So...last night/this morning/whatever I sat down and watched every single Star Wars movie....what shall i watch tonight?

[Chuck]

All 57 Passenger movies.

[Neo]

Guess who has to be at work in 2 and a half hours?

[sk*]

last night i couldn't sleep. then i read the fifth elephant and hogfather. i wish i was tired. blah!

i think i'll make some cupcakes next. then i'll apply for a job or somthing. why can't i fall asleep???

[Agamemnon]

Because you're reading the wrong books

[Logain]

Even though I try to get up for work at 5:15 each morning, I can't seem to turn off the TV and go to sleep once that silly Aqua Teen Hunger Force comes on at midnight. Last night was another under 4.5 hour sleep night as usual for me now it seems *yawn*

[Internet Stranger]

You know... you could always tape the show or pirate it.

IS, so far I only found episode 1 as a DVDRip on the ed2k network, which I got already The rest I found are TV caps which I usually don't get unless I really want to see the show and DVDs are not out yet.

[Mackay]

OMG, I thought I'd hallucinated that show out of sleep deprivation or something! I saw it a total of once while I was in my hometown, and it was at about 3am. I hadn't laughed that hard at a TV show in a very very long time. I stayed up repeatedly to watch it again, but I could never find it! Tape it for me! Tape it for me and post it to Australia!

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Dwaaaaaaa...

Nothing on TV, can't fall asleep, boring in GL chat, yeah

Apparently I am more productive when I'm half-asleep and don't know whats going on. I made a very crappy new background that nobody would ever want. It uses a badly scanned image and a very crappy dark grey-->black gradient with my l33t, non-existant Photoshop skillz. If you want to see it, here. (note: 1280x1024, but looks best on 1152x864, because the icons snap snuggly.)

Could someone fix that image tag? I don't know how they work anymore, due to the new board and the fact that I am way too tired right now.

2-in-a-row. Lets hope that I don't make this a month-long thing, as I'm leaving for college in less than a week.

Heh heh. I haven't not been able to sleep in a long time, but I guess this is the night. Thelma and Louise is on...

[Mck]

I woke up at 2am yesterday and now it's getting kinda toward 4am today, so I guess that counts.

I'd never seen Thelma and Louise till one night when I was suffering a similar problem to you, Bicho. Unfortunately for me ( I HATE chick movies) I was mesmerised, kinda like the people who stare at the scene of an accident... horrified and nauseated but unable to look away. And then once it was over I couldn't get to sleep! hope you got a good night's worth.

[MatthewV]

5 am last night
6:20 am this night

n00bi

[MatthewV]

another late stay up last night 6 or 7 am. And then I was called to go fencing at 10 am. (this is Saturday) Fenced two hours, did some work. Decided I was sleepy at around 6pm. Woke up 3am (technically Sunday.) I am at lost as to what day it is in my head. Tomarrow i have to get up for school...will set all three alarm clocks.

[MatthewV]

Is there any effective way to stablize a sleep schedual?

I think I'm running on an 18 hour day or something. It's bloody annoying. School starts in less than 4 hours. I slept from 6pm to 12pm. I can't sleep right now. Shit...

[MatthewV]

Same thing as last night if you move all the times (including the school one!) later about 2 hours.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Is this my first post in the therad? Anyway, woke up 3AM this morning and could not sleep anymore. I had my interview for the job in Amsterdam yesterday, and I'm still nervous. Bah.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

DDR with Fred until Midnight, Laundry and Anime with Cameron until 4:30 or so. 4:55 now. Too much on my mind to fall asleep.

Nothing kills insomnia like carrying bundles of shingles up a ladder onto a roof on a hot day. Each bundle is 50-60 lb. and very awkward to carry. Throw in a little bit of running around on that roof nailing those shingles, and you're in for a good night's sleep.

Too bad, no more of that for me, at least for now.

[Mackay]

*mumbles something incoherent* jdnionjekabfhgggghhhhh

Actually, I'm doing well tonight. It's only 5am in any case, and I got some sleep before and woke up again. So I'm sleepy, but not ridiculously so. IN fact, it's that kind of tired that makes you all energetic and bouncy. My sister won't be back from work for another hour so i can browse the GL at my leisure and stuff. For an hour. I keep singing and I don't know why. better than yesterday I suppose. I started crying and couldn't stop. Well, I could, because I did, eventually. But it was difficult!

