Sleep deprivation

[Bright Banana Beard]

I have it oftern. Fuck you guys.

[Tyrlop]

haha, i love sleep, but i never had a sleep depresion

[Holden Caulfield]

Its all about routines baby. Get up about 9ish, try to get to bed about 12 and you will be sorted, plus don't drink caffine before bed.

If you wake up late, or stay up late, then it will knock on and ruin your sleeping patterns.

Every summer vacation I swap day and night, and usually have to pull a marathon of caffeinated beverages and hiding from my bed to set things right. During the semester, I tend to get only 4-5 hours of sleep before waking up for an 8am class. I've hallucinated, and have even come close to car accidents thanks to sleep deprivation (but nowadays I try to be more careful). The result of my sleepless shenanigans are that I perpetually have dark circles under my eyes. It's no fun :crying:

[Pirate Utopian]

If I sleep really great one night, I have a hard time falling asleep the next night.

Which means I am so tired if I have to wake up early for school, I usually just crash somewhere in the week.

I sleep well most of the time, but a few times a month I intentionally practice sleep deprivation to train my body. For example, I'll pull an all nighter without sleep, then I'll go to the gym, then I'll run for a bit, then to the shooting range afterwards.

You've been to the gym after an all nighter? Wouldn't that be rather dangerous?

During holidays I sleep from three am till twelfe am, that's enough.
But when there is school, I'm running on nerves and Mate...I'm just a night being, I can think clearer...and sleep deprivation might not be healthy, but it trains your brain and body.

[Il Medico]

I'll have time to sleep when I'm dead.

[spiltteeth]

If I don't get 18 hrs of sleep I'm useless the other 6.

You sleep 21 hours a day? I thought I was a slob!

[RedRise]

I wake up at seven to get to school and usually end up going to bed around eleven.:blushing: On top of that I find it really hard to go to sleep even if I'm tired (and I don't drink coffee and rarely have soft drinks) so I'm usually a zombie during the week. Then I sleep till twelve on the weekend.:blushing::blushing:

"Fatigue is the best pillow" - Benjamin Franklin

If you have problems sleeping you should do some excersize during the day before you go to bed. More often than not people with insomnia are people who spend much of the day in front of a computer or doing deskwork.

I get up at 5:30am, go on a 30 minute jog and eat a good breakfast and I have never had sleeping problems.

[Trystan]

I have huge problems with it. And once you get going, you get spacey and stimilated for some reason . . . So it's difficult to get to sleep even after 24 of no sleep at all.

[proudcomrade]

I have it today. I normally get 7 hours of sleep, but in the daytime, because I got nocturnal over a period of years that went college, unemployment, night job, unemployment, night job, unemployment. Well, lately, I had been getting tired of the night hours, because it makes getting anything done difficult; also, I am a big outdoorsy person who likes hard yardwork, hikes and fishing. For this reason, I have been trying to revert back to days; but it is really hard after years spent nocturnal. Today, I got up several hours earlier, depriving myself of a couple hours' worth of sleep, and I am already feeling like a cadaver. The coffee that I made myself was absolutely no help whatsoever.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be easier.

[Jazzratt]

I get between 8 and 12 hours on average.

[proudcomrade]

Today has turned out easier- up at high noon after a good night's sleep. I will probably try for 10 or 11AM tomorrow if I can manage to get to sleep again tonight.

[Skramz]

I sleep for a few hours every 3-4 days most the time. Sometimes the days will decrease/increase depending on what's going on at the time.

yay for chronic insomnia!

[Angry Young Man]

I have to be up in 4 hours time and I'm not sleepy at all. Maybe living at Stokes Croft next year is a bad idea :(

I fail at sleeping. I don't know if it is insomnia or if I'm just a "night person" or what, but I utterly fail. I am tired the entire day at work, then, around 7 or so in the evening, I get my first burst of energy. I probably average an hour and a half of sleep per night, and some nights I don't sleep at all. I was just explaining this exact thing to Yehuda this morning. A lot of times, I convince myself that if I don't sleep at all for one night, I will be extra tired and go to sleep at a good, early time the next night; never works out that way. In fact, when I go two days without sleeping, I stop even noticing that I'm tired at all, so it completely backfires. I'm like a crack addict without the crack. Or something. :lol:

Go see a doctor, seriously. Oh! Check your diet too.

Hour 15 of being awake. Spent a while on wikipedia pages that wouldn't interest me in steady mind. Recently thinking that if I was cast into the deep forest, my first reaction to skinning a rabbit would be weeping 'Thumper!' Running out of tabs. In a piss about not really being able to get to sleep because I've a lecture in 4 hours. Pummelled my housemates into the ground on COD4 earlier, but the belt gets no special privileges. Pondering Api's grammatical error in his sig

^You lie; My grammar is impeccable!

[Angry Young Man]

oh shit I missed a bit. My fault.

Hour 17: Feeling very dozy. I don't know if I can take much more of this consciousness. Must remember Frida Kahlo talking to Trotsky on Tenochtitlan, about how the human body can endure much more than it thinks it can. Not helping that I'm in my pj's and under my duvet. Everything feels a divine comfort. Should get to fridge for cola, but it was finished, and nobody else drinks coffee

Doctors just write prescriptions for Ambien or Trazadone or tell you to take Benedryl, none of which have been at all helpful. The problem really is probably caffeine, and I drink it throughout the day (and night). I hate coming home from work and feeling like my whole day was wasted there, so I make a pot of coffee, and stay up. I have no intention of stopping, either.:lol:

[proudcomrade]

I have finally gotten half-normal hours again- 4AM-noon yesterday; 2:00AM-11AM today, but I did wake up in the middle of the night for a little while. This beats the hell out of being totally nocturnal- at this point, it's a start, and I can go out and get some stuff done today. Bonus: sunny weather out there today.
