Its insomnia all over again.

[franznietzsche]

Well, its 3:34 am, so i'd post a new Insomnia thread:

Any other hardcore insomniacs?

I hate sleep personally. Too many nightmares. So i avoid sleep as much as i possibly can, and try never to be in anything but the lightest sleep, otherwise i tend to wake up screaming, or even just screaming in my sleep. Sucks for my roommate.

[Smurf]

3:54, I just gave up trying.

[franznietzsche]

3:54 Am

All these people lurking and viewing but not posting. Driving me and my refresh button insane. Somebody post something somewhere please? Conversations with myself are fun, but they get me sent back to the place with the padded walls. I'm told they miss me there.

[franznietzsche]

3:54, I just gave up trying.


FINALLY!!!

A life sign!!!!

I'm not alone in the universe!!!

[/joygasm]

hmm, it seems our minutes are off by about 5, we've got all night, let's sort that out.

[franznietzsche]

hmm, it seems our minutes are off by about 5, we've got all night, let's sort that out.

nah i was just rounding, my clock says 3:59 currently

[Smurf]

ah ok, mine too.
Shame, that would've been something to do.

[franznietzsche]

This is almost as fast as instant messaging.

I don't whats more sad. That fact, or that i find that fact amusing.

[Smurf]

The Amusing Part.

[franznietzsche]

The Amusing Part.

Hey its been some 25, 26 hours without sleep,i'm allowed to be entertained by the unentertaining. Especially with Kill Bill soundtracks playing in the background.

[Smurf]

Eeeww Kill Bill, thats one of the suckiest movies I've ever not seen.

[franznietzsche]

Eeeww Kill Bill, thats one of the suckiest movies I've ever not seen.

Blasphemy!!

That movie (and i mean both of them combined) is a masterpiece. The first volume even jsut for cinematography and music coordination as well as fight choreography, and the second for just about everything.

The Pai-Mei sequence is unholy. As are some of the shots in the house of blue leaves. And the end credits of vol 2 to "Malaguena Salerosa" look and sound sooo cool.

yeha i'm a little obsessed. I've watched the whole movie at least 15 times, maybe more.

[Smurf]

I don't think I've ever watched a single movie 15 times..... I don't even know if I've watched 15 movies in my entire life.

[franznietzsche]

I don't think I've ever watched a single movie 15 times..... I don't even know if I've watched 15 movies in my entire life.


Lol.

Its the only movie i've bought since moving away from the parents' house, and i watch one of the two almost at least every day. They're jsut so awesome.

[Smurf]

How long have you been out of your parent's house?

[franznietzsche]

How long have you been out of your parent's house?

Since september.

[Smurf]

Ah ok, are you in college then? I still don't know what/where I want to do/go when I graduate (I'm in grade 12) so I'll probably end up doing a gap year.

[franznietzsche]

Yeah, I moved into the dorms in september, its my freshman year. Yeah, if you don't know what you want to do by nowits getting close to public uni deadlines (here anyway, they're anyday now i think).

[Smurf]

My grades arn't good enough for University, I suppose I could do it if I take a year at North Island first, but like I said, I don't even know what I wanna do.

[franznietzsche]

Well figuring out what you want to do whould be the first choice. Although, try a summer of manual labour. Odds are you'll decide very quickly you'd rather go to college. Worked for every other person i knew who wasn't sure what they wanted to do. they very quickly decided that unskilled labour was not it, whatever it was.

[Smurf]

hehe, well secondary education it is... but what courses, that is the question!

[franznietzsche]

hehe, well secondary education it is... but what courses, that is the question!


Well at most colleges you ahve a while to decide what you want to major in. Mine is something of an exception to that rule. You start in your major immediately here, and general educationis spread out over all four years.

[Smurf]

say franz, have you ever been to massechusets? whats it like there?

[franznietzsche]

No I've never been there. But i have friends going to collegenear boston. They're complainingabout the cold rightnow. But then again we're all from the California desert.

[honestrosewater]

Where were you guys three hours ago? I gave up and had to watch C-SPAN. What's worse, it was a hearing I had already seen.

[Smurf]

3 hours ago would have been 1 o clock.. I was re-organizing my music files.

[honestrosewater]

I was in Massachusetts the summer before last... lived a few minutes from MIT- the reason I moved there. Anyway, it was nice- interesting architecture, easy to get around, Cambridge police are great, plenty to do...

[franznietzsche]

I was downloading music and organizingit, ironicallyenough. And laundry. I needed clothes for the next sunrise time.

[Smurf]

hehe, I am considering going to MIT, purely because of Noam Chomsky :tongue2:

[franznietzsche]

Noam Chomsky?

[honestrosewater]

I think there's a law that at least one in every five businesses must be a bar. Lots of bars.

