That's basically what I've been doing. Unfortunately, I don't get tired very easy... I average about two hours...

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can discover what is bothering you and return to Dreamland (say hi to Nemo for me;) )

In the past week, I've had a 45 hour day with no sleep, and a couple more than 24 hour days.

My dream job was the night shift at a cemetary. You only deal with dead people and drunk teenagers. Of course there are quite a few open graves so obnoxious drunk teenagers wouldn't be too much of a problem...:shifty:

Then try that. It works well.

I don't have Diablo 2:(

To me, it really helps to have someone to snuggle up with. I love it.

Been doing that as well. Not really helping me unfortunately. I also don't have anyone to snuggle with me... anyone want to snuggle with me so I can get some sleep? I promise I won't steal the sheets:)

Well the wether has gotten better where I live, so I may be able to finally do this option...

but as my own advice goes: read a dictionary, and if that doesn't work...well...i guess some pills could do the trick, if not, they'll probably kill you and you'll sleep the eternal sleep then:p

But seriously: the dictionary! talk about gods strongest sleeping pill... or was that the Bible?...:p

I don't take pills so I can avoid that accidental (reading instructions is for losers...) "eternal rest"

After going to a private Baptist school for 12 years I don't read the Bible anymore (I know it pretty well actually) I actually find the dictionary interesting (you can tell I just scream "life of the party") I guess I could try to read through Lord of the Rings finally. All of Tolkein's works read like the Bible with it's insanely detailed geneology no one care about.

The only drugs I do are caffeine(which I'm off of right now and it's making me very irritable...) alcohol and occasionally I'll have a cigarette on special occasions. But I'm pretty moderate with all of them. I guess I can do some more bar hopping... I'm trying to get Holmes to come with me, do you want to join as well?;)

I move that all us Insomniacs get together, each bring a loud Boom Box, and walk through the streets playing extremely loud and abnoxious music. If we can't sleep, no ones going to sleep.

Since god alone knows when I have been getting on average 2 - 4 hours of sleep a night. Occassionally I sleep for like 12 - 15 hours straight on a day off but rarely. I'm happy with the situation my body is coping mainly due to the experience of having Insomina for years. I can deal with 4 hours deep sleep a night and generally we're talking from the minute my head hits the pillow to the minute I wake up is deeep sleep.

I'm a night person by nature but this is ridiculous.:mog:

Sex is a sure way(not always though;) ) but I mainly hear music (soft music) and I feel really nice, it calms me down and my mind stays empty and calm.

Would I be alone if I were to say I found this arousing ... even if just a little?

Watching a man wince in agony as I slowly take the life from him through various conventional and unconventional means always makes me sleepy.

I'm actually getting better at coping with the lack of sleep. Two to four hours is all I need nowadays.

I'm afraid calming music doesn't get me sleepy too often, maybe if I can dig up some Enya maybe. As for the other option, I don't have anyone right now:cry:

No, I felt the same way... still waiting for an answer on my "Wonder Woman" question...

This brings me unending joy:) Unfortunately I'm running out of co-workers and I think management is on to me :shifty:
