*The INSOMNIA Thread*

[Rocksquirrel]

*~WELCOME TO THE insomnia thread ~*



You know this, it's 3am or 4am, porn got old, forums are dead, nothing really happens and you are still awake. You have too much on your mind, you are sick, you are awful tired but you can't fall asleep or you are still super awake without feeling sleepy.



This is the thread you come to post in when its late... you can't sleep... you feel like venting about it.
"
o Journal-ize it if you must. Tell us whats vexing you tonight... why you can't sleep. What's keeping you up. etc.

o Get it off your chest until you can finally fall asleep or until your typing is too blurry on the screen for you to read it.

o Feel free to share what your doing to combat the insomnia besides posting in the forums... advice for better sleep is always welcome!"

[Rocksquirrel]

Hey Sandra. How's it goin'?

I played Sims the whole night >.<

[Moonmike]

It's 3.20 a.m. and I have headaches. My sleepiness is turning into hyperness again.

[PinkPromise]

Finally, an insomniac thread! I will probably be in and out of here, from time to time...especially these days. I have been on a fast now, for two days and I was already an insomniac, but it's all the more difficult now...and I like to log on and read late, so now I'll have a place where I can speak what's on my "tired, can't sleep, out of whack" mind..yay! I always say strange things when I am out of it..I can go on and on..

[AliceXD]

its 6 minutes to 10 here.... and i already know tonights gonna be a bad night.... everything is going down the tubes.... i only hope shes alright and doesnt do anything stupid.....

[PinkPromise]

it's a bit after 4 am (4:10 am) to be exact (Eastern time, as I am on the East coast right now, staying with my sister) and I'm still going strong...not a bit tired, but I tried to sleep, couldn't sleep a wink though, so here I am....nobody is on, but just two ppl and myself, which means people are on, actually...borrrrrrring..will prolly watch some television. :confused:

[PinkPromise]

..it's now nearing six am.........................aw, what to do, what to do....probably play the Xbox, maybe.

[Moonmike]

it's 3 am again and I am watching videos on youtube from a guy who reviews gameboy games.

[Moonmike]

You people are sooo lame.
It's again 3 a.m. and I'm still awake and try to finish the story I'm writing. I actually picked a last name for the main character now because I never thought about one before.

[AliceXD]

1:30 in the morning..... gonna try to go to sleep.... hopefully she is getting some sleep...
and hopefully i will be able to stop thinking about if its a scare or not.... hoping its just false... please let it be false... but only time will tell.... crap...

[MrHUHN]

i always sleep at 7am

[AliceXD]

2:30 am..... sleeping didnt work yet...
thinking about putting on Bang Bang You're Dead....

or finding another movie somewhere.. i dunno

-bangs head on laptop- i hope shes alright... why must i care so much about her... uuuuuuugh

[MrHUHN]

[LPrnway]

this is a perfect thread for me. and i just joined a similar group on facebook! :P

[Rocksquirrel]

oh the irony!

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j182/swiftian/irony/irony6.jpg

[Rocksquirrel]

It's 2:20am and I have to stand up in like 4 hours for school :rolleyes: At least playing Sims2 for like 2 hours makes me a bit sleepy. I think I'll try in 10 minutes to sleep, maybe I have luck. :)

[Rocksquirrel]

3:37am .

[87_Hetfield]

Hey Sandra.

[Rocksquirrel]

Aloha Joe :) It's almost 4am.

[87_Hetfield]

Sounds fun. =/

I've been having weird sleep patterns on and off for the past few years. Mostly due to nightmares.

[Rocksquirrel]

yes, much fun! especially since I have in 3 hours school.

I'm sorry :/ How come?

[87_Hetfield]

Ew, weak.

Why nightmares? Dunno. Had them off an on for years. I used to not mind them, because it used to be totally unrealistic shit. Now I'm having nightmares about shit that could actually happen at any moment, which is a bit unnerving.

[Rocksquirrel]

I slept like one hour -_- soon I need to go to school...

Those dreams are the worst! After those dreams I am always so confused and feared.

[AliceXD]

kinda lost track of time cuz i was downloading music... but now that i realize what time it is im not tired anymore...

but damn... i like this band...

[Rocksquirrel]

What's the time over there?

I slept one hour and don't feel tired o.o

[87_Hetfield]

I slept like one hour -_- soon I need to go to school...

Those dreams are the worst! After those dreams I am always so confused and feared.

I usually go to bed at 12, they wake me up around 3, I stay awake until 6. Almost every night.

[Rocksquirrel]

oh a three hours sleeper :/ Welcome in the club. *hugs*

[AliceXD]

its 6 till 2..

so yeah... im really kinda not tired... but like if i am tired and try to go to sleep i wont be able to...

[AliceXD]

so instead of going to bed.. i wanted to make an animation;... so since the way i wanted to make the animation wouldnt work.. now im too pissed off to frigging sleep... GRRRRRR

[AliceXD]

12:16 am... crap... ugh and i gotta be awake early... ugh... though i do have to admit.. framing hanley is nice to listen to for the time being.... especially 23 days

[Rocksquirrel]

The last two days I slept nearly good :eek:

[87_Hetfield]

Computer's loud, it gets shut off at 1. At 3 I'm staring out the window.

