Title: Insomnia's a bitch
Post by: Groogrux on February 27, 2011, 07:20:41 AM: At least coffee is on my team. She's gonna get me through the next... 24 hours. If I'm lucky, I'll catch a cat nap sometime today while we're out.

Post by: Powerslave on February 27, 2011, 03:08:37 PM: I don't know if it's insomnia but I really hate the act of 'going to bed/sleep' because I can't fall asleep unless I'm dead tired.

I have that. And it's now 10am on Monday morning, I'm at my desk at work and I'm so tired that I'm wishing I was dead :(

Post by: Groogrux on February 27, 2011, 06:32:41 PM: I spent most of last night with my eyes closed, tossing in the bed, and hoping I would drift off to sleep.

I bought Tylenol PM today! Fuck you, non-sleepy Andy!

Too bad I don't get to take it until in the morning when I get off work... :(

Same. I usually only sleep 8 though. Life's a bitch.
Title: Re: Insomnia's a bitch
Post by: Groogrux on February 28, 2011, 10:54:13 PM: For the first time in the last 4 days, I slept a whole 8 hours. Granted, it took me being up for nearly 36 hours to get there.

Post by: Powerslave on March 01, 2011, 12:17:24 AM: That's a bit pushing it. Mine's around 20 hours. It's probably because we aren't that active during the day. I've had periods where I worked fulltime and went to the gym in the evenings. That made me a little more prone to go to bed. I just really don't like to go to bed, I rather stay up a few more hours to get my internet/entertainment fix, even if I'm really sleepy.

I know that feeling. When I'm home for a few days, I normally sleep less just because I'm more inactive.

Post by: Dickie Dee on March 01, 2011, 09:37:11 AM: I imagine there's a pretty strong correlation between insomnia and internet forum usage.

I'd blow Willco for a proper Circadian Rhythm.

Title: Re: Insomnia's a bitch
Post by: drew on March 01, 2011, 11:54:39 AM: i bust my ass bussing tables at a restaurant, which involves literally walking around in circles around the entire place on top of dress shoes for at least four hours a night, carrying heavy ass fucking trays with dishes from parties of 20+ people, and busting your ass in the back so the waitresses don't get mad at you. it usually doesn't hit me until i get out of the car after driving home - but when it does all i can do for the rest of the night is put on some slippers and watch tv

Hey man, I waited tables and bussed them for years when I was younger. My wife waits tables now while she's in her management training. It's hard work.

Post by: Mupepe on March 01, 2011, 05:35:47 PM: Usually everyone has worked a shit job at some point. It doesn't mean you're any harder of a worker if you're still doing it in your mid to late 20's though. It means you suck at advancing your skills.

I worked on a roofing crew for two summers while in college. I had a lot of fun, but that was some hard work.

Really makes me appreciate my education and profession.

And I've cleaned a table. What's your point.

I'm going to dock you a yard for forming even a rhetorical question with a period instead of a question mark but, in all other aspects, this is a flawless victory.
