PGD: Happy Birthday, Red!

[PZ]

I still think both fast food joints are bad although I generally don't care when I am offered anything. I still agree that Taco Bell is better. If I never tasted home cooking before it may be a different story.
@KLo I am very distracted everytime I see any post by you because of that super woman GIF...

 

[Vinylic.]

The only thing I like in kfc are the potato edges. They're better than any other french fries. I hate boned chicken otherwise.

 

[Urban Menace]

@kaylo, AYYY so longz since we've talked, man, my weefee is terrible at school for real tho!!, and between school and work i be real busy, but I'm home, and I went to a tourney when i was in AL...,

[redfeatherraven]

Nah man, you got two years and change on me.
And your pic's been in the first post as long as I've been here.

Good to meet the hypothetical man, myth, and legend, though. Welcome back.

 

[~Radiance~]

Well if it isnt urban, my favorite of chus. Hope your schooling/life has been pleasant

 

[PZ]

Speaking of school I should change my occupation and other profile stuff...although it doesn't really mean anything I do so anyway.

 

[Urban Menace]

@red nice to meet you too brah, i had actually forgot about that pic, I might update that (hmm)

@FZies (hug) long time no see mayne, it actually has been pretty good, what about you???

@PZ dood, i'm thinking about doing the same thing haha

 

[~automatic]

Hey UB! Hope you're doing great buddy.

I'm kinda getting by I suppose.

 

[PZ]

So guys and gals, I am having trouble sleeping lately because I forgot to turn off my alarm for school on my phone one day...Is there any solution without any form of drugs like a type of tea or fruit/food?

I hate waking up early for no reason and not being able to go back to sleep, causing me to sleep in the evening and messing up my schedule.

 

[Geoberos]

Something something about warm milk? Urban Myth?

 

[~Radiance~]

unfortunately your circadian rhythms are kinda hard to mess with once they get habitual. the best way to correct them is to introduce a new sleep cycle pattern, or to take something that will force your sleep earlier to fix the cycle. My advice would be really to pull an all nighter or force yourself to sleep earlier to fix the schedule.

@Urbs: dood ive been good. really liking being on break after a semester of grad school so im just chillin it up. Finally got l4d2 on my comp so been playin a ton of that

 

[Vale]

A lot of medication that forces sleep can keep you in the later stages/prevent REM, so I would suggest the other solutions (all nighter, trying to sleep earlier).

 

[PZ]

I guess I will go for a all nighter then because there is no way I would go to sleep early...thats like a dream...
@Urban Welcome back dude!

 

[Urban Menace]

@FZsies O rly?? You graduated?? Congratulations mayne!! I'm proud of you haha, how's grad school?? I got 5 classes left in undergrad mayne

@PZ thanks!!

@auto yeah i been doing pretty good, same thing different day imo.

 

[Scatz]

Sup Urban. Long time no see.

Lol DLW posting on here. He's been alive and kicking on FB. XD

I have forgotten how most fast food tastes like. I've stopped easting at the normal chains for the past few months (except McDs on extreme circumstances).

Also, sleep pills are not detrimental unless you get to needing them pretty much more than 2 times a week (in a consistent manner of course). There's foods/drinks that give energy to help you sustain throughout the day (OJ for instance), or you can make sure you stay physically active throughout the day so that you're tired and sure to sleep easily during the time you want to. Sleep medication should be used as a last resort in my opinion, but if you need to fix it fast, then it'll get the job done. After you fix your sleep schedule though, make sure you don't screw it up again.

 

[~Radiance~]

@urbs: its been good. a ton of writing but besides that its really just busy work not really super tough stough. Nice that you are close to done, whatre your plans after? invent the home skillet bacon butter gudda burger biscuit corp?

@scatz: yea i think taking a benadryl wouldnt be such a bad idea if it was to sleep early once and correct the schedule. just be careful not to get addicted to em PZ, i was when i was a kid lol

 

[Urban Menace]

@Scatz Whattt uppp mayne!!

@FZsies: Ok that's good, and yes the home skillet bacon butter gudda burger biscuit corporation will go into effect, serving home skillet bacon butter gudda burger biscuits with waffles, pancakes, and other breakfast foods to customers worldwide...lol, but i will probably go to grad school math and while that's goin on start on the path to becoming an actuary

 

[Angiance]

How's everybody feelin' today? :3

 

[KayLo!]

Where have you been!? I sent you a message to put my details on the front page, even took a super emo picture for you! xP

Lol, I saw! My bad for not putting it up yet -- I was in NY this weekend, but I'll add it to the OP soon. =X

@kaylo, AYYY so longz since we've talked, man, my weefee is terrible at school for real tho!!, and between school and work i be real busy, but I'm home, and I went to a tourney when i was in AL...,

Damn, they got you with the bootleg wifi? How'd you do at the tourney?

So guys and gals, I am having trouble sleeping lately because I forgot to turn off my alarm for school on my phone one day...Is there any solution without any form of drugs like a type of tea or fruit/food?

