I am

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm at work. Friday night overnight shift. The same overnight shift I've been doing FOR OVER A MOTHERFUCKING DECADE OF MY EVIDENTLY DIRECTIONLESS LIFE.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:13 (twenty years ago)

it's a dark and lonely night, alex, but there's a beacon of light at the end of it. ;-)

i get as drunk as i can with freinds, but still end up like this. awake. watching the definately maybe dvd. and talking to you fine folks...

How bad is your insomnia, JD?

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:27 (twenty years ago)

i was asleep but woke up and read a little and ate a dark chocolate bar. i don't qualify as an insomniac. i'm just awake right now because i ate a dark chocolate bar at 11 pm. i cannot fall back asleep. the end.

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:34 (twenty years ago)

i realize you weren't asking me about MY insomnia. but i wanted to tell my tale.

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:35 (twenty years ago)

its pretty damn bad. i think it stems from a drug habit from two years ago, but honestly, i can never sleep unless i take OTC sleep medicine, but that just ruins the next day.

it sucks, you know?

― JD from CDepot, Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:37 (twenty years ago)

i dont know if anyone else is like this, but for me, i don't feel like i ever sleep. I just take naps....just a few hours out, no dreaming, and then im up again. of couse, unless i take sleeping pills, which are such bullshit. i quit doing Oxy/heroin for a reason..............

― JD from CDepot, Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:43 (twenty years ago)

Ah damn. Y'know, it can be good/fun if it's occasional. I love having a walk in the city in the middle of the night.

Actually the best thing seems to be naps: you can stay awake more hours. But of course it's a bit impractical.

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:44 (twenty years ago)

As a last resort, have you considered a sleep clinic? Have heard that these can truly cure insomnia -- they hook you up to a machine and then after you fall asleep wake up about every 20 minutes. Apparently you feel really fuXored after a night of this, but then sleep well afterwards and live happily ever after. Not sure how expensive it is, but it's worth considering if nothing else works.

― salexander / sofia (salexander), Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:45 (twenty years ago)

impractical, exactly. most people you meet will complain about practical people, about how boing they are etc....

to be honest, i wish i was practical! instead im a loon who sleeps only when forced.

Oh, and xxxpost. Alex, you don't seem to have a directionless life. you're terribly smart about music, your posts make me laugh out loud (so much so that i refuse to abreviate it), and you have a beautiful child. im just a twenty something loser/wannabe songwriter who loves impossible girls.

― JD from CDepot, Saturday, 29 October 2005 08:49 (twenty years ago)

You're not a loon!

We had a business acquaintance who slept about 4 hours a night. It was extremely difficult for him to find a driver because they couldn't keep up with him. He looked 120 years old as well.

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Saturday, 29 October 2005 09:06 (twenty years ago)

sorry about your insomnia... wish i had a suggestion for you. i'm sure you've heard them all anyway.

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Saturday, 29 October 2005 09:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm awake too. I'm not convinced this qualifies as insomnia.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 29 October 2005 09:21 (twenty years ago)

thanx for all the help people. there isn't a solution, but drink on you know.... (perhaps thats the real problem)

― JD from CDepot, Saturday, 29 October 2005 09:40 (twenty years ago)

My sleep patterns flopped a couple weeks ago, and now I'm working nights and sleeping days.

What's the best job for an insomniac? Security guard at a library?

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Saturday, 29 October 2005 09:51 (twenty years ago)

Oh fuck I didn't sleep AT ALL last night, no idea why. Now I'm doing a 7 hour work shift and have to go out to dinner later. I'm starting to zone out / hallucinate already and it's only 2.40 pm here.

HELP

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Saturday, 29 October 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

Fall over and get sent home so you can get a couple of hours kip (this won't work if you are going out for dinner with any colleagues, obviously).

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 29 October 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

Self employed and going out w/ my wife, but a good idea anyway.

FOR GODS SAKE KEEP ME OFF EBAY

after a long spell of not being able to sleep till 3 or 4am, I tried some herbal sleeping pills last night. I got to sleep at the same time, then couldn't get up this morning. Oyyyyyy.

― NYC Goatse.cx and Flowers (Merdeyeux), Monday, 28 June 2010 10:37 (sixteen years ago)

i've had this thing for the past week where i've been getting up around 5 a.m., going on the internet for a while, and drifting back to sleep. i am now "on the internet for a while."

― Pies and Whispers (get bent), Monday, 28 June 2010 12:24 (sixteen years ago)

Artificial in my case, last jet lag holdover.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 28 June 2010 12:25 (sixteen years ago)

but you're always up early!

― Pies and Whispers (get bent), Monday, 28 June 2010 12:26 (sixteen years ago)

Not normally at 4 am.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 28 June 2010 12:26 (sixteen years ago)

whenever i'm on early in the morning, it's basically you and the brits.

― Pies and Whispers (get bent), Monday, 28 June 2010 12:27 (sixteen years ago)

We're just doing the secret work controlling the ILX Hivemind before America wakes up and wonders what's going on.

Reprogramming the USA, one cerebral cortex at a time...

Get Bent, are you on the East Coast? I'd always pegged Ned's alleged early morning posts to the time-zone differences.

― When we was in the shower, your buttcheeks was warm (Eisbaer), Monday, 28 June 2010 13:03 (sixteen years ago)

come and talk about football you moaners

― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Monday, 28 June 2010 13:05 (sixteen years ago)

eis, i'm west coast these days. i attribute ned's early morning posts to the fact that he wakes up really fucking early.

darragh, i'm not much of a commentator on that stuff; i just watch the games and go "yay" or "boo."

― Pies and Whispers (get bent), Monday, 28 June 2010 16:50 (sixteen years ago)

how's your prose? that's rly where it's at these days with the football threads

― ,,,,,,eeeeleon (darraghmac), Monday, 28 June 2010 17:31 (sixteen years ago)

Slept 2-6 this morning but instead of just dicking around online as I'd usually do I got up. I was dressed and had been to the grocery store and back by 8:30 a.m. Slept again from 10:15 - 12:00. Really I just need to go to bed earlier but I get a 2nd wind around 10 pm every night. :(
