglected ongoing thread in the world.
3:36am sinus infection has wrecked my sleeping schedule for the past month. :(
i think the infection is spreading to my brain.
Who needs sleep?? I operate at maximum capacity between 2am-5am. This is when I get the most partying done or the best night/morning rides in. It's going on 4 now. WOO Slightly completely smashed intoxicated.
Sleep's a crutch. Call me Tiny Tim.
I'm with winsome....Except I'm not partying, usually I have to get my work done between 10pm and 5am cause I gotta watch our 7 month old the rest of the time.

I just got home from a midnight 20min ride....

Wow, did you stop to help? I was in a situation like this once with a young girl who crossed the double yellow and head on collided with a jeep at 50+ each. Watched her die in her seat, she had been texting.

and the meds wore off. it feels like my shoulder is being ripped open and off.

Not for too much longer. When I had my shoulder injury the vicadin would make me dizzy so I just took extra strength Tylenol. I remember it was difficult to sleep cause I normally had that arm above my head. What meds did they give you?

i'm on percoset 5. or ratrher the generic version of it

Warning with the pain meds T!
They stayed in my body and seriously messed me up after my surgery a few weeks ago.
I'm sort of an anti-pill person myself, not that I won't take them if necessary, I just prefer to take as little as possible.
Once you're over that initial hump when things are still really sensitive it'll be easier to sleep.
Maybe you can use this opportunity to conduct a sleep study: does bacon help you sleep. ;)

It's tough to get the Docs to give stronger than Percocets. 5/325.
After my bad accident this past Fall w, 7 broken Ribs, , crushed Elbow, Knee , Ankle , messed up Shoulder, really bad Whiplash, 2 snapped tendons in 2 Fingers, I was on Oxycontin for 2 weeks , plus Percocets . Then Percocets for 4 months until my right Calf got a Staff Infection and swelled up like a Zucchini and had to have Surgery.
I complained that the Percocets ( 2 -5/325 at a time ) every 4-6 hours weren't doing much to alleviate my pain.
So I was put on a new drug I had never heard of, Nucynta. I was supposed to take 1 every 4-6 hours but if I took 2 it would really kick my ass
Obviously I couldn't keep that up since the Doc would only write the Script for so many for a certain time frame.
If you don't want your Bowels to quit working eat about 8 prunes a day plus take a Stool softener pill each day.
Eat plenty of Fiber and drink plenty of water.
Dolph
yes i'm off of work.
i need to sleep. i will start halucinating soon.
dolph, i'm doing the fiber and stool softener thing too
right now i'm on 2 5/325 pills every 3 hrs and it's barely doing anything.

Pain meds. Ive never had to have them. not sure how much pain is so much pain where you need meds 24/7. I feel sorry for you guys. Hope i never have to be there.

This is probably the worst pain ive ever felt. it was when i burned my leg on the header of my exahust a week later i caught an infection. I couldnt walk right for almost 3 months. So its probably because i dont get that seriously injured much....also becasue i dont have health insurance so i cant afford to go doing things without thinking a few times over if i can get hurt. :-X ive had a lot of other pains from doing contact sports. but it doenst sound that bad compared to the shit you guys have been through!

That's a very nasty burn. 15 years ago I had a second degree chemical burn and the Doc gave me Vicodin for the pain. That burn you have looks like it was REALLY painful.
I was 3 years old and went to the grocery store with my Mom. A guy pulled up on a H-D , it was Summer and I had on a pair of shorts and climbed on before Mom could stop me.
I don't remember the rest but I spent a week in the Hospital from my leg coming in contact w, the exhaust.

Broken Collar Bones are the pits.
I broke my right one in HS in Gym Class Wrestling and then the left one in a Motocross accident.
I didn't get a plate but the one I broke from wrestling I was home that night after having it set and in the figure 8 brace and I was in a Recliner and went to get up and unset it and had to go back to the ER and go through getting the knee in the back while the Doc spread my Shoulders as far as he could while a nurse tied the brace down as tight as possible.
Makes me cringe now some 45 years later.
There's no comfortable position w, a broken Collar Bone especially when in bed trying to sleep.
I feel your pain 2 times......plus I have had now in 3 years 14 broken Ribs and several will never knit since they are not in alignment.
Dolph
damn man!
thats some shit right there. Ive never broken a bone. aside from fractured skull from getting a baseball bat to my forehead. got 12 stitches and a concussion and called it a day.
The burn hurt like a son of a pregnant dog. And pain killers would of been nice. im not sure waht degree you would call it since i never went to the hospital for it. Over the course of several months, i was using this Powder my mom makes for treating open wounds.
It didnt hurt that much really. But i was using a powder ointment to treat burns.... When I applied it. I dont know how to say it, but i much rather get all my teeth drilled out at the same time. It was an hour of the most intense pain in the world. Sweating, screaming and vomitting from the pain the pwoder caused. It was like acid etching your raw skin.
The worst part about it, is the fact hat its on my ankle. which needs to bend for me to walk. So i was pretty much on crutches for 2 months and whenever i laid my foot down the new skin would break and id bleed. The only other serious injury i had was a baseblla bat across my skull, 12 stiches. and i had my finger cut to the skin on the backside, that was like 12 stiches too. They werent so bad. I didnt get licodine or whatever for the stiches on my skull, that one really hurt, but the doc was really good, so it wasnt that bad. And i was too young to remember my finger.

