Sleep

Do you have a hard time sleeping?

I was wondering why you were up so late and then I was like wait, me too. I don't have a hard time sleeping but I usually like to be nocturnal i.e. wake up at like 2 or 3pm, eat, and then stay up till like 4am. I'm like a bat, but without the wings.

I can't sleep sometimes because I get terrified at night time. Right now is one of those times! I probably won't get to bed until 5 pm, because that time feels less scary to me.

I'm super jealous of nocturnal people! I'm in awe of your power.

I just find it easier to not go to bed. :/ Getting up has always been difficult for me though.

And I've just been thinking so much lately. I HATE WINTER BREAK TOO MUCH TIME TO THINK. :mad2: :(

So yeah, thinking keeps me up. :)

EDIT: Watch Iron Chef with me. Let Alton Brown serenade you.

it's not often i have a hard time sleeping. Most of the time I'm just not tired until ridiculous times of night. For example, I'm feeling a little tired now, and it's 3:30 am :(

EDIT: And like Justin I just have lots to think about right now. :-/

I'm watching Rosanne. XD

No matter what time I wake up at, I usually can't fall asleep until at least 3am. And then there are the bouts of insomnia :bigsmile:

There are a lot of productive and innovative things that are best done at night, so dun waste the night away~~~~~ :bigsmile:

I cleaned my room and wracked my brain on Event Committee and even read a little! I dunno what else to do! :(

I'm carefully cleaning a ring my granny gave me. OCD ftw.

I think I feel safe now, I might be able to go to sleep!

Keep watching Roseanne, this is a good episode.

Hahah, I'll watch it as I go to bed.

Thanks for the help, guys. I'll hopefully be able to catch 4 hours of sleep or so now that it's morning.

Nah I have pretty bad insomnia. I have a prescription for Ambien and it'll knock me out but I feel like :bou::bou::bou::bou: in the morning if I don't have like 8 hours of sleep so I don't usually take it if I have class in the morning. Yeah it's currently 5 am.

I go through bouts of sleep difficulty. Mostly when I have to conform to "normal" sleep times. My body seems to naturally prefer to sleep from 5:00am to noon.

I'm a pretty picky sleep though. I do the following things:
* I always have a fan on, usually barely facing my direction. The white noise and soft breeze is very soothing.
* I put something familiar on the TV. Familiar enough that I can close my eyes and watch it in my head so that it doesn't keep my eyes on the screen, and it keeps my mind from wandering.
* I read. It's exhausting!
* I think sexy thoughts. It releases calming hormones and the concentration keeps my mind from wandering too much.

My father-in-law imagines himself melting, from his outer appendages in to his torso. I've tried it a couple of times and it's a good method, but if I don't have any outside distractions I think thinking sexy thoughts is more fun.