[Smurf]

I wanted to go mainly because of Richard Feynman ;) Well, he was the person I most identified with MIT at least...

[franznietzsche]

Bah, he'sa linguistics professor. No wonder.

He's just jealous of Bush'slinguistic skills andis lashing out in shame.

[Smurf]

so are there any homeless people there?

[honestrosewater]

[franznietzsche]

Feynman taught at CalTech...

Note: Stupid 30 sec rule

[Smurf]

"The point of public relations slogans like "Support our troops" is that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about."-Noam Chomsky

[honestrosewater]

TWENTY ONE!!!!??? THE DRINKING AGE IS 21!!!????

so are there any homeless people there?

Sure, and they're very visible.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?

[honestrosewater]

I don't know any of these people you just mentioned.

Steven Pinker, wrote The Language Instinct and How the Mind Works. I thought you might have read them since they deal with linguistics

[franznietzsche]

Doctorate at MIT, under Wheeler and then straight to Los Alamos with Openheimer. No Masters.

Many, Many things. Insomniac daymares for example. Not fun.

Admitting your problem is the first step to curing it.

I'm off to bed again. See you in 5.

[franznietzsche]

For entertainment value: Yes.

[honestrosewater]

Yes, something constructive must be done.

[honestrosewater]

For entertainment value: Yes.

Less than 6 minutes, more than 1.

[franznietzsche]

Yes, something constructive must be done.

Not at this time of day. I'm debating if its worth it to get two hours of sleep, or jsut say screw it and power charge through the day on coffee, coffee and more coffee.

[Smurf]

Back.

Come on Admit it!

[franznietzsche]

Back.

Come on Admit it!

That didn't take long.

[Smurf]

I've decided to take the Coffee, Coffee, and more Coffee route.
Too bad I don't drink coffee.

[honestrosewater]

It's 8:05am here. I have trouble wasting time when the sun is up... feeling guilty.

[franznietzsche]

there is a great on campus coffee shop here, love the place.

This just in: 100% of 3 people have insomnia!!!

Pollsters conclude: WE need greater participation from the diurnal forum members to draw meaningful conclusiongs.

But long term memory is superb, and my seduction technique worked better on your mother than yours...oh wait...this would be a good thing. Victory for me?

Meh, this insomnia thread almost made it too 100 posts, thats my deed for the night.

And so far, 100% of people still have insomnia

[franznietzsche]

Only eight people in the sample? What kind of poll is is this? Answer people!! Get out the vote!!!

[Smurf]

80% to 20%.

We're losing our standing.

[franznietzsche]

But its still a landslide victory. I tihnk this is a mandate for our late night fully random thread jacking for a few pages on every thread we see. Same time tonight/tomorrow morning?

I don't know man i got school tomorrow.

I got class in the morning too, but its not like my insomnia cares. Ihad class this morning, 1 hour of sleep. So much coffee. I love Julian's. Greatest on campus place ever.


OUr marign of victory is even higher now, 7:1. This is a victory even reagan never could have deramed of!!


NOTE: THis thread made it to 100 posts in less than 24 hours. I just felt like this was an achievement, even if its not.

[Moonbear]

Yeah, I added to the insomniac sum. I'm not a regular insomniac, since I've been up until about 5 AM the past few nights, I'm more like an insomniac than a normal sleeper. I just need to keep moving west.

That gives me a great idea on living a 30 hour day!! See if i just get on a plane and fly six time zones west in every proper day, i will experience a 30 hour day. And i think that should be long enough to math my circadian rhythm. If its not, i could just go for the 32 hour day. That would be great, then each day would be long enough to get everything done!!

There is a real disorder like that...delayed sleep phase disorder, where circadian rhythyms are quite a bit longer than 24 hours. It's not as common as advanced sleep phase disorder, where people wake up ridiculously early in the morning. If you choose a career in academics, we're very tolerant of odd sleep/wake schedules, especially those of us in labs that study circadian biology (not my main interest, but I work in a lab that does circadian work too). But, it's not a disorder if it's caused by stuff like drinking too much coffee. When you have your winter break, try cutting out the coffee and see if you can start sleeping again...harder to try giving up the caffeine addiction while you're still taking classes.

I don't think its a disorder, not entirely(in my case i mean). Its not just coffee. I really hate being asleep. Even without coffee i just naturally try to drag out my waking hours as long as possible, and minimize sleep time.

[honestrosewater]

Yes, sleep is a horrible waste of time.

If you do not cease and desist immediately i will be forced to report the full extent of your plans to Lord Smurf.

[honestrosewater]

I don't know, that sounds like a lot of work... and hard work doesn't seem to be very evil.
Why don't we just stick to the tried and true- deny, deny, deny.