Why don't you listen to music instead? You have an awesome ipod :P

[87_Hetfield]

Very few sleep-time songs. Most of the iPod is full of high reving stuff that would wake me up even more.

You need to create a play list with silent songs. Or listen many many times in a row only one piano song. This helps me :)

Ah, that'll work great! Nice and boring. :p

[LPrnway]

i need to find a way to stop thoughts that keep popping in my head when i'm trying to sleep! i'm sick and tired of sleeping at 5-6am because of that..

[Rocksquirrel]

Sounds good. Any suggestions?

Some NIN and Opeth songs :) The quiet one work really great.

If you want I'll make a playlist for you ^_^

@Sonia: I wish I'd know what helps :/ I always play Sims when I have too many things on my mind. Always remember: things which happened in the past you can't change. For example exams. Focus on improving instead of worrying how much you failed actually.

i don't really think of exams or things that happened in the past. it's just random thoughts, like i'm having a conversation with myself..i swear, i think i'm getting crazy >_>

oh, and since you mentioned Opeth. i'm opening myself to new music and Opeth is on my list. which of their albums is the best to start?

haha, aww *hugs* Maybe listening to music or having the TV turned on help. Turned on television helped me many times :) The sounds makes you sleepy and you focus more at them.

I'd start with "Watershed" although it's the latest album by them. Or "Ghost of Reveries" :)

i always sleep with the tv on, complete silence frightens me. it doesn't really help because you can find interesting things to watch that late, like old CSI episodes xD
maybe i'll try the most boring station and program there is!
i should find ways to make me really tired throughout the day so i can sleep easier.

great, thanks a lot! :)

I always lay down, close my eyes and only listen to the program's sounds. The most boring station is always good :D

No problem ^_^ I love to recommend Metal stuff.

your not the only one with those problems...
i relive the day in memories.. conversations... when i looked at the clocks... then i think about what ifs and run through scenarios through my head of like how things would be if i made this choice apposed to that choice.. then i start talking to myself because i can sleep and dont want to think about said things..

it sucks.. and i havnt found a remedy yet...

oh currently its 4 to midnight... and im sitting listening to Framing Hanley on one end of the couch and my uncle (who also has insomnia) is sitting on the other end watching house XD

its kinda funny

[87_Hetfield]

Can't sleep. Korn really isn't helping, but meh.

[Tiernan_]

Seriously? I'm getting sick of it. I have to get up for work in 3 hours. But what am I doing instead of sleeping? Finishing Savannah's beach project for school, and putting both kids to bed. What are you doing? Fucking sleeping since 5pm!!! WTF? I was at work for 10 1/2 hours today, but no, I am unable to sleep.

I suppose this is forced insomnia. :mad: :(

[AliceXD]

i do exactly the same....those damned what ifs..! =/
yeah... it happens to me all the time.. even during the day.. but its mostly at night when im trying to sleep

[Rocksquirrel]

Can't sleep. Korn really isn't helping, but meh.

KoRn isn't silent, peaceful music :p

[87_Hetfield]

KoRn isn't silent, peaceful music :p

No they are not. :cool:

[Rocksquirrel]

No they are not. :cool:

So why didn't you fall asleep? :P

[87_Hetfield]

Keep thinking bullets were about to come through the window.

[Rocksquirrel]

Is that an allusion to "Freak On A Leash"?

oh btw. I have an insomnia activity now :)

[87_Hetfield]

Is that an allusion to "Freak On A Leash"?

Actually no, I'm really paranoid about some fucker shooting up the block, though it is a good reference now that I'm thinking about it.

oh btw. I have an insomnia activity now :)

Woot!

[Rocksquirrel]

Actually no, I'm really paranoid about some fucker shooting up the block, though it is a good reference now that I'm thinking about it.

Woot!

Do you really live in such a dangerous area? Sucks.
We were talking about KoRn and I thought you could have been kidding me again.

I got borrowed an e-guitar. Now I am trying to play it. But the Frets are so far away from each other :( I don't have freaking male hands. My fingers aren't that long >.> and a girlfriend/boyfriend is always good for insomnia :p haha.

Doesn't help you the working out to fall asleep more easily? People always tell me to exercise more so I'd get tired.

[87_Hetfield]

Do you really live in such a dangerous area? Sucks.

Kinda.

We were talking about KoRn and I thought you could have been kidding me again.

Yeah, I'll do that sometimes.

What's an e-guitar?

lol elf fingers. :p


Doesn't help you the working out to fall asleep more easily? People always tell me to exercise more so I'd get tired.

Nah. I'm done working out by 7-7:30 and go to bed at like 12:30-1:00. Doesn't keep me tired for long.

[Rocksquirrel]

Kinda.


Yeah, I'll do that sometimes.

Hope you will move there away some day :/

YES. I know that >_>

E-Guitar = Electronic guitar :P We in Germany use the short version for it.

:,( They are awesome with playing piano and touching guys >.> lol.

How long do you work out? For how many hours? And many try to read a book before you go sleep.

