I've never had a daydream.

Question: Should I ever admit how long I spent trying to figure out what a daymare is?
 
  • #56
Admitting your problem is the first step to curing it.

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

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

I've decided to take the Coffee, Coffee, and more Coffee route.
Too bad I don't drink coffee.
 
  • #64
It's 8:05am here. I have trouble wasting time when the sun is up... feeling guilty.
 
  • #65
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.

Insomniacs say : We dominate the forum.

Is the lack of sleep showing yet?

Exactly short term memory.

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?

I can't sleep when my mind is working too hard, which it is right now. Buzzing about economics, politics, history, girl.
You know how it is.

That smiley is far too energetic for how i actually feel. Hyper, but exhausted. Its a bizarre feeling, kinda like vertigo, but less trippy.

  • #95
80% to 20%.

We're losing our standing.

Aha! So, this is a cold blooded premeditated late night thread highjacking plot!

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.
