[bytrsuite]

No one knows what the hell you're talking about G. Maybe it's time for the men in the white coats to come and get you.

[urnofosiris]

I can´t help it that you live in a weird timezone, get out of my thread, you are not nice, though it is kind of you to let me be mean to you too. that goes for both of yous.

[bytrsuite]

I can always sleep man. It might not be when I'm actually supposed to be sleeping, but I can always sleep.

[xita]

Kathy, he's old.. you know how it is.

[urnofosiris]

Well it is common knowlegde that men age more gracefully so I will just assume that is the green eyed monster talking.

[xita]

Yeah, baldness is distinguished.

[urnofosiris]

and so is a manly beer belly I tell you.

[rmmlvm88]

sleep is good.
i hate when i have trouble sleepin'. haven't had insomnia in a few months, but it sucks when it comes back.

[xita]

I remember sleeping 4 hours a night for a long time. I was going bonkers! You need sleep!

[Emms]

so is this thread about lack of sleep? I couldn't sleep for like three days straight last week. I was so tired that I was actually too tired to be sleepy. It was horrible.

[oneyedchicklet]

I can't remember the last time I slept for more than 4 or 5 hours. I usually need at least 4 and I'm fine.

It's supposed to be a daily thread, but G screwed up the title.

So, while we're all (mostly) talking about sleep, it can also be used for random daily things.

Gah, I hate being so tired I can't sleep. It's happened only a couple of times to me, but still, bleh. When I was younger I used to stay up all night to see if I could. I think I used to think it was fun. Now I think I was just a lil' crazy.


Also, G has a big head. Hi G! Hope you haven't been flooded out!

[urnofosiris]

I did not screw up anything, this stupid board did not allow me the full wonderful poetic thread title and whilst daily threads can be filled with all the random hoopla there is, eh Kathy, they can also have a theme and I happen to like my theme mmm´kay? All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy. All work and no sleep makes G a dull boy.

Garfield you've really lost it now.

So I took some tyenol PM last night because I have trouble actually getting to sleep at night. I'm sick and tired of all the thinking and tossing and turning I dont want to do so I took the tyenol PM. Well those didn't really kick in till 1 am mainly because before then I was hyper or something. (If that make's sense....) So I ended up waking entirely late this morning....ugh.

[bytrsuite]

I hate waking up late. I'll set two different alarm clocks so I can avoid it. Though, even after I get up, I mess around on the computer for too long and end up rushing around anyway.

It rained all freaking day today. I got soaked. What I think I hate the most is walking around in squishy shoes.

[Emms]

ugh...I hate squishy shoes (but mostly I hate the sound squishy shoes make when I'm walking around in them.)

And I do that too, bytrsuite. I'm always puttering around on the computer in the morning for waaaay too long...and always end up 3 minutes late for everything.

[FineyMcFine]

Kathy and Emms, I totally do that too. I HATE rushing around in the mornings and yet I always end up doing it...because of the computer. (Or because of my behavior, I guess.)

However, sleep good - I need at least 7.5 hours, 7 minimum, to not feel tired. I am not an insomniac but there are times, mostly when I'm stressed, that I have trouble sleeping and it SUCKS. A low point was when I took a 24 hour Claritin at 5:30pm and only got 2 hours of sleep that night - I finally gave up and read a book from 1am - 5am. Good book, though.

[DameSansMerci]

Me too, Emms...always at least 5 minutes late. Ugh, and I have a term paper to write tonight, so no sleep for me...on top of like four hours of sleep last night...eh, I never get good sleep even when I get my full eight hours, so no loss really...but term papers just suck...

[skittles]

My sleeping tips:

Benedryl... I get away with claiming I take them for my allergies.. which I do, but I only take them before I go to bed....

BUT I HATE WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT & NOT BEING ABLE TO GET BACK TO SLEEP??

Any other "remedies" for NO SLEEP!!! GRRR!!!

[billy]

I've been struggling to sleep in the heat we've been getting here for the past couple of weeks. Scotland and sunshine really don't mix. I'm tossing and turning all night and being roasted alive when I'm in the office.

And when it rains it's warm! Rain shouldn't be warm! That's just not right! What happened to our lovely cold Scottish rain? Damn that evil sun!!!!

[seurat]

My job requires some shift rotations, so I know all about the sleep deprivation problem. Wish I knew a miracle cure to suggest, because then I'd know what to do for myself. Sometimes a cup of milk and a tylenol helps.

This was a fun thread to read though. I love it when the mods are sniping at each other, it strikes me as the natural order of things. (The Mods Must Be Crazy, and all that.) But which one is the evil mod, G? Or is it too close a call?

[skittles]

There are Mods here?? where?

[LtSticks]

My sleep pattern is totally messed up. As I'm a slave of the cinema, I get to work nights as well as days, and last week I had to work the Pirates opening weekend, we didn't get out until 2, and the minibus they got us home in didn't get to mine until 3, so all week I've been out of sync...then again I'm starting to get used to it, though I'm sleeping too much during the days now :(

[db]

I never had this whole sleep problem before I became a nurse (and *I* am lucky - I only work days and evenings (though I do have to take call until 3a on a regular basis)...

My work schedule makes my sleeping wierd because I can't get to sleep right after I leave work. My head is all busy calculating and recalculating what I have done during the day making sure I have signed off on all the medications I administered, documented everything blahblahblah. My head is so busy - so when I work the evening shift I get home at midnight and then I need a few hours to decompress (which puts me in bed at 2 or 3am) - and my day rotations start at 7am - so on those days I need to be in bed by like 10:30ish.

So my sleep schedule is all kerfluey. I take tylenol pm on nights I have to go to sleep early.

*sigh*

I want a job with a regular schedule.

[cattwoman]

Having a tough time sleeping, partly due to the stress at work. I can say, however, that with the "high alert" all week at the office, i plan to sleep all weekend.

Now, if I could talk my body into sleeping now so I can make it through Friday. Damn humidity is making what little sleep I get miserable, this former Seattle girl still is not used to this weather!

[DelWhicker]

It's still so damn hot in the house that sleep will be close to impossible tonight. I'm tempted to turn on the A/C, but the guilt (not to mention the thought of the high electric bill) of cooling the whole house so I can be comfortable in one room is effectively squashing that temptation. I can't even get one of those room a/c's because the windows are the always annoying sliders and not the standard up/down kind.

[dynigirl]

I agree with db shifts can screw you around but I still like them. I often work late then early so I get in about 12 and asleep around 2 and get up at 5.30am, surprisingly I can deal with that better than 8 hrs every night!!!!!!! go figure