[87_Hetfield]

Hope you will move there away some day :/

Me too. It'll be nice not having to worry about some fucker shooting.

People think I'm making this shit up... :(

YES. I know that >_>


But I'm great. =D

:,( They are awesome with playing piano and touching guys >.> lol.

...damn girl.

How long do you work out? For how many hours? And mayne try to read a book before you go sleep.

On average an hour and a half to 2 hours. Depending on what I'm doing.

I need to try that.

[Rocksquirrel]

Me too. It'll be nice not having to worry about some fucker shooting.

People think I'm making this shit up... :(

They have no idea. Since every sick fucker can get a gun in the USA I wouldn't be less afraid.


But I'm great. =D

Yes :rolleyes:


...damn girl.

lol, you remind me of my bf last weekend xD We were talking about snoring people. I told him he snored and he said he wouldn't know if I snore because he falls asleep earlier than me. I was like that many people told me I wouldn't snore. He was like: "AHA!?" I think, he misinterpreted it xD I didn't mean how many guys slept next to me :rolleyes: onyl that I don't do any noises.


On average an hour and a half to 2 hours. Depending on what I'm doing.

I need to try that.

Try to advance it to maybe three hours or two and a half. I friend of mine did it like that and it helped him.

Yes. I used to do it when I was little. It helped really. :)

[87_Hetfield]

They have no idea. Since every sick fucker can get a gun in the USA I wouldn't be less afraid.

Pretty much, yeah...

Yes :rolleyes:

I should maybe do more running. Wear me out, plus, get more cardio in. Win win.

Yes. I used to do it when I was little. It helped really. :)

Great. I'll do that.

[Rocksquirrel]

Pretty much, yeah...

In which state would you like to live anyway?

:)


Fish and chips!

You sound fun. =p


Yes, I did spelling mistakes >.> I like the thought that he thinks I have a Finnish lover xD

I should maybe do more running. Wear me out, plus, get more cardio in. Win win.

Again, a friend of mine does this :P Shall help.

Great. I'll do that.

Choose a not too complicated book, though. No Kafka xD

[87_Hetfield]

In which state would you like to live anyway?

Stay here in Virginia. Just further up North. Much nicer up there.



Fish and chips!

Om nom nom.

Yes, I did spelling mistakes >.>

lolk

Nice.

I have some autobiographies I need to finish up.

[Rocksquirrel]

Om nom nom.

Wooooooooooooosh. I am the silent wind of doom!

Me is trés weird.


Nice.


yep.

I have some autobiographies I need to finish up.

No need for new books then. Which autobiographies btw?

[87_Hetfield]

If you like :P I always wanted to go to Arizona.

Why? It sucks there. 100+ degrees and scorpions. You'd hate that.


Wooooooooooooosh. I am the silent wind of doom!

Angry Beavers, no?

Me is trés weird.

Hella. :p

No need for new books then. Which autobiographies btw?

Eric Bischoff and Anthony Keidas from Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[Rocksquirrel]

Why? It sucks there. 100+ degrees and scorpions. You'd hate that.

Yeah, maybe. Since my dream country is in the cold north xD


Angry Beavers, no?

YEAH =D I love it.


Hella. :p

I never said something different. :cool:


Eric Bischoff and Anthony Keidas from Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Cool =) Anthony Kiedi's life is very exciting, at least in my opinion.

[87_Hetfield]

Cool =) Anthony Kiedi's life is very exciting, at least in my opinion.

Seriously. you should check out this book. Crazy.

[shattered_pieces]

[Rocksquirrel]

Finally I managed my head to be silent and now this. I have a fucking cold which doesn't let me fall asleep or in general doesn't let me sleep for more than 4 hours. I'm coughing all the fucking time.

Meh. Life is a bitch people.

im right with you on that one.... im just getting over being sick.... sucks... expecailly when youre never sick so its like WTF and then you want to like... kill something...

Yeah, exactly. For the last 6 years I wasn't so sick like I am now. Only a few weeks ago I just recovered from a fucking cold like that. I am tired of it. *angry*
The worst is really before I go to bed and right after I wake up. I cough for 10 minutes non-stop.

oh and, get well soon, Kellie! :P

What happened so terrible that you are pissed off?

[87_Hetfield]

I keep having nightmares where I die. Like, every night for 2 weeks.

[Rocksquirrel]

Usually death isn't a bad sign when you dream about it. It's more like a new start/beginning.

Do you know why you have those nightmares? Maybe it's a psychological problem.

E.g My old classmates bullied me for a very long and till today I still dream about them although I don't think about those fuckers. I haven't seen them for 2 years either.

[87_Hetfield]

Do you know why you have those nightmares? Maybe it's a psychological problem.

Dunno, but Thursday night I had a dream my car stalled in an intersection and I got hit by a speeding car and killed, and Friday my car stalled in the same intersection. So that was kind of a mindfuck.

Didn't die, obviously, but still...

[Rocksquirrel]

^ ah I understand *hugs*

I can't sleep =( I feel so worried about so many things.

[Moonmike]

2:15am; Can't sleep. My neck freakin' hurts. I'm watching cartoons while drawing mindless crap...meh.