I sort of know what you mean about the Ankle thing.
I went to Jamaica one Summer on Vacation and laid on the beach the 1st day there and burnt the tops of my Ankles so bad that I couldn't walk because of every step my Ankles had to bend.
The Native people said to put Coconut oil on them and it would take the sting out of the burn.
It sort of did but not enough.

When my left shoulder decided to give up on me and dislocate. I pitched forward and fell about 12 feet onto it and broke my clavicle. That sucked.
My Coach said not to do it, as I wasn't strong enough yet (I was 17) but I did it anyway. My Coach sadi "See... told ya."

Hey Ryan...
hey look... a text!
I should have been posting up in here last night, as I couldn't sleep a wink past 1:30 am.
i broke my right clavicle once before in HS tackling the star running back in practice. i learned why he was so hard to takle. i spent 2 weeks on the couch.
that was also the last time i played organized football
i'm back to not being able to sleep.
i'm finally off the pain meds and feel like i am thinkign totally clearly.
i can't stop thinking about my bike and the accident.
they finally gave me the total for my bike, but they haven't called me back to tell me how much it will cost to keep it.

Not to sound overly stupid ....but haven't any of you guys tried Ambien ( Zolpidem ) ?
Works for me .
If you have Health Insurance it's cheap.

Ambien + shots = good nights sleep. [drink]

teh reason i can't sleep is because i sit arounf the house doing nothing all day and i've been on pain killers and couldn't help but to fall asleep randomly for the past 2.5 weeks
also, i'm not a fan of taking pills.
play xbox

I would imagine playing xbox would hype you up quite a lot .
Almost like doing a hit of speed .

what???? Lol speed and xbox? wtf

wait, you mean you don't take speed and play xbox?
no man. you take ecstacy
oh dude that sucks. I've been there.
Get off the meds asap I say. Damn pills will
mess you up so bad.
switch to tylonal PM or ambian.
My problem is these random nights when I think I'm going to sleep so I don't take anything and then... Hello 4AM. I'M AWAKE.
Why is it always 4:AM?
Quote from: KnightofNi on May 27, 2010, 11:49:51 PM
i'm back to not being able to sleep.
i'm finally off the pain meds and feel like i am thinkign totally clearly.
i can't stop thinking about my bike and the accident.
they finally gave me the total for my bike, but they haven't called me back to tell me how much it will cost to keep it.
i played call of duty for a bit last night and had to switch to racing games. i was moving way too much and hurting myself. lol
I havent been able to stay asleep for more than an hour or two a night for the past 3-4 days.
I feel like i went cold turkey after being on coke for the last week and im wired 24/8.
I'm going to try and score some Valium tomorrow (that's not a joke). :-\
I'd normally drink myself silly, but drinking doenst put me to sleep, it just knocks me out.
Alcohol doesn't allow your mind to get into REM sleep cycles and that's where you get your most restful sleep.
Try to get a scrip for Dalmane.
It will knock you out for all night.
Even more so than Ambien CR , or any of the more popular sleeping aids.
Dolph :)
It's 1:00am and I'm wide awake, I have a big day tomorrow(today) starting with my sons early morning basketball practice, yet I'm still wide awake.
I have recently become addicted to those 24oz Rockstar sugar free drinks, needing two a day, [wine] to help me rip threw my day with a workout or two.
The problem is the timing of that last can, an hour too late and the night ends up like this. :)
Try Tapas Accupressure Therapy. I slept 3-4 hours a night for 30 years...........I was up all the time. I did tat therapy 3 weeks ago and shut down completely. I sleep anywhere from 7-12 hours a day now. Nothing is more important. You don't need meds or drugs you need to learn how to self calm. Sounds silly I know, but it has worked for me. TAT lets you put things back in your brain in the storage cases.........things that you dont need to worry about because you cannot change them anyway. So look up TAT investigate it, try it with an open mind and see if it works for you. It did me.
Hope this helps those of you who cannot turn off when you need to.
Failing that, a massive glass of vodka will have you out in about 13 seconds flat! [laugh]

