Shane Falco Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ya, so who's up right now and why? I have a cold, and normally that would make me want to sleep but I'm wide awake. Editing pictures and the tube are currently keeping me occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreaseCrusader91 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Wish I could sleep. I think it is because I leave for school next week and I want to savor the rest of summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Falco Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Wish I could sleep. I think it is because I leave for school next week and I want to savor the rest of summer. I know the feeling. I tend to do that when the day itself feels too short. Although by doing so I shorten the following day so it really doesn't accomplish much does it :D ? Watching 24 right now. It's a really good show. I never got into that show despite it's popularity. By the time I considered it, it was like 2 seasons in. Didn't bother.

Drew a Penalty Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ya don't say? ;) I'm only on season 5. I'm really liking it. I really disliked season 4 besides a few storylines and several characters like Chloe and Edgar. Season 5 is far more engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I considered it, it was like 2 seasons in. Didn't bother. Never too late to start watching it. I was four when the first season aired, I never watched it while it ran just because I never watched it from the start and it didn't seem interesting to me until now. I'm also 15 now and the show aired from when I was 4 to 13. Not exactly great ages to be able to watch and comprehend the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 As of late, this whole summer, I've been sleeping so fucking early because of work. Usually playing video games keeps me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have trouble falling asleep myself. Usually get to bed around 2AM, even if I try closer to midnight or even earlier. I'll just toss and turn for hours.

Dave Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 All good. I have trouble falling asleep myself. Usually get to bed around 2AM, even if I try closer to midnight or even earlier. I'll just toss and turn for hours. Had this problem for years. What I've found that works for me is to read a book with insufficient light. Can usually fall asleep within 15-30 minutes that way.

josh Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I have cyclical insomnia... if that's an actual thing. I'll have weeks/months in a row where I sleep anywhere from 1 - 3 hours in a night, max. Then I'll be fine for some time. Then back on the cycle. I got nothing for cause or what helps sleeping. The worst part is being frustrated about knowing you need sleep and thinking you'll never get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just toss and turn for hours. That is usually my problem. It tends to happen most if I'm overstimulated before going to bed. I found the only thing that works is getting a good workout in and giving myself at least an hour of "down time" before bed. Usually reading a book, anything calming of that nature helps a lot. Anything to do with looking at a screen will keep me up. Had this problem for years. What I've found that works for me is to read a book with insufficient light.

You are always supposed to be reading, watching tv, etc with sufficient light. It will strain your eyes a bit, and for some, it makes them tired very quickly. I find a very slow and boring book to be the best. But my boredom kicks in and I watch tv. When I can't sleep, I always put on shows I'm not interested in watching (Family Guy) or movies I've seen a hundred times (Happy Gilmore and Zombieland, right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally watch tv late unless I'm really bored. When it comes to trying to sleep though it's counter productive because it tends to keep me awake. I have to be flat out exhausted to pass out with the TV on. I'm one of those people that needs complete darkness to be able to pass out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High and Wide Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 What kind of mattress is it? I am due for a new one very soon. Sealy Posturepedic Firm. I typically sleep on my stomach.

I can't fall asleep without the TV on. I'm the exact same way. My wife hated me for it at first and now she can't fall asleep without it on as well lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