Things have been tough. They're getting better! boo, and yay, respectively.

[Bicho the Inhaler]

Why insomnia...why now? It's not like I overslept last night, either. Well, I did, but not in the sense of getting too much sleep. 3:30 AM, by the way.

(hope things are still getting better, Mackay)

[Mackay]

I couldn't be bothered finding the drunken insomniac posts, in any case I'm not really DRUNK drunk, but the sleep deprivation is making me woozier than I would usually me. it's only 11pm, but I've been getting up at ridiculously early hours - they keep getting earlier - just so I could have internet access. my sister is switching shifts after her two days off (tonight and tomorrow) so I'll be back on being up from ten pm till sixam, weee! lots more insomniac posts!

it's okay, i start bartender work tomorrow and i r the on night shift, so being up late is acceptable. yay for work!

thankyou bicho, yes things are still looking up, more than before. It's strange though how being forgiven can make you feel so guilty. or not forgiven, in the case that the person doesn't believe you did anything wrong. gahhhh that's even worse. Only a small part of what's been going on recently, but the thing that's bugging me the most at the moment. it's kinda funny in a way, i finally vented to a friend about what was going on and they spewed forth all of these praises regarding the person who has forgiven me (for lack of a better word to use). it feels nice when you know you're not alone in loving the ones you love. i am rambling.

you and I should play a duet sometime, d00d

[Mercuria]

oh, oh, oh, me, me, me!

okay, it's only like, an hour past my "normal" bedtime (and i haven't even passed the 24-hour mark since i last went to sleep), but i'm getting ready for breakfast, so that counts for something, right?

um... yeah, breakfast 'cause i've got two midterms. just finished making the cheat sheet (yes, allowed) for the second. don't be fooled; i started about an hour ago.

why am i so calm about these things?

i swear, the apathy is taking over...

[Merc's Boyfriend]

To add to that, she left for her exam with just enough time to make it there because she wanted to finish watching this one-star movie called "Virus"

Still awake since Friday at 6AM. I completed a 1500 piece puzzle, read a 400 page book, Christmas shopped, wrote in my journal... No idea why I'm still awake, but I have to crash and burn soon.

[Bicho the Inhaler]

Yikes, that's rough. (Hope you've slept a little since your last post, BT?)

I haven't been sleeping all that well lately, not least because the temperature in my room is nigh-impossible to control. I usually open my window before going to bed (the ~40-degree (F) air from outside helps offset the ~40-degree (C) air from the heater that always seems to be on), and then I wake up at 8 AM and close the window.

[Beartalon]

I crashed finally on that Tuesday, and slept for 12 hours, went to work, came home and slept another 10. My sleep pattern hasn't existed since then.

[MatthewV]

I killed my sleep pattern. Right now it is 2 am, but I can't consider sleeping. I must go to daycareschool in 6 hours.

[MatthewV]

I ended up staying awaken til school would start in 30 minutes. I had an excellent day. And then I cured my insomnia by sleeping from 7pm to 9 am.
And this will strike again....??next week??

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

3 hours sleep in the past 5 days.

Why is it so hard to write a personal statement? I've been up all night, and I have embarrassingly little to show for it. At least after today, this particular brand of stress will have ended, just in time for: surprise! other disagreeable activities!

[Beartalon]

You just made a personal statement - the sentence that began with "I"

[Bicho the Inhaler]

I haven't been able to fall asleep at night for over a week. I don't think I've been able to sleep before 5 AM since at least 2 Fridays ago. Is returning jet lag particularly bad for anyone else? For some reason, coming back from a distant time zone is always harder on my circadian rhythm than going there.

[Mackay]

Poor Bicho...

My effort now fees rather wimpy, but if I manage to go to work and get through my shift(s), I will have been awake for 30something hours.

[The Ragin' South Asian]

bleah

[Mackay]

It is 6:22am and I feel randomly boisterous. This is fine! So long as it wears off before, say, 10am so I can get a nice chunk of sleep before work.
