Insomnia.

You want need sleep, you need Miracle Pill That Stops You Feeling Tired!

Work all day. Party all night. Never sleep. Never care about sleep. It's fun to be an insomniac!

^^
(ps: get me some if you find them)

i want me some of this shit. stet to thread!

I'm on it right now! It's not much cop as an everyday crutch, but when I need to get up early with only a few hours sleep, it's chemical magic.

You can get prescribed Modafinil in the UK now? Can you get over prescribed nudge nudge say no more etc?

I thought about using dodgy overseas dealers but cowardice got the better of me.

My getting up early thing I mentioned on the other thread didn't last. I'm back to staying awake until 3am then dragging my tired arse into work late every day.

dodgy overseas dealers here.

side effects?

I'm def. going to ask my doctor about this.

hi stanM :)

awwww... <3

Hi lurkers! :-)

side effects?
Slightly raised heart rate; bit of an elevated mood; if you're really tired it's bizarro-world time when you're very alert and hyper-aware of exactly how tired you are, yet have no sleep drive. Like knowing you're starving, and being aware of the presence of hunger, without actually being hungry or having any motivation to eat.

whoa i totally don't remember posting to this thread in late june o_O

5am. still awake. have to be up and about by 10:30am to work a double shift, which will probably end around 11pm tonight. not feeling so good about this. stet, magic me over some of teh good shit.

ok, am dimming my computer screen, and listening to soothing sounds of sparklehorse, and lying down....

See to me dimming the screen means "this is starting to really hurt but I want to stay awake and look at it for another hour."

you wouldn't be far wrong there.

i'm not actually sleepy, yet i know i should sleep, but i don't try as hard as i could. it's some kind of mental thing.

Do you sleep better in the day?

no. on my days off, i still wake up after about five hours, but i try to stay in bed for ages, so that even though i'm not sleeping i'm still getting some kind of rest. i'll kinda doze off and on but not sleep properly. i definitely think it's some kind of mental thing that i need to sort out. the thing is, if i try to force myself to go to sleep at midnight, i lie there in the dark feeling more and more anxious.

That's what's good about melantonin -- you can't "think" through it like you can some sleeping pills, it just zonks you. But there's some outside fears that using it too much can fuck up your brain's production of it, so it's not really a daily thing either.

thanks, stet. i'm gonna try to find some today.

Made the mistake of sleeping in until 3pm yesterday. It's now 6.10am and I don't care who knows it. I have shit on all day (including exam invigilation PM) and then I NFL playoffs, which finish at 4am tomorrow UK time.

that exam is going to be heavy going

I wish it'd fuck off, even for just one night :(

I misread this as "anosmia." What a disappointment.

Again...
I wish it'd fuck off, even for just one night :(

take pills

Fell asleep just before 12, have just woken up and i'm wide awake :(
Think i'll watch In Bruges.

Two months now. Can't get to sleep, can't stay asleep, wake up early. Cannot get a single night of sleep unaided. This has never, ever happened to me before. I am completely fucking sick of it and REALLY REALLY close to breakdown point.

What fucks me off most is that I'm ALWAYS tired at bedtime but cannot sleep. Heart goes into overdrive and stays there. I do not know what is causing it. I have tried changing and eliminating everything I can think of. I eat well. I exercise more than most people. I am not suiffering undue work or home stress. I just. cannot. sleep.

Argh!!!!!!
