It is rather difficult for me to sleep sometimes. I was trying to get to bed at a decent hour tonight, but alas I have failed miserable as it is almost four in the morning. I did take a long nap earlier today, but that's because I got unexpectedly called into work yesterday morning after only getting about three hours of sleep.
During my nap in the day I had some serious rebound REM, where you haven't have vivid dreams in awhile so suddenly you'll have a serious of incredibly vivid dreams in which you can exert a lot of control over. The dreams themselves were quite magnificent and mood altering. But now I'm just kind of moody as I cannot sleep tonight and I am piecing on banana chips.
I'm also getting unusual headaches unlike anything I've had before. They are not like my usual headaches based on caffeine withdrawals. They are in places in my head I never get headaches and they persist all day.
I thought at first this should just go in the spam section. But I reckon we can talk about our sleeping tendencies here and whether or not we get chronic insomnia. There may have been a thread somewhere about this already, but searching for it gets in the way of eating more banana chips. Banana chips kick ass.
Meanwhile I keep listening to this song repeatedly.
little one one more little one
i'll go down stay down
sleep the rest of the day
dream new music to calm down
stay down and keep evil away

i need some company one hit wouldn't hurt a bit at all
slow down sleep

if it's good shit you won't know
and i won't know the fact that i'm dying
if i seem to be reckless with myself
it's the fault of no one
all things have a place
under the moon as well as the sun
one more
little one i love you
HA, sleep is something I have struggled with for ages. There is so much I have to say about sleep lol, but I'll just say one thing at a time.
I need like 12 hours sleep to not feel tired, but at the same time I seem to be able to last longer than others at resisting sleep. So really, the day should be more than 24 hours, because 24 is way too short. I end up going to bed really late, and then being forced to wake up early, it really sucks. I'm pretty much tired all the time. Now see, if the day was more like 30 hours, I could get 12 hours sleep and have 18 hours to be awake.
And I know what kind of headache you mean. I get them all the time lol. I have also found that lack of sleep has a similar effect to being tipsy.
i work from 3pm till 9:30pm, i usally stay up all night till about 6-7am, my daughter wakes up around 10am and doesnt want to go back to sleep.
Thats roughly my week, my wife goes to school during the day, sometimes i call in my mom to come babysit on my day off so i can sleep for a few extra hours.
I usally just stay up till i feel like going to sleep, its just hell waking up. I tried sleeping pills and they didnt help me go to sleep or stay asleep. I wish i could sleep more but im just use to staying up all night and playing games or trolling fourms till sun up.
Im def stronger, more alert, and more awake at night time (usually 11 pm-2 am)
Must be from all those years of gaming all night long. I have stopped those all night gaming sessions due to my m-f 8-5 job. usually 1 night a week on the weekends my girl goes to bed and i play games till 2-3 am. The next morning i wake up with here around 7ish feeling great. But during the week when im in bed by 11 and wake up around 7ish i feel sluggish tired and slow. Ive come to realize the less sleep i get the better i am(to a point) Anything over 8 hours and im very tired. Anything 4-6 hours and im Good to go. Ive chalked this up to the theory of the sleep cycle which goes somthing like that u sleep in cycles of 3 hours. the 3rd hour being ur deepest sleep. Depending on what cycle u wake at will affect how u feel upon waking
You're becoming a bit of a spammer. I'm disappointed in you.
Games are one of the biggest sleep deprivation causes I have. I have to wake up at around 5AM every morning. So I usually plan on heading to bed between 8PM-9PM to get an 8 hour rest. Yet.. There's a problem.... I play Halo too much, or I'm on MSN too long. I feel slightly pathetic that I'm not disciplined enough to just go to bed when I should. I'm beginning to show up a bit late too work. It's something that I need to manage better.
I did read once about a sleep schedule where every hour you go to sleep for 15 minutes or so. Ha, it doesn't seem like a very easy thing to accomplish. I remember an old friend wanted to try it with me for fun. Didn't work out too well. We just woke up a few hours later.
I hate talkin' about this stuff... it keeps me up at night.
I've had serious bouts of insomnia in the past. Stress; anxiety (usually about work or bills) -- really messed up my sleep patterns. I found that once I cleaned-up my diet a few years ago, in conjunction with getting consistent with my training again, the difficulty went away, for the most part.
Every now and then, though, I still have problems. Melatonin works well for me as a sleep aid, as does valerian. I can't do those over-the-counter sleep aids like Tylenol-PM, and others of that ilk; diphenhydramine makes me jittery (like restless-leg jittery), and the after-effects leave me feeling hungover. Melatonin and velarian do not.
One word of advice -- stay away from alcohol if you have sleep issues. Contrary to what some dumbasses think, it only makes the problem worse.
This is one thing that I'm thankful I've never had a problem with, I've always had an easy time going to sleep and staying asleep. I have this weird schedule though whenever I don't have to wake up for school in the summer, no matter what I always wake up by 9, 10 at the latest. That's pretty late, but some of my friends say that they sleep until 12 or 1, I just can't do that.
Oh man, i know exactly what you're talking about. Talk about irregular hours, my biological clock is NOT in sync with how fast the world turns. Luckily for me i don't have to worry to much with 9 to 5 stuff as i don't have a regular "job". (god forbid)
I also heavely prey on the night, at night i feel five times stronger/faster/better. Problem is that i'm longer awake (and unable to sleep) then whats normally accepted (think about 20 hours or so) and i sleep longer then whats normally accepted (about 10 hours or so), that means that every day 6 hours "feel wrong" to me, i try to keep it regular but that mostly involves trying to "tire" myself with staying awake even longer and then "go to sleep at a early hour" so that when i wake up its more or less "a regular hour", doesn't work really but whatever.
Yeah, I can't really make myself get to bed at an earlier hour. Sometimes melatonin helps. But I know how you feel, I always feel more creative and focused late at night. That's either when I can get a lot of homework done or I'm feeling artistic and am in the mood to write.