[honestrosewater]

Okay, I'm back now... What? It looks like someone has been at my computer, posting traitorous posts... [wink, wink]

[franznietzsche]

Oh, well then we should find the cuplrit, and prove that it was them sending these seditious messages, not you.

[honestrosewater]

Yes, we should start narrowing the list of suspects. It must have been someone who knew about our organization...

[franznietzsche]

WEll they obviously knew enough to know the physical locations of our computers so as to hack into them and access our secure networks. So we're looking for someone with resources, and computer skills. Probably someone operating from an isolated location, where he would be harder to track.

[honestrosewater]

And someone with a flimsy alibi... like they were alone watching an animated television show.

[franznietzsche]

No, surely they'd be smarter than that. If they were jsut "watching tv" we would know based upon our real time rating systems. The sudden decrease in the ratingsof an arbitrary show unknown to us would have revealed someone turning off their tv to go to a computer.

[honestrosewater]

Of course... unless they anticipated your thinking that they would be smarter than that? Inconceivable!

[franznietzsche]

Hmmm...

Well i've searched the access points of our organization's computer network. I found no unauthorized accesses recorded at any point. This means the perpetrator was either a member, or had access to a member's terminal. But there are only a few terminals, which narrows our search considerably.

[honestrosewater]

Wait, I found a clue under the computer desk... it's a small piece of wood... oh, it's a reed... and judging from the size, a saxophone reed... hmmm... who do we know that plays the saxophone?

[franznietzsche]

I play the saxophone, what are you insinuating? I'll have you know, i'm a victim here too.

[franznietzsche]

Are you trying to frame me for framing you?

I'm not saying anything... the evidence speaks for itself.

I'm confused now- are you admitting your guilt or accusing me?

Remember, I have in my possession some private messages someone may be interested in seeing...

Your sedition has been clearly documented, you will answer for your crimes against Lord Smurf. Tricking me by claiming that it was not you planning this sedition was most dastardly.

You know full well what i am accusing you of!! Seditious acts against Lord Smurf, involving an assassination tempt by penguin.


And i have your seditious replies to my sting operation, which are being delivered as we speak.

Well, my efforts to make this thread construcitve didn't work, but I remembered that old saying about men, "If you can't beat 'em, just give them a hand and they'll beat themselves."

Hmm, too far? :devil:

but it didnt work. He may get the Evil part, but that's only half the title.

I think based on the fatct that i scored either high,very high,or extreme for every single circle of hell with a punishment that i am themostevil.

[Gokul43201]

It's about 4:20 am here, and I'm still in the lab...but I am finally done. Cooling down crystats can be a 8!t(# :grumpy:

[Smurf]

I think the fact that I scored Very High in almost every circle, eneded up in level 9 and am currently planning a coup against Satan means that I am the Evilest Genius

You west coast folks are just getting warmed up...wot ?

I woke up at 12:00, currently 1:22, gonna stay up all night.

[Moonbear]

Welcome back Gokul! Haven't seen you here in a while. I'm probably going to head to bed soon...I'm not a very good insomniac, though I try. Sucks when the sun comes up before I'm in bed.

Yeah...lotsa work in the lab...and a busted comp at home, and no time to fix it. :grumpy:

Time for the long walk home... :frown:

Enjoy the night, y'all ! :approve:

But my scores were low in the good circles. Soyou gettingVery High there makes me more evil.

[Loren Booda]

My meds cause me somnolence, an extra two hours of sleep per day.

[franznietzsche]

Also, We're losingare lead in the polls Smurf, take up the slack, be a leader!!

[Smurf]

there are no 'good' circles in hell, just less evil ones, therefor my having high in the 'eviller' circles as well as high in the 'not quite so evil' circles totals my evil to more than yours.

[franznietzsche]

No, Limbo - the virtuous non believers is for good people, and purgatory is for people with good families who pay the catholic church to let them stay there.

Thats less total evil.

[BoulderHead]

I get so tired of not being able to sleep.

What is sleep?

[Gokul43201]

I've heard about this pretty loose girl in my department who everyone says is "sleeping around"...so I thinks it's got something to do with you-know-what.

I don't suppose she could show me how its done?

[Evo]

To be at my best, I need 10 hours of sleep a night. It's been almost three years since I've had a good night''s sleep. :cry:

[BoulderHead]

I never could do it that long.

[Gokul43201]

I don't suppose she could show me how its done?

Okay...here's one for the words of wisdom thread : Don't ever walk up to someone and ask, "Are you the girl that sleeps around ?"

Sorry franz...no luck on that one.

[honestrosewater]

Yes, especially if that someone is a big, tough guy.

Nyquil isn't just for breakfast anymore...

[Evo]

Nyquil isn't just for breakfast anymore... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Unfortunately I wake up about every 45 minutes, but usually manage to go back to sleep, so I never get quality sleep. :frown:

I'm actually officially suffering from chronic sleep deprivation. My doctor has prescribed sleeping pills, but I hate taking medication.

