Insomnia? Do you have it?
 

I think I might be an insomniac. When I tell my family they tell me I should go see a doctor about it.. but I kinda like it, it makes me more productive.

No rest for the wicked. :arcadefre

off and on

like right now i should be :sleep but instead im :eek7

I think good stats have a big part in it

I love automation. Particularly because I also love sleep. But it's this board that keeps me awake 20 hours out of the day.

You should sleep when it's dark outside and work when it's bright (like all normal people do)
Otherwise your phisical and mental health will get seriously fucked up.

i take it you work at night...


:p

I know.

I think insomnia is inability to sleep. If I went and tried to sleep right now...I could in a heart beat. Instead I'm up for no real good reason (just working). I think it's a lack of self-discipline, not insomnia.

We all know, but we like it.

normally i do sleep at night cause i gotta wake up bright and early and go to AEBN in the mornings...but i got the flu and cant even leave my bed, let alone fall asleep :/

Yeh - even if I lay down I can't sleep. I just lay awake staring at the ceiling.

you can't leave your bed??? Sounds like a big mess there

flu = weakness


only thing i can do is type on this laptop :arcadefre and well...bleh

it's actually given me a chance to update some older pages of mine with high PRs, just in time for the dance :thumbsup

Being a Health professional and working 12 hour nite shift since 2 years now. Even when I am off my interal clock is set like that. I find myself more productive as well nite time.
But lak of sleep long term make you vegetable in front a computer... Now thats called insomia at that point.
But i can assure that the best sleeping pill is sex... :winkwink:

tylonol pm cured my insomnia :)

hope something will help me out coz I just can't fall asleep at night and wake up at 6 every morning without any need or visible reason and feel really fucked up all day long :(

Usely or very often not being able to fall asleep is that your mind is contiuously working babeee.. Stresss preocupation, thinking strategies, buisness, family etc....When we go to bed we need to be able to clear our mind !!! It's so important...Think at least positives things at least you will fall asleep faster and will be productive in your sleep...meaning you will be rested and be fonctional day time... or Hot bath, music, sex,read before going to bed change the thoughts it helps... Sleeping pills are temporary helpfull but become very addictive...

Hm.. good luck hope this helps.:winkwink:

Don't get me started! Feels like I haven't slept in weeks! :( I am so tired and I can't seem to fall asleep! Then again you try finding a comfortable position with a 6 pound baby in your belly!

Yeah I can't sleep most nights.. It sucks!

I had the DVD rental,thinking bout buying it though.


I think in insomnia is more about stress then anything unless you work a fucked up schedule

smoke trainwreck and you'll sleep like an angel. :thumbsup

sex is the only way for me to sleep...

Or not if you go all night. :thumbsup

Yeah I keep telling my wife the same thing.....she's not very sensitive to my needs

the funny thing is I never was a morning person. My girl use to have to wake me up to go to work and I swear every morning between 6-9 I wanted to kill her...every single morning..:321GFY

too many people associate being night owls with insomnia.

i have insomnia, meaning I CANNOT GO TO SLEEP.

i have bee plagued by this since i was a kid, not being able to sleep during the school week nights and sometimes it deeply affected things, but i never made bad grades, was up all ngiht reading. ;)

just because you like to see the sun come up doesnt mean you have insomnia.

i've watched the sun rise for years

:glugglug

sleep is for pussies!

Now you're talking! :thumbsup

Al Pacino has it :1orglaugh

Ambien.

With insomnia, you're never really asleep;
you're never really awake

Yeah I would get checked out to make sure you actually have it. Its totally different then the shit you can cause by bad habits.

Becoming a webmaster like 5 years ago was so cool at the beginning, but it seems you can get addicted to staring at the computer, staying up on your own terms, rather than a typical day when the sun comes up.

And if you keep treating your body like shit, staying up until you pass out, sleep, do the same thing over and over, deprive yourself of sleep, don't take breaks, don't eat right or exercise, it can really fuck you up.

I gained a bunch of weight without paying attention, sat on my ass and crammed shit down my throat and bad shit started to happen. I gained enough weight to where it made it hard to physically get comfortable to sleep, and the computer screen annoyed the hell out of me.

So just to live well again I went cold turkey and did everything around a health lifestyle. Meals are planned in advanced, healthy homecooked shit 90% of the time, once in a while treats. Cut the soda and shit liquids and drank water. Get an hour of intense exercise in each day. Go to sleep by midnight, lights out, computer off period.

I lost the weight and now have a healthy lifestyle first. Eating well gives me the energy I need. No headaches, I take frequent breaks from the computer, get outside for fresh air each day. The exercise clears your mind and your body loves it. At night it helps me go to sleep within 5 minutes of turning out the lights, I can just wakeup in the am without an alarm.


This way you actually save time because your body rewards you across the board for treating it well. You can end up getting a bit less quality sleep and you don't have to take naps and shit.