Headaches is also something i have to deal with, mostly a "normal" headache for me is situated on the left temple of my head, but a headache of sleeping wrongly feels like my complete head is "unable to breath" with pounding pains as a result.
I also live on cafeine but only a certain type of coffee, two pieces of sugar and normal milk.
You probably experience caffeine withdrawals a lot. I'm pretty addicted myself and sometimes I can take Motrin or Tylenol, but not of it ever works unless I get my caffeine as well. It does something for me physically, but I think it's become a coping mechanism to the point where just drinking it makes me feel so good mentally that it's helping to ease the headache. And most my life I've never had headaches. But these days I get them on and off pretty frequently. Sleep deprivation as well as a caffeine addiction is just a right mess to the head.
I have about two shots of espresso a day. So it's in one form or another. I don't add sugar to it, but I'll get a pastry with it sometimes. The headaches I've been getting lately though have been chronic and aren't like my normal withdrawal headaches. I think they're tension headaches.
But yeah, too much coffee would also mess up my tummy.
I seem to lack will to prevent myself from staying up and chatting until 4 AM with the next fun guy... and I wake up at 6. This has led me to take plenty of midday naps.
No it doesn't. But I suspect there's little use lecturing you on how much coffee you drink. I'm pretty susceptible to most drugs. If I had more than two shots of espresso in a day, I'd either get extremely irritable, nauseous, or diarrhea-like.
I drink coffee mostly for the taste, and I try to eliminate the coffee itself and replace it with milk, lol. I have a coffee in the morning, most of the time, on workdays. On weekends I can end up never drinking it, but on workdays it's kinda like a habit.
Well another night has come. I gotta be to work at eight in the morning. It's almost midnight now. I'm hoping I can fall asleep in an hour. I took a melatonin so hopefully that helps.
And Doppel, it does seem like you probably drink coffee for different reasons than I do. I just really love the taste of a well done traditional macchiato or a really dry cappuccino.
I can't believe how awake I become at night. Its like, I do some artistic things and listen to music during the day, and its fine, but then when I do that exact same thing except at night I suddenly get all this energy and really waken up.
I could live with being awake at night, but because the rest of the world doesn't stay up with me it just doesn't work.
Oh, but I hate sleeping during the day. I don't mind taking like 3 hour naps, but I wish I didn't have to sleep. Its such a time waster!
I usually go to bed at 2 every night.
I don't drink coffee or take any form of drug, either.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
