Sleep

[KittywifaMohawk]

Sleep. We all need it, but who here gets all of it that we need? Some of us may be insomniacs, we don't know. Personally, I think I am. I barely get any sleep at all, and when I try to sleep, it's hard as hell for me to get to sleep. I've been up since 4 in the morning(it's now 10 in the morning). I just can't seem to fall asleep.

So my fellow Escapians, who here also has trouble sleeping? If you do, what do you do to get to sleep?
And if you just can't fall asleep, what do you do to keep yourself amused?
Oh and, what is the longest amount of time you've stayed up without sleep, and why?(Mines probably about 50 because it was the end of the school year and 2 of my friends had their parties back to back).

Well, its 7:12 right now, and I have yet to go to sleep...

I sleep too much, mostly. So yes, I get all the sleep I need, and then some.

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

not so much getting to sleep but I toss and turn around alot when I sleep. Whats going on there? And how come my back feels weird when I wake up?

 

[Skeleon]

I usually get a good handful of sleep, 6-8 hours.
The longest I've gone without sleep was 48 hours because of a LAN party.
I actually fell asleep on my keyboard after I had come home and set up my computer.

 

[Blackadder51]

i barely sleep, i find it hard to get to sleep

I tend to stay awake until around 7AM (my body defaults to that being my bed time, for some reason), even if I've been awake since 9AM.

I need lots of sleep though. At least 6-8 hours to feel okay for the day. A usual day for me is awake at about 11AM/12PM, awake until 5/6/7AM, sleep until 11AM/12PM.

I did used to work nights, though...

 

[Matronadena]

back in my youth three, four days without it was...actually pretty common.

These days I just can't pull it off, however I still consider myself lucky to get more that 4 hours a day.

Sleep is for fags that can't pwn CoD at 5AM.

I don't sleep.

This!! Nazi Zombies at 6AM

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

I get all my sleep but I have this problem where I can't sleep when I'm supposed to. For the past several nights I've been going to sleep at about 3 in the morning and waking up at 2 pm. Its not that big a deal right now that its Summer but during school its hard.

 

[AkJay]

I do stay awake for the whole nights sometimes, other times i will wake up at 4 in the morning, and never seem to fall back asleep... i am so tired.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

My body craves for sleep, but I don't give in. The reason is, that if my body was to decide how much I should sleep, I would be sleeping 20 hours a day. Plus sleep is boooring!

 

[sky14kemea]

i just stayed up around 30 hours in a row, then slept for 8 ^-^

i love to sleep, but i cant sleep at night very well... >_>

 

[Strategia]

I generally go to sleep some time between 3AM and 5AM these days, last night I couldn't fall asleep at all unfortunately. Usually I wake up around 11-14, and I take an hour or so to wake up enough to crawl out of bed.

 

[CMon]

I love sleeping, but for some reason I keep being destructive and ignoring my urge to do so.

 

[DrDeath3191]

I like to sleep. I usually sleep for 7-8 hours, but never more than that. I love to sleep, but I hate to sleep in, if that makes any sort of sense.

 

[Ushario]

I enjoy a good nights sleep. I don't always get it though...

For anyone that thinks they have insomnia.
If you aren't sure then you don't have it. Insomniacs stay awake for days and weeks at a time.
From what I understand it actually really sucks.

 

[Kinguendo]

I have trouble sleeping too, to sort it I take sleeping pills which is actually the most extreme of your options... well, except a hammer.

I visit this fine site to keep me entertained or I play 360 games with Americans as they are a few hours behind and such.

Hmm, I had 14 hours sleep over 2 weeks. In that 2 weeks I must have stayed up 3 days consecutively, me and my step-brother where having a competition to see who could sleep the least over 2 weeks.

 

[AngloDoom]

Usually, I get a good seven hours sleep, and three/four meals a day, depending on how I feel, with frequent snacking. Rawr! Trying to gain my weight!

My sleeping habits as of recently, however, are quite erratic, as well as my eating. I have the odd day where I don't sleep or can't bring myself eat. Also, I'm having a lot more dreams when I sleep in recent times, and then I find it hard to get out of bed.

In all honesty, I think the horror of my Red Ring o' Death'd-Box just hit me.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

I do struggle to get to sleep but when I do go to sleep I sleep like a brick.