I have this nasty habbit.
If i sleep at 10pm, no matter how tired, i wake up multiple times though out the night thinking its much later (because im use to sleeping so little, i think its am already).
Last week after not sleepign for nearly 36 hours, i hit the sack at 10pm TIRED AS HELL. wake up at 12am 2am, 4am, 7am. the whole time thinking its 9am or something.
Today same situation, 10pm slept (after not sleeping since waking up sunday morning) and woke up at 1:30am. not tired anymore.
WTF? but if i sleep at 5am, i can sleep a solid 9 hours.
i wake up at 7-10am everyday, depending on what im doing. and i hit the gym pretty much everyday, so i have no excuse to not be tired :(
SHIIIIITTTTTT
It's 3am and I have class at 8am
SHIIIIIIIIT

This sounds painfully familiar :)
While I'm not a student anymore, my body still gets upset if I go to bed any earlier than 10. Take tonight for instance.
9:30 - in bed
12 or so - room mate yelling at video game (ok, that's not my body's fault)
2:30 - WIDE A-make the beast with two backsING-WAKE
4:39 - current time
I'm hoping to get at least an hour before my docs appointment at 7:30, so I guess we'll see.
Update:
There is still nothing in the fridge that interests me. Check back in within the next 16 or so minutes. I may find something on my next trip to the kitchen.
6:20 - final update. Still nothing to be had in the fridge, but all of the dishes are done. I'm gonna go get breakfast.
I dont know if Im lucid dreaming or im having thoughts.
My mind is running a dream like scneario, i cant control what i think, but i am perfectly aware of whats going on, and I can snap out of it if i want to. But im totally immersed in the dream cause for whatever reason its like live role playing. After a while (i have no idea how much real time has passed), i completely knock out.
No idea why this happens. But usually its a precusor for sleep paralysis, xpt this time it ddint get to that stage.

Then again it's 3:30 and I'm still up.
Monster Low carb and Monster Absolute zero all the way.

Dew do dewwwww
I do my best sleeping on the couch with the TV going...sometimes the TV dialogue merges into my dream space and the characters in my dreams are saying the things coming out of the TV
My charming sleep cycle is: dead-out by 8 pm....wide awake at 12 midnight or 1 am...../get on the computer for 2 or 3 hours....pass out again on the couch.....up again around 5:30-6 am
no sleep paralysis lately thank God
but the second round of sleep between 3 and 5 am I get REM.... and I usually get make the beast with two backsing nightmares that would make Steven King envious and would inspire him to write another hundred books
all the evil shit of my childhood and worse comes to life and wakes up when my brain is asleep and unguarded
I hope hell isn't as bad as these nightmares...or that this is a preview of my hereafter for eternity<laughing>

Jeebers Rat. Now my tornado with DucMouse dream seems so silly.
It does suck....sometimes I'll carry a "dream-hangover" with me halfway through the day before it recedes...
residual shadow feelings of dread, terror, horror, sorrow...ugh....all the fun things you feel at the dark end of the human living experience
can't turn my back on my own brain for a second....
If you have ever felt something in life....I guess your brain can serve it up for you to re-live it....

I ate a pound of bacon for lunch around 1pm...
Then I toasted bread with the bacon drippings in the pan...
Then I fell asleep from around 4ish until close to 8pm...

nah I just woke up...and I am finally getting around to packing and looking for my passport....off to Italy tonight
connector in Paris so I am packing a carry-on only....looks like it is ready to burst....
still better than having luggage sent on to Algeria or Kabul or somewhere
while I am on my way in the opposite direction
Only carry-on FTW.
Where ya going in Italy?
I take it you've been getting yourself on Euro time for a couple of days pre-trip? I do that every time I cross an ocean, makes a world of difference once I've arrived. Of course that means I'm a total nightmare to be around right before a trip
Bouncing around...Florence and Montecatini up north
then down to Amalfi...then to Pompeii
As for time-zone prep...what time-zone? :)
I am assigned projects to work in all different time zones so I adjust accordingly
my natural home-clock hasn't worked for years even though I am sitting in NY
"smelly sockclusters" ? That's what you give me on the 2 word thread, Rat?!
Sorry I'm late.
;)
LOL...sorry was still ramping up and merging onto the caffeine highway
now packed, passport secured...wrapping up work notifications
and really awake...
have a great time :)
oh I hope so....
if I have decent web access I may travel-blog it here with the "World as seen thru the eyes of Rat perspective" ;D

