It's 3:00 a.m., do you know where your sleep is?

…'cause I can’t find mine. I’ve had insomnia all this week and I know it’s from work stress (I work at a University and we’re preparing for when the 5,000 new students get dumped on us on Monday).

I was a walking zombie all day yesterday and I thought, “I’m gonna sleep well tonight!”

Yeah, right - hit the sack at 11:30, woke up just after 2. Can’t get back to sleep. At least here I can do something while not sleeping.

Good times, good times.

You have insomnia too, eh? I’ve been awake for the past three days. Swell.

I love insomniacs.

You’re the only folks still awake when I get online. :wink:

(It’s 10 p.m. here now)

I’m at work.

Doing a system upgrade.

That isn’t working.

I’m going to have to try this again in the near future.

Damn.

Ah insomnia, I know you too well. I’ve struggled with it for as long as I can remember, however it has been better as of late. However, that means when it hits, it isn’t something I’m used to, but rather something slightly unfamiliar and therefore concerning. I had it the night before last, finding it near impossible to sleep and then waking up every hour with threads of unsettling dreams clogging my mind.

Hope you find some relief.

Hi,** AFG**, nice to see you here at this hour! Welcome, welcome.

It’s only 1:18am here now, but I’ll be up until the wee hours. Probably here or surfing around. Or housecleaning a little bit. I get the bulk of my chores done in the middle of the night.

Incidentally, the past couple of nights I’ve been sleeping, so there must be some shit in the cosmic balance, or something. I’m back on my normal night-owl schedule, now, though. Always good to have company. :smiley:

You know, I meant “shift”. I really did.

Uh huh. And panic really did ensue, too. :stuck_out_tongue:

Now there’s the upside of being zombified - the exhaustion-induced mistakes that make for good laughs. :smiley:

i’m prone to insomnia too … gotta make sure i get internet set up when i get back home so i’ll have company. :slight_smile:

You should’ve seen the* size * of it!

Oh. You said panic. Carry on.

Damn cat. Look at this shit. This is her about 5 minutes ago. Sleeping. I think she’s doing it to spite me.

I think I’m going to go try to pass out again…hope you other insomniacs can get some sleep as well…

That’s a cat?! I would have sworn it was a pillow.

I miss Rat Bastard and The Queen …

You don’t even wanna know the way I misread that thread title…

BWAHAHAHAHA!

You don’t even have to say it. :smiley:

Yeah, all lumped up. I think that was part of the mocking. “Oh, look, don’t I look like a nice, soft pillow? That you could sleep on? Yeah.” :smiley:

Well, I did manage to get a couple more hours of fitful sleep. Better than nothing.

A tip a friend gave me which has worked is to get up and do something quiet like read a book - or the SDMB :smiley: - because you’re trying too hard to get to sleep.
