Welcome restless ones.
Here it is you sleepless souls...somewhere within the inner sanctum where you can rest your weary head. Non-insomniacs not allowed!
I have to be up in 5 hou..ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yep. Still awake.

I'm finding it really hard to sleep right now. it is the middle of the day here so me being on here isn't strange.

To quote Bono, "I'm wide awake. I'm not sleeping."

I've finished my book. I think I'll try to fall asleep to a movie.

I couldn't sleep for hours last night. I read two books. Now I got big bags under my eyes today :rolleyes:

Which books were you guys reading?

Which books were you guys reading?

I've finished Breaking Dawn and The Lace Reader this past week. Not sure what I'm going to read next. I may check something out at work tomorrow.

I just did the dishes. Doesn't everyone do dishes at 3:00 am? :rolleyes:

Do you choose to stay awake at night, or do you have a problem falling asleep?

I'm very bad in falling asleep, and I'm a bad sleeper as well. It has been like this for as long as I can remember. My mother says I was like this as a baby as well. I found out that I can sleep better and fall asleep much easier if I go to bed when I'm physically exhausted. It's a joke of nature since I hate sports, but it helps a lot! Maybe it will work for you as well.

I have trouble falling asleep. I've always been a night person but the real insomnia started about six or seven months ago. It's pretty ridiculous at this point. Even if I get sleepy in the early evening, I can't sleep because I have to work. By the time 1:00 am rolls around, I'm wide awake again.

My mom told me that she and my dad used to have to drive me around to make me go to sleep at night.

At the moment, I'm cleaning the house as quietly as I can in the hopes that it'll tire me out. After that, I'm going to curl up and read. I'm trying to be more productive in my sleeplessness. :rolleyes:

Day off tomorrow... it's 4:45 and I haven't gone to bed. So I am watching the olympics and updating my website... and eating lots of chocolaty stuff and feeling like a slob while people win gold medals on TV.

Perpetuating the stereotype of an American, then? Well done. ;)

Its 3am and I am still awake.
Im trying to finish a paper I have to turn in tomorrow! :eek:
But can't concentrate, or motivate...

I fail on many levels!:cool:

*sigh*

Yeah. I've been an insomniac my whole life. I used to give my parents hell when I couldn't sleep, now I just listen to music and read and draw and waste time on the internet.

Frustrating, isn't it? Well, in my case, it used to be in my teenage years, but now quite frankly I choose it!

Same!

High five for messed up sleep patterns!

Tired and working, as usual. :rolleyes:

I'm trying to sneakily watch Monk on the lobby television. Sometimes I feel like House in Coma Guy's room, except he's pretty obvious and non-apologetic about it. :p

Monk has a crush. :o

It's just getting started. You should turn it on. Monk's crushing. It's cute. He didn't ask for a wipe after he shook her hand.

I liked Wings, too. Tony Shalhoub is the shit.

i kinda liked wings,i must admit,i kinda liked the fat guy jerk,and the really old man they had on from time to time,i think his name was Mr blanchard :confused:

and how he would drive everyone insane especially tony shalhoub's character crazy by asking these insane questions like " if all of florida was carpeted how long would that take to vacuum? and how heavy was the airport building if you picked it up?"

Hello?
Hi its me whats up baby? im sorry listen im gonna be late tonight so dont stay up and wait for me ok?
Where are you?
what?? say... say that again
Hello?
You're really dropping out, I think my battery must be low.
Listen if you can hear me we're going to this place nearby, all right? Gotta go.

Let me tell you the story
'Bout the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out
Just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when
There she was standing in-front of me
And said "Hi, I got a little place nearby
Wanna go?"

I should've said no
Someone's waiting for me
Then I called my girl up and said

(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

Now (?) is done, nothing's been won
I can't take it back, what's done is done
But one of her friends found out
That she wasn't my only one
And it eats me from inside
That she's not by my side
Just because I made that call, yeah

(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

Ooohh...

Lemme tell you the story
Bout the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out
Just to end up in misery
Was about to go home when
There she was standing infront of me
And said "Hi, I got a little place nearby"
Gotta go...

(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

(Chorus)
Listen baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell you don't worry
I will be late
Don't stay up and wait for me
I said again, your dropping out
My battery is low
Just so you know
We're going to a place nearby
We're going to a place nearby
Gotta go

And just where were you when I wasn't sleeping? :p

You weren't. . . sleeping, were you?!? :eek:

I should be in bed but it's got to the stage when I can't be bothered because I'm that tired.
Wikipedia is distracting me too because I've had a sudden thirst for knowledge.

Well, that sucks. Why?

I didn't get to sleep until 7 this morning, it wasn't an insomnia thing, though, it was a party. Hopefully I should have some chance of sleeping tonight..

Well, I tried to sleep with no success, which really sucks because I have to be at work in three hours.

not so much about insomnia today but just neighbours being inconsiderate, my upstairs neighbour met me this morning in my work overall hense she knew I was working, but still blared her music at 1pm, waking me. cheers. *livid*

Ricky Gervais has always reminded me of David Bowie. I think it's the teeth.

Yep. Can't sleep.

This is ridiculously funny.

Bullshit.

Good-golly-miss-molly, isn't it just! The hours and hours of clock watching...the mind whirring...it's a veritable pleasure-dome. I can't stop watching those Extras clips ^^^^^ They get me every time.

It's so lonely being a freak who cannae sleep. *waves into the darkness*

At least tomorrow is Sunday, and we can do nothing all day if we choose (me at least). Then I start back at college, and staying up til 2am really isn't going to help me when I need to get up at 7 :(

has anyone tried sleeping tablets?

I'm leaving for work in 6 hours. I've done it on less though.
Yes, I've had sleeping tablets in the past. They were little, circular, and blue (can't recall the name) and they worked,literally, as a dream.

I think I'm gonna follow the advice of the smart-arse tags on this thread, "Log off and go to bed" :D my eyelids are starting to get a bit heavy (finally!).

Goodnight x

That was terrible!

We've got an English Springer that just got out of surgery and a Yorkie with a breech puppy that's stuck. A Chihuahua with labor problems and an English Bulldog with parvo are on the way. :(

And you can tell that I have never really loved
You can tell by the way I sleep all day...:)

God. Appalling.
I'm gonna join a gym.

Yep. Still at work.

God. Appalling.
I'm gonna join a gym.

:guitar: Yaaaaaaaaay. I would do the same if we had any mildly attractive gyms nearby. I'm too lazy to travel anywhere for a gym, so if it's not walking distance, I won't go.:o

Edit: I'm not insomniac, so I'd better get out of here...

After putting in an 18.75 hour day, I am taking my tired ass home.

It would just be enough to even feel a bit tired. I've worked today, had a late night last night, been to the gym, I haven't had any caffiene or sugary foods...I am wide awake. Come on Man Upstairs, give me a break already.

I've been quite productive myself today, I get tired about 9ish, but then tell myself I'm not 5 and can't go to bed yet, then I get my second wind around midnight, go away wind of awakeness! (<I doubt that's a word :()

Yes, I'll go to bed soon. It's funny when you get some alcohol in your system you come to think of all these things you wouldn't care when you are sober.

I can tell by your typing that you're a bit squiffy. Don't go overboard now. I think weed has the opposite effect in the long run?
