Insomnia

[quiet_samurai]

yeah, some nights i like to just sit up and shoot hero.... sorry. sometimes when im tired i think I am kurt Kobain.

That made me laugh.


OT: I have had insomnia since I was about ten years old. It comes and goes, at least once a month I will go a couple days without sleep and then crash hard. The last time I voluntarily stayed up for an insane amount of time was when I got Saints Row 2.... I played for about 12 hours straight after I first popped it in the Xbox. I also stayed up for over 48 hours straight in Vegas... but that was with the help of lots of external and internal stimulus.

Stayed up all night playing GTA4 and CoD:WaW at my friends place once.

When ever I can't get to sleep I do press-ups until my arms are too heavy. That works for me.

Bring your stories of sleepless nights hither. I'll be here until morning.

Stayed up for almost three days, freaked out cause I thought I saw something that wasn't even there. Was forced to go to sleep by my roomates.(apperantly they don't like the Idea of a crazy, sleep deprived Irishman walking around the house)

I totally know what you mean. I'm starting to hallucinate from my 2 days without sleep.

Couple of all-nighter parties. Used to have a bit of Insomnia. That's about it. Longest I've stayed up for maybe 40+ hours. Not long by the standards of many of my fellow escapists, but I wasn't really trying. I enjoy my sleep and unless I have a bloody good reason I'm gonna get it.

I do find that simply not going to sleep after a long night on the piss does prevent hang-overs. Don't know if that works for anybody else or if its just me.

My sophomore year of highschool was the worse, I suffered from chronic Insomnia since 8Th grade and on but that year was hands down the worse. I would stay up forever, tossing and turning thinking about random things, going over situations over and over again, weighing out pros and cons of decisions to be made the next day (asking a girl out etc) my mind would just wander forever. I felt like my thoughts were too loud and I had to drown them out with either Nyquil or my ipod. This basically continued untill now, my Junior year where I usually fall alseep much more faster.

I've also stayed up late/ all night on account of video games but I thought this thread was just about Insomnia in general
