god damnit

Wish I would have known this was here last night.

Tried the bed, tried the couch, tried the floor...hell, I even tried sleeping out on the patio. Nothing is working anymore.

Insomenia is the LEAST talked about, or its talked about as not a big deal, condition in the entire world. I'm serious. It fucking sucks.

When I'm going through heavy stress times, I can sleep for about 3 hours and I might as well get up and work, cuz I ain't gonna sleep.

Then about mid day when everyone is cruising, I'm fucking hurtin.

Doesn't help that my fucking cat keeps crawling on top of me and sleeping.

And am I the only person who has to be on their side in order to sleep? If I'm laying flat on my back, I just can't do it. I have to roll over.

^^ I have my moments where it's impossible to sleep on mah back.

I'm with you. I don't think I've ever slept on my back. Don't even understand the concept. It just doesn't feel right.

Agree, but I don't need stress for this to happen to me. Sometimes (like earlier this week) I'll just go a couple of nights in a row that I wake up at about 1:30am and feel like I could run a marathon. A couple hours later I'll be able to go back to bed, but the next day is always a fog.

And I also need to sleep on my side, but my knees can't be touching.

Sounds like a thread for me. I have not one, but two types of insomnia. Regular sleepless insomnia, and slow-sleep insomnia. Honestly the slow-sleep is the worst. For those who don't know, instead of cycling through the stages of sleep every while it can take hours to cycle through each stage of sleep... so while you may be unconscious for eight hours you might only reach stage two of sleep and therefore never reach a deep sleep. At least when I just don't fall asleep I'm aware of it, but slow-sleep is by far worse the next day.

Also I cannot sleep on my back either.

Two shots of Cuervo and call me in the morning.

All it takes is one night where I'm unable to sleep to throw off my entire sleeping pattern for 2 or so weeks.

This is where I needed to be last night. I couldn't get to sleep....I'm still pissed and it still hurts. God damn...

lol you serious?

i wish i found this thread a while ago.

you can get insomnia from being in front of a computer for too damn long. happened to me during winter. fucking stayed in front of this piece of shit for a while

I've been having problems sleeping ever since my doctor told me I never even had the thyroid problem I was diagnosed with 5 years ago.

This is what happens when you stay up until 6am every night watching playoff games. Now I can't sleep. Hopefully, for a few reasons, the Wings can wrap it up tomorrow.

Try a hooker next time.

I've been up 17 or so hours now. I'm starting to think that sometimes it's not a case of me being unable to sleep, but rather me not wanting to.

WTF did I just say?

I have found that it sometimes helps to get away from the computer and into a thing called a "bed." Or, if you have a laptop, "turning it off" or "closing the lid." Both can be effective sleep techniques.

This damned movie they're filming here needs to go away. I've been up till 10 in the morning 5 nights the last week and then I have to get up at like 2. Crazy shit.

If they worked, I wouldn't have started this thread.

The I Can't Fucking Sleep Because the Wings Blew it in the Last Minute Thread.

If it gets serious, take a fucking Ambien. You sleep, you relieve the stress of not sleeping, so you sleep some more.

I'm actually feeling tired right now. Gonna try this sleep thing again.

Drugs can put you in a coma, that's sorta like sleep.
I haven't read any of this thread.

Not sleeping can put you in your grave

bs, errybody knows sleep is the cousin of death.

Which is why I never go to bed with a New York State of Mind.

Timb, stavation is a quick path to sleep.
Your body depletes it's energy. It resets your cycadian cycles to maximize daylight .

Could only get a little more than 2 hours. I fell asleep with the Tigers game on, woke up and the game was still on. Leave it to the fucking Tigers...

This is not a joke:

I had a dream last night that I was hanging out with a couple of my friends, and Uncle Mxy called me up to try and sell me something (I don't remember what it was, some device or something). Keep in mind that I've never met Uncle Mxy in my life, nor do I have a clue as to what he is like outside of WTF, but if it's like my dream he has a high voice and introduces himself over the phone as "Uncle Maxy."

I think I need to take a while away from WTF if posters are haunting my dreams.

I can't stop laughing.

I'm right there with ya SDB. I'm at work right now (school) and I'm in my office and 3 people had to come down the hall and make sure I was okay because I've been laughing for a good 4 or 5 minutes straight.

Bwahahaha!

1) No, I don't do sales. Decades ago, I had a sales gig for a couple months. I was good at it by being slightly disingenuous, taking advantage of people who didn't know better (which is how they ended up with me in the first place). I decided that wasn't for me.

2) My voice is kind of a low baritone. The most defining characteristic is that I'm loud. I have to consciously think to NOT speak through my diaphragm.

3) I pronounce it "Mixy", short for "mix-el-plix" or "mix-yez-pitellick" depending on which comic book geek you talk to. The name is an old BBS handle from the '80s. I needed a throwaway name to cause some mischief long ago. I was watching Saturday morning cartoons, specifically this episode of the Superfriends:

http://www.tv.com/superfriends-the-legendary-super-powers-show/uncle-mxyzptlk/episode/194803/summary.html

I resuscitated it for modern-day web-fangled BBSes today.

