I slept from 2 to 8 am. (Ignoring random waking up in the middle of the night.)

summer · 06.02.2009, 08:18 AM

I am now a relatively normal person.. for a day. Perhaps forever. Who can tell?

This reminds me, though. Someone told me that insomnia is not the inability to sleep, but rather, it is more like... uh... not being able to sleep because you keep having the same recurring nightmares? I would have figured, yeah, nightmares could factor into that, but I didn't think it was the main cause of insomnia? Does anyone know if this is true, or did someone just tell me a load of bullshit?

terriblecanyons · 06.02.2009, 08:19 AM

I slept from 11 pm to 3 am.
I hate sleep.
And no, nightmares are not the main cause of insomnia.

phoenix · 06.02.2009, 08:22 AM

mmmmmm I've been going to bed at 1 or 2 and waking up at 10 or 11. Slowly evolving into a completely nocturnal being. haha.

you were duped.

a short trip to wiki could have told you that though.

what do you need me for?

phoenix · 06.02.2009, 08:25 AM

no seriously. This morning at coffee, I had to move places at the table away from the window so I wouldn't keep yawning. The bright light, it makes me....

... so

....sleepy.

floatingslowly · 06.02.2009, 08:29 AM

I wouldn't know. I sleep with my head under the covers. it keeps the cat from licking me.

nicfit · 06.02.2009, 08:31 AM

I sleep 4-5 hours per night

look behind you!

phoenix · 06.02.2009, 08:36 AM

aha, my cat doesn't lick me.. and covers mean NOTHING to claws of death that reach underneath *pat pat pat where are you... GRAB YR FACE*

nicfit do you always only sleep that long, or are you tired still? Im sure some people sleep less than others..

summer · 06.02.2009, 08:39 AM

I once woke up to a cat with its claws all around my head, attempting to dig them into my skull or something. I normally love cats, but that particular kitty.. very demonic..

atsonicpark · 06.02.2009, 08:41 AM

I slept from 10 am yesterday to 2 am this morning. Longest I've slept in my entire life. But I've been extremely busy working on things ...

_slavo_ · 06.02.2009, 08:45 AM

I sleep from midnight to 7am. Every night, weekends included. That's good, I guess.
Back in 2006, when I was too depressed after breaking up with my ex-girlfriend, I slept only for about 4 hours a night, and it was a pretty fucked-up feeling. I don't know how you can keep up with that, nicfit.

jeez. 16 hours

hmm, when I'm sick/sad I sleep a lot more..

phoenix · 06.02.2009, 08:50 AM

hahhahaha nice sig

atsonicpark · 06.02.2009, 08:56 AM

Well, last week I was up for 32 hours straight at one point. Then, I slept 4 hours. Woke up, was up for another 15 or 16 and slept 4 more. Then I had to work 9 hours, slept only 3 or 4 hours then was up all day + was up 9 more hours. Etc., etc., etc. Lots of boring numbers.. but doing the math in my head real quick... I probably was up 135 of 168 hours last week...

phoenix · 06.02.2009, 08:59 AM

holy crap. There is no way I could do that. When it gets late, even if I dont want to go to bed, I know I eventually have to. My body just shuts down and turns all silly. Also there is that awful *havent slept* taste that is in my mouth all morning when I've only had a couple hours. Urgh.

Glice · 06.02.2009, 09:22 AM

I had a day off today. I haven't slept more than 5 hours for a few weeks, and I had a good 11 hours last night, albeit broken up by e-mailing in sick.

It's all about e-mailing in sick. Don't have to put on a pathetic voice then. Yes!

phoenix · 06.02.2009, 09:29 AM

ooohhh, there has never been a time where I could email in sick. Always needed to call. One time, I did email in sick... and it started a lot of BS/abuse. Never again.

barnaclelapse · 06.02.2009, 09:53 AM

I generally sleep from five to eight and then take a nap at some point during the day.

It's...fucked up, but it seems to be keeping me alive.

phoenix · 06.02.2009, 10:30 AM

1.30

g'night invisble people.

pbradley · 06.02.2009, 10:31 AM

I slept from 11 to 8.

Who cares?