Ambien has to be the worst, it only last 3 hours and if you don't fall asleep immediately, it causes some very bizarre halucinations. I've talked to others that have taken it and they've all experienced the same thing, I'm surprised it hasn't become as popular as quaalude. :surprised

[honestrosewater]

That must be awful. Have you ever tried melatonin?

[Evo]

That must be awful. Have you ever tried melatonin?No, I haven't.

My problem is that my hands fall asleep and that painful sensation wakes me up. I've had all kinds of tests done and apparently I am the healthiest person on the face of the earth. My doctor has no explanation for what causes my hands to fall asleep, he thinks it's small veins and if I bend my wrists in my sleep, the blood circulation is cut off. So he prescribes sleeping pills in the hope that I will be too drugged to wake up, but I wake up anyway. :frown:

His other suggestion was to tie my hands/arms to boards so I couldn't bend them in my sleep. The problem is, I can't sleep with boards tied to my hands and if I could, I'd probably hit myself in the head in my sleep and cause even worse problems.

I only take something if I have an important meeting in the morning and need more than 45 minutes of sleep. Needless to say, I go through most days in a daze. :rolleyes:

[Moonbear]

That must be awful. Have you ever tried melatonin?

Yeah, maybe that would work for you Evo. I tried it once, it didn't help me fall asleep any sooner (my clock is too far off for a little melatonin pill to reset), but when I did fall asleep, I found I slept much more soundly...didn't wake up as many times at night. I think all the tablets over-the-counter (in the vitamin section) are the same dosage (I think 10 mg, but I'd have to check on that). Just take one about a half hour before you want to go to sleep.

[honestrosewater]

I took melatonin for a while when I was 12 (10 years ago), but I didn't take it regularly so I can't testify to its effectiveness. I have been reading over some studies and articles, and they are all positive. BTW melatonin is produced by your body; I know that is one of the first questions I ask when considering medication.

Your case does present a problem since anything you use to stabilize your hands may itself cut off the circulation :rolleyes:
Hmm...

[Moonbear]

I've heard about this pretty loose girl in my department who everyone says is "sleeping around"...so I thinks it's got something to do with you-know-what.

One of my friends and I used to have this ongoing joke...we had a theory...yeah, one of those kinds of theories:

Conservation of Sleep
There's only a finite quantity of sleep in the world. If somebody starts to sleep too much and takes more than their fair share, someone else must be deprived of sleep.

I figure I'm not getting any sleep for a while since he and his wife and baby (who already steals WAY more than his fair share of sleep, but babies are allowed to do that since their parents normally don't get to use any of that sleep) are all on vacation now, sleeping in every day, stealing all of our sleep apparently! :grumpy: I'm going to have to have a LONG talk with them when they return. They can't ALL get sleep at the same time.

[Moonbear]

No, I haven't.

My problem is that my hands fall asleep and that painful sensation wakes me up. I've had all kinds of tests done and apparently I am the healthiest person on the face of the earth.

I didn't see this post before I added mine about melatonin. Probably won't help much in that case, you'll just wake up even groggier. I had a problem a little like that for a while, somehow I would sleep in some strange way that I'd either cut off circulation to my arm, or pinch a nerve or something, and would wake up with my arm hurting like pins and needles. I just piled up more pillows on the bed and manage to use the pillows to keep me from getting turned around too much. But I don't know if that's what your problem is.

There is something called restless legs syndrome that's like that but for legs. I don't know what causes that, so don't know if the same could happen to your hand.

[honestrosewater]

Aha! Panyhose and heat ;) Okay, I'm very tired. But pantyhose are the least restrictive, best breathability (?!), they're cheap, and easy to use (and a lot softer than boards!). And heat to quicken the blood flow to your hands when they wake you. Sorry, that's the best I've got for now :zzz:

[Moonbear]

You know, I was thinking (sometimes I do that, and since I've been posting between housecleaning for tomorrow, I've had lots of time to think between posts)...do you only need to keep your wrist straight, or your whole arm? If it's just your wrists, then they have those lightweight braces for carpal tunnel syndrome. You could just put them on at night. There are ones just made out of that elastic Ace Bandage type material that are soft, so wouldn't need to worry about clonking yourself in the head with boards.

That, or maybe you need a boyfriend who will tie you to the bedposts at night so you won't sleep on your hands? :devil:

[honestrosewater]

:rofl: :zzz: :bugeye: Oh yes, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :smile: :zzz:

I've thought about trying that, it might work. My problem is that I don't move when I sleep, so my hands stay in the same position, therefore they fall asleep. If I tossed and turned, the constant changing of position would alleviate the problem