Any tea that doesn't have caffeine might help (I drink a brand called Sleepytime -- basically chamomile tea with some other herbs), but it's really only going to help relax you, not actually put you to sleep.

Other stuff that might help:
- No TV/computer for an hour before bed, although personally I cheat and watch a little TV. Nothing too mentally stimulating though.
- Read something dry or boring, like the newspaper or a history textbook.
- Or you can hard reset with an all-nighter like Lawrence + others suggested.

If you decide to go the sleep med route, look into getting Zzzquil or melatonin supplements (not both!) at the drugstore. They're both non habit forming and actually work assuming you don't have crazy full-blown insomnia.... they won't knock you out cold, but they definitely make it easier to get/stay asleep.

 

[Angiance]

Easy way to get to sleep: do something reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally tedious, or just have your friends bust you in the cranium with an iron frying pan (NOT RECOMMENDED)

 

[Roller]

this thread is really all over the place right now.





Who am I seeing at APEX?

 

[Scatz]

Not me.I'll be working during that time. Plus, with no practice, I don't want to waste my money making the trip up there. I might re-enter the scene next year after I finish taking care of a few more personal things though.

@Kaylo, how is Zzzquil? I've heard about it and my sis has used it, but I've never tried it yet. I wonder if it can knock me out like Tylenol PM used to...

 

[Phoenix Lord']

I'll be at Apex, of course. I gotta keep up my perfect attendance streak, after all.

 

[Urban Menace]

Mannnn, i can't go to Apex,

@kayloz I got reflex second round winners ;_;.. but I got 5th tho

 

[KayLo!]

5th isn't bad, esp if you only get to practice on ****ty wifi. =X

& I have no clue if I'm going to Apex. Kinda want to, but I'm so out of touch with Smash now, it's really not worth the money.

@Kaylo, how is Zzzquil? I've heard about it and my sis has used it, but I've never tried it yet. I wonder if it can knock me out like Tylenol PM used to...

Honestlyyyy, it's pretty great. Gives you a warm, fuzzy, drowsy feeling so you just nod off as soon as you get relaxed. No hangover/grogginess in the morning either.

 

[redfeatherraven]

So guys and gals, I am having trouble sleeping lately because I forgot to turn off my alarm for school on my phone one day...Is there any solution without any form of drugs like a type of tea or fruit/food?

I figure you've probably worked this out by now, but just in case.

I've had to reset my sleep schedule multiple times for various reasons. The all-nighter is my method of choice. The morning after, when the new schedule starts, I also keep a 5-hour energy or other caffeinated drink by the bedside and set two alarms on my phone - one for the new wakeup time, one 15 early. When the first goes off, I down the drink, and it usually kicks in by the time the second goes off and allows me to get up.

It may take a few days of this to solidify things but it usually takes me no more than two. I have no corroborating reports, however, so if you give this a go your results may vary.

Also, in terms of actually going to sleep, KayLo's already mentioned most of my tips (girl knows what's up), but to emphasize one of them, reading is my secret weapon when I need to conk. It often works without my clearance, in fact, judging by how many times I pass out in the middle of some article. You'll also want to eliminate light sources around the bed as much as possible. Phones, handhelds, even digital alarm clocks if possible (just put 'em on the floor). I remember reading that blue lights are especially damning but I don't recall the reasoning.

How's everybody feelin' today? :3

Feeling phenomenal. Gonna be a good day.

Who am I seeing at APEX?

Not me, shocking nobody. Time is no concern this year, money still is.

Who knows, though. Maybe I'll get competitive enough in Smash Wii U/3DS or Gen VI Pokemon to justify dropping by in 2015.

 

[Angiance]

I'd like to see y'all play at APEX by stream.

 

[Roller]

Just tune in for Grand Finals of any of the games I guess. I'll be there.

 

[Urban Menace]

man i hadn't practiced for real except the night before the tourney for real for real, i dun get to play weefee while im at school

 

[KayLo!]

I'll be there.

You still play Pika, or are you 100% ICs (or whoever) now?

 

[Vale]

We're on the Pikachu boards, so it seems pretty obvious that everyone here mains Pikachu.

Why is everyone laughing?

 

[Phoenix Lord']

You still play Pika, or are you 100% ICs (or whoever) now?

lol

 

[Angiance]

Some, traitors-I mean smashers here aren't actually fellow Pikachu

 

[KayLo!]

lol

Guess that answers my question. ;;

 

[Dream Land Works]

Lol, I saw! My bad for not putting it up yet -- I was in NY this weekend, but I'll add it to the OP soon. =X

Yay! Thanks, looking forward to it. So how have you been?

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Some, traitors-I mean smashers here aren't actually fellow Pikachu

You really are new here if you think that playing Pikachu is required to be a Pika.

 

[~automatic]

My roommate might break up with his GF and I think I might not get to see the show since I go back to SoCal on Wednesday.

 

[Angiance]

Okay well, Pheonix, if you have good eyesight you'll realize that I WAS talkin' about playing the character...ya smartass

 

[Phoenix Lord']

So was I.

 

[Angiance]

So anyways, what do y'all think will happen this APEX? :3
