At first I couldn't sleep much at night, but now that I'm working early and late shifts again, I'm in bed or I'm dead before the end of the week. ;D

UPDATE on Killerzzz current wake spree! Comming up on 45 hours now! It was funny. Well, no it wasn't, but yes, yes it was. See, after making that post, I began my hour drive to work. I was good for about 20 mins. Then, it kicked in! The zzzzz's! No, not Killer zzzzz! I mean the sleepiezzzzz! So, I was suddenly nodding off a little at the wheel. Not a good thing. For a while there, I thought I'd have to pull over. BUT THEN! I had a KILLERZZZ-INSPIRATION! (uh-oh ) Very loudly, I began to sing every Christmas song I know! For 40 minutes! Needless to say, my voice was tired by the time I had arrived. BUT, da singingz kept me awake and alert throughout the entire drive! Here's to Christmas spirit!, eh? Man, I should start a thread called: "My Shinanigans - Don't Try At Home". Killerzzz

Be careful on the road Killerzz!
Amazing how our minds begin to play with us when we're tired. About two years ago, I had to work on sunday morning in that grocery store, and I had to get up at 5 am to take my son to a daycare and drive the entire way back (which was 6 km back and then 10 km further to my work) in the freezing cold. On my scooter. Coldness and tiredness made me fall asleep on my scooter, while thinking that my scooter was able to find it's own way back I quitted that job soon after that though

The worst part of not sleeping enough is when your balance goes. Nothing quite like trying to turn to your left and finding out you just lurched right...

Awww, maybe am I the one who stole all the sleep from you; I'm almost in hibernation mode.

I just had crap sleep last night. I was tired when we got home. Gwen spent an hour meowing at the window. She knows where the pet door is. I can't let her in through the window anyway. I was woken an hour later by one of the cats making noises, and an occasional squeek. Litha had brought a young bird into the house to play with. (It was an introduced species thankfully.) After removing the mostly-immobile bird from the house, I was woken an hour later by more animal noises. I went to investigate, but it turned out to be Alicia, our dog, sleep-talking. I spent half the night cold. I found out early in the morning that Litha was on the bed anchoring the doona. He's not allowed on the bed. Michelle said she had kicked him off the bed twice already that night. The cats are in the dog house right now...

Let's see. I don't think I've got more then 5 hours of sleep any night this week, and last night got 2! Nothing better then going to sleep at 5, waking up at 7, and having a full day of school ahead of you and more tests to study for when you get home.

I am still awake but I'm sure I'll hit the sack soon. Hopefully I won't have insomnia tonight.

So, 6:00am, and still awake. That last spree ended at about 46 hours, btw. Know whats the worst part? I have no reason to not be asleep! No good reason anyhow. I mean, its not that I can't fall asleep. I bet the moment I lay my head down, I'm gonna be off. Take 10-20 mins, tops. And its not that I can't stay asleep. Heck, good luck waking me. And its not that I have to be awake. I'm just screwing around. Its not even that I hate sleep! I do, its a waste of time, but thats not even it right now! Or maybe it is.... Anyhow, I just seem to have this insane aversion to going to sleep! I just have no drive to, even when tired. I just can't help but have NO DESIRE to go to sleep. Its not nightmares, or any resisting factor. I just... procrastinate. Yeah. Find a million things to distract me from remembering to go to sleep. Its so stupid, because I NEED MAH SLEEP! For functionning! At least, thats what they tell me. Well, I'm off in a few. We'll see if I can get off my lazy butt and go to sleep (an oxymoron if I ever heard one ). Killerzzz

6:48. Waking up at 8:15 to go eat breakfast and go to Church (icky) with my mom and family friends.
Too bad I just had the most fun conversation with the most awesome person ever so it's all good. Sleep's overrated when you're having fun.

Brain won't stop working is what it always is, for me. I close my eyes, the feeling of tiredness overwhelms me... but then a thought gets into my brain and I have to follow it and it won't stop... and sleep gives up and passes me by...
Oddly enough, I'm sleeping quite well at the moment (Bizarre, for me) but that's how it usually is.

I wonder if the only reason I never suffer from insomnia is that I've never been able to fall asleep "naturally" so I've had to develop the skill of slowly easing my brain into sleep. So when I lie down I will eventually fall asleep since I know how to turn it off. Even though it's slow.
Or maybe I just haven't experienced it yet... ;D

Believe it or not, Ube, not everyone gets it. It's a thing you do not want if you can avoid it, either.

Believe it or not, Ube, not everyone gets it. It's a thing you do not want if you can avoid it, either. If I can somehow avoid it, then I'll do my best. The thing is just that I've allways had problems with sleep, so I feel like I'd be the kind of person who would get insomnia from time to time (my brother does AFAIK). Not complaining, though... ;D Übereil

Well it's almost 4am here and I'm still awake as usual. I don't know if it really qualifies for insomnia, because I can always get to sleep eventually, just not at night!
It's like my circadian rhythm is just set to "nocturnal" - if some reason I have to get up early in the day (most days) I feel groggy, tired and in need of a nap all day, then once it gets late, I magically liven up, like coming out of a haze, more or less wide awake. If I do give in a take a nap in the afternoon its worse, because then there's no chance of sleeping at night without using diphenhydramine (basic over the counter allergy/sleeping pill).
I am a creature of the night!