The real question I have is -- did you buy what I was selling? ;)

I'm pretty sure I kept politely trying to tell you I couldn't buy it from you, that I just wasn't interested right now. That doesn't mean that you didn't continue to sell me, which of course in a dream can get annoying.

Mxy was just trying to make it a great day.

Did you have to send SDB in to get rid of Mxy?

I've been working out again, now that I'm finally in a good state of mind . Last person you want to see is me.

Nah, besides having an annoyingly high pitched voice and sounding like a used car salesman, I have no problem with Mxy.

<laughs>

Someone in my family IS a used car salesman, but that's because he likes to fix up shitty cars and resell 'em. He has a steady stream of cars on blocks on the lawn, held together by coat hangers, bondo, iffy weld jobs, and miracles. And no, he doesn't have a high-pitched voice. :)

check.



my sleep schedule's a wreck right now.

Same here.

Same.

Wil?

Does it count if my ex is throwing off my sleep schedule by repeatedly coming over to crash at my place? (No sex involved, unfortunatley)

Did you at least make her kiss and wash your feet?

Naturally. With expensive oils.

Is Kelsey your ex now?

Nope, we never dated

She did bring you cookies, though.

Zekyl supplied the "milk" of course.

Dear Zekyl,

Please make it better. Amen.

(why I can't sleep)

My sleep schedule's such a wreck. My work schedule makes it impossible.

Roughly, I work:

Sun: 10-4
Mon: 1-11:30
Tues: 10-6:30
Wed: 5:30 PM-2:30/3:00 AM
Thurs: OFF
Fri: 1:00 PM - 3:30 AM
Sat: OFF (usually, once every 5-6 weeks, I work 5:00 PM-4:00 AM)

It's hard to go back and forth between nights and days.

Wow, that's a terrible schedule. I don't know if I could handle that.

Sooo, how come we haven't seen a Sharpe joke in this thread yet?

We always fall asleep as soon as we try. Apparently he's wearing off on us.

Can't shut my mind off. smdh

I'm in a bad rut, too. Wake up every hour or so, lots of dreams, mostly about former jobs.

I've been sleeping really well.

U jelly?

^
This kid has moxie.

Eat some hash brownies.

^ Right before bed.

Got some?

Always miserable. If I was religious I'd pray for myself, you guys.

Hvae you tried melatonin yet? Can't remember if I've brought this up yet. Works wonders for me. No hangover. Good stuff.

Got some?

Yes

My turn. Fucking melatonin ain't doing shit.

I'll be taking one of those bad boys shortly.

Any left?

Plenty, brotha.

Keep waking up an hour before I want to after a sound 7.5 hours. What the fuck??

9 somethin' to 3 somethin'. Not bad. Kinda dad guy?

Early bird gets the worm Beauld! Nice work!

As long as people are moving and counting on me to help, I think I can get a good night's sleep consistently...

Been killing it lately. Being sick rules!

That was a brutal 3 hours.

^ I took a 'tonin, FWIW.

Been sleepin' about a full 9 all week except last night. Stupid drinking cuts my sleep time.

Shit, you guys. So much stress, so much anxiety.

Gotta see the 'pist and get right, you guys.

Anyone else toss and turn because all they can think about is killing all of the mean people in the world? Jerks.

Pretty tired, you guys. Going to try this again.

Nevermind, felt a sudden burst of energy and now I'm feeling too good to sleep.

My mind is very scary, you guys. Even scarier than the mean streets of Bloomfield.

Shit, you guys. So much stress, so much anxiety.

Gotta see the 'pist and get right, you guys.

Deal with it?

I have to get up before 6 on weekdays for work and the worst thing is that every couple of months I will totally jinx myself and don't fall asleep until like 4:30. It is tough as hell. I will be completely exhausted and when I go lay down, I won't be able to fall asleep. Then I will watch the clock and during each passing minute I will put more and more pressure on myself to sleep which makes things worse. The clock flies when you are laying in bed and need to sleep but can't. Shit goes 1 hour for every 5 minutes.

Deal with it?

:insensitive:

Spent like 5 or 6 hours just lying there before I was actually able to get some actual sleep, and even that was difficult. Horrible.

Might have to start takin' these Xannys.

I could sleep right now but its not even 7 yet. If I go down now, forget tomorrow. I'll wake up at midnight, be up till 6am and then be a fuckin zombie for the rest of the day.

#bipolarlife

I put the hype in hypomania. Ha!

Trying but I had some M&M's and a huge glass of milk and my heart if fuckin pounding like crazy. Not good on top of a bunch of Vodka/Crans.

Just got 9+ hours for the first time in forever.

I wish I had gotten enough fucking sleep last night. And the previous night. And every previous night for the past month.

I still can't sleep for shit. Quit drinking. At least now I'm just tired. Better than being tired and hungover.
I got a job with a blog and work from home and can work any fuckin time I want so if I wake up, I just work.
