Wow, I had no idea that this would be such a great topic for the Pool room! I'm sending friend requests to all of you insomniacs! It's our sleep schedule that unites us!
Heh... I like how alot of the smash writers responded. I'm a writer, too (some of you may have read my short story >_<). I wonder if that has to do with anything... I have a professor who is a writer and she has insomnia, too. Interesting... I dunno, tho... with me, it's like I could sleep whenever I felt like it, like now... but instead stay up. It's like i'm possessed and I end up getting stuck surfing 4chan or Smashboards or Newgrounds or Digg or the plethora of other welcome distractions from real life that the internet provides. In fact, I'm sure there's many cases of insomnia caused by the 24 hour escape called the Internet. If it wasn't for the internet, all of us insomniacs would really just be alone in our houses, trying to get to sleep X_X
The reason you can't fall asleep is because the bright light from the computer screen fools your eyes into thinking it's daytime and your body will assume that you're supposed to be awake. I read that somewhere, but I still go on the computer at night anyways :D
That makes sense, I do feel slightly less tired when I stare at this screen. I guess it's the light shining directly into your eyes, because it doesn't happen so much at other times during the day X_X
Sometimes I don't get to sleep until five in the morning, even on school days which sucks. I would spend time on "teh internets," but my lap top's light shines through the crack in my doors, making it obvious when I'm on. I've been busted before.
Tuck a towel/shirt into your door crack. Your parents wont know a thing.
Yooo.
I can't sleep well either. It's a mix of not wanting sleep, trying to "put off" school for as long as I can, I enjoy the night, and staying up so late lets you think on things.
You KNOW you have issues when one day you go "Woah! I'm AWAKE today! What an odd feeling..."
I know what you mean. I haven't felt well rested in over 3 months : D
I have the opposite problem: a varying case of Narcolepsy. I have trouble staying awake sometimes.
Although I stay up pretty late sometimes.
You have my pity, Dr.Mario Guy. I could understand missing sleep, but missing life? Ouch! What a cooincidence that you posted in my thread and later on we'd be eating pizza at CiCi's together
. Also, congrats on managing to three-stock Hylian that one round!
For a little more than a month now I've been staying up until around 4am and waking up around 10:30. I know it's horrible for my body, but I'm just never tired until at least 3am, regardless of whether I'm on the computer or not. Hopefully I'll be back in my healthy and regular 10pm-6am schedule once school starts back up.
I'm rarely getting more than 6 hours of sleep a night these days, too. Never had a healthy schedule, though. Just a less unhealthy one ; )
I have trouble sleeping, too. Well, up until about 3:00 AM or something. Thing is, I actually like staying up this late... or early.
I enjoy it to an extent as well, otherwise I'd be more deadset on going to sleep O_O
I actually wrote a poem about sleepless nights once, I think I'll post it in the poetry thread later.
I think I'm going to die if I try to stay up any longer tonight. Peace out to all my sleepless homies! ^_^
