Are You An Insomniac?

[Advent Ech0]

Tonight's gonna be another sleepless night for me. It got me thinking, "How many Escapists are insomniacs?"

So what, if any, experiences have you had with insomnia? What do you feel like when you're awake? How do you try to get back to sleep(if you do try)?

Reading sometimes works for me, playing guitar helps as well. If neither of these work then I give up, plop down in front of the TV/Computer, pop open a box of good ole Cap'n Crunch and wait for the sun to rise.

EDIT: Meant to put a poll up, but I'm new here and the checkbox outwitted me.

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

Yes, and about all i can do is try not to go insane, and wait to fall back asleep

 

[GreyWolf257]

I'm an insomniac. If I need to sleep, I usually try daydreaming. After a while, daydreaming seems to feel like you are really dreaming, so it helps me feel a tad bit rested the next day.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Not really. But Insomniac games is a great developer.

 

[internetzealot1]

I either have slight Insomnia or my internal clock is screwed up.

 

[MellowFellow]

I am not an insomniac, in fact I can almost fall asleep anywhere whenever I want to. Whenever I have had to fly anywhere I like to fall asleep before the plane takes off.

Yep, I am officially an insomniac. I've even got a prescription for it (which I never take)

 

[soapyshooter]

well its 11:09 pm and i have work at 6:30 am. I think that answers your question

 

[OUTgunned]

Sort of a insomniac. Getting into bed causes me to start feeling anxious about things. I normally just give up on sleeping if I have not fallen asleep after an hour or so and get up.

 

[Hiphophippo]

Sure, but not by choice.

I'm the father of an 8 month old little girl you see.

 

[Rainbowloid]

On a really good night, it takes me about an hour and a half to fall asleep. For the most part, I just try to keep doing things (reading, movies, video games, etc.) until my body ceases to function. There's no way I'll get to sleep otherwise.

 

[Generator]

Not really. But Insomniac games is a great developer.

Ninja'd?! And here I thought I was being so clever.

OT: Not really. I mean, it's hard for me to get to sleep, but once I do, I'm pretty much unwakeable.

 

[JeanLuc761]

I'm having a bout of insomnia right now actually. I didn't sleep at all last night yet was able to function extremely well today. I'm still wide awake and being productive.

I generally don't mind my insomnia because I'm capable of getting shit done without being severely punished the next day.

 

[Glassesguy904]

I stay up until about One AM every night, and wake up around 5. I'm used to being an insomniac. I have been since I was 13.

 

[Aerodynamic]

Yep, it's 4 AM, and I can't sleep. This place isn't helping.

I spent an entire year of sporadic sleep when I was 15. Damn near drove me insane.

Yeah, I think im going through this. At times can sleep like a baby, other times, I spend the entire night turning around the bed trying to sleep.

 

[Plurralbles]

Nope. I have to wake up at 6 and do a workload of some sort all day until 1am so when I hit hte pillow, I hit the pillow. And I'm tired by then. Not really a choice in the matter or something physical keeping me up.

 

[Acier]

No, I love sleep much too much and fall asleep when I want to stay awake.

SoI guess I'm the opposite really

 

[Enzeru92]

I sleep only 4 to 3 hours but its sleep >_> but most of the time I try to wake myself up in the morning because I start daydreaming and start believing in what am dreaming until I realize am awake its really fun honest!

 

[SeanTheSheep]

I don't sleep mostly.
I try to, but usually I go to bed at 11PM-1AM, and get to sleep at about 3.
Occasionally like today though, I stay up for a long while.