Not a spy... :)
just a keen observer of the human species with an eye that needs to study and document the aberrant and the abhorrent
If I can get on line I will blog if there is any worthy material...
Any city like Montecatini...(first stop)
which the Medici's ransacked in the 1500's and found that only the windows and doors to be worth stealing and taking back to Florence
...well.....that has to be a magical place of nothingness....the proverbial empty chamberpot at the end of the rainbow of epic disappointments
Imagine the return of the Medici Army to Florence....carrying window sashes and doors....how heraldic and triumphant they must have NOT felt

He may be helping you diagnose your restless leg syndrome?!
i have....well. for the most part slept VERY well this summer. Nothing on my mind bothering me.
I made some rules nad have kept it pretty well and i think they helepd me greatly.
1) No computer usage 1 hour before bed time.
2) bed is ONLY for sleeping and making the slippidy sliddy
3) 1 serving of Tart Cherry Juice a day.
With those things combined, i can fall asleep within 10 minutes usually. I feel like a freaking HUMANBEING!!!!
However since school just started up and stress multiplied, im not sure who it will work out.
Ive been up for 22 hours now and im tired nad stil able to stay awake, but the second i hit that sack, i will pass the make the beast with two backs out! which is the 2nd best feeling in the world...to fall asleep when your sleepy that is.
if only i could follow those rules...& the "slippidy sliddy" is that what the kids are calling it these days? :) .... i was is san francisco all evening, just got home. my cousin is being treated at the children's hospital there for an immune deficiency disorder & things are looking pretty bleak... the hospital visit aside it was a really nice night in the city. i got in a few minutes (literally) of beach time but the ocean always improves my mood :) i also decided that sf has to be the monster capital of cali. i saw 7 in the span of about 10 mins & they weren't in a group! all either riding single or parked all alone.... k i guess this is enough insomniac babbling for 1 night :)
Sorry to hear about the cuz's trials E
I have been having dreams nightly about Ratwood Manor
It is beginning to be unsettling....I hate rats despite the screen name and they are a central piece
of each dream....gotta be childhood shit coming to the surface when I am not awake to control my make the beast with two backsing mind
or down in A-ville to control the situation first-hand
Last night I dreamt the house was a 3 story Victorian tumble-down that was missing the entire front corner
and there was a squadron of homeless crack-heads living in doggy crates along the foundation wall in harmony with the rats
what the make the beast with two backs?
Baby has been up since 3:45 am.. gotta be up in an hour for work.. fun day? Doubtful.

Anyone... up since 4am.. apparently my daughter only needs 5 hrs of sleep
Big ass storms blew in last night around 1:00AM. Lots of lightning, thunder and rain. Knocked the power out until 8:00AM today. Dog went nuts, she freaks at rain and thunder. Non stop pacing and panting and trying to get on our bed. I bailed for the guest bedroom for a change of scenery. I had a great all day ride planned today with a buddy and needed sleep. Got zero. [bang] :P Tossed and turned all night. It was warm with no AC or ceilng fans... power out and all. When it came back on I had to email my friend and bow out of a great ride. Not in the proper mental state for an all day high speed ride on a Hayabusa. Recipe for disaster. We'll plan on a re-do and I plan to make up my lost sleep tonight. [thumbsup] I'd better!! >:(
its really werid how some people are so dead tired after being up for 12-13 hours. But others dont seem to notice that 24 hours passed by without any problems.
i started watching gold rush alaska thinking that would put me to sleep...yeah, didn't work...
Try watching Baseball.......works for me!
i'm trying to get to sleep.
so far i have napped for 30 min
blah...
Daughter woke up at 4 somthing.. can't go back to sleep.. yay and work starts at 830...

It's almost December again...
And you have been sleeping well since July?
:-[
It seems this thread has been revived. Okay. I'll contribute.
For the past month or so, I haven't been sleeping well at all. It seems as if I am exhausted as long as the sun is up, but once it goes down, I am wide awake. Even after not sleeping the night before, if I am awake until 10 pm the next night, I hit a second wind and can't sleep again. Tonight has been another one of those nights. I got home from work, and literally fell asleep on the couch without meaning to. I woke up a couple of hours later, and have been up ever since.
I read somewhere that spending some time in nature can help reset your natural clock. For instance, go camping over a long weekend and adhere to the hours of daylight and darkness for the respective times to be awake or asleep. I may be giving it a try in the near future.
Not me, pregnant doges! ;D
I wake up in a giant puddle of pillow drool pretty much every morning, and sometimes even wake up in the exact position I fell asleep in. I think it's because I have stopped giving a shit, generally speaking.
Sorry.....
make the beast with two backs it... I'm awake... Happy Easter!!!
Digging up threads from the graveyard...
Exhausted... turn out the lights... in bed and asleep before it’s dark...
