Can wrist braces help with insomnia?

[franznietzsche]

Minutes, or hours?

 

[honestrosewater]

You both falsely assumed I was going to bed. I win.

 

[franznietzsche]

Meh, this insomnia thread almost made it too 100 posts, that's 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?

 

[Smurf]

I don't know man i got school tomorrow.

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

 

[Smurf]

Well we have to start somewhere don't we? You don't expect me to take over the world over night, we're starting with internet threads and working our way up.

 

[franznietzsche]

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.

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.

Moobear, do you know if anyone is trying to find a way to get all the benefits of sleep (whatever they may be) while still staying conscious?

Hypnotic sleep is supposed to work just as well in only 1/10th the time.

 

[honestrosewater]

Do you remember your sources?

 

[franznietzsche]

Do you remember your sources?

Every stage hypnotist I've ever seen has said that. I have no idea if its true. The people i know who have been hypnotized say that it works very well.

11:55 PM, dum de dum dum.

 

[franznietzsche]

Midnight. We currently out number the "sleep-o-philes" by 8 to 1. That should be sufficient to initiate the next phase of the plan.

If only you knew that my Evil Genius score was 82%.

Oh...

 

[honestrosewater]

If only you knew that my Evil Genius score was 82%.

Oh...

Great, now I have to go take the stupid Evil Genius test...

 

[honestrosewater]

What? 82%?! Obviously the author of this test could not comprehend the true evilness of my answers.

 

[Smurf]

HA! 87%

That means I'm the top Evil Genius!

 

[franznietzsche]

HA! 87%

Top Evil, but not top Genius.

Right, now that we've established I am the leader of our evil organization, time to establish a chain of command.

Franz you will be in charge of building the secret underground hollowed-out volcanoe on a deserted island of indescriminate location.

honestrosewater, contact our subordinates in the white house and find the nuclear launch codes.

Moonbear, Get me my coffee.

You forgot the subtle machiavellian manipulation of the foolish masses to put our lackeys into the the world governments. We need to control: Presidency of USA, PM of Britain, Cuba, Russia, and France, just so their government can't impotently complain about our takeover, cause we control it.

I'll call Carl Rove, that should do the trick.
