No sleep.
 
Is there anyone else out there who doesn't sleep? I'm talking like 1-3 hours per night tops. Am I gonna go insane? Am I gonna become enlightened?

been sharing my single bed with a girl the last few nights, haven't been getting much sleep at all! ;) i am most certainly enlightened at the moment!

I am having real difficulties getting to sleep. Are you talking about getting to sleep in the first place, or going to sleep, waking up, and repeating all night?

TIO 11-08-2003 04:25 AM

Eldaire, how long has this been going on?
My guess, based on my experience, is that your health will start to deteriorate very rapidly.
However, some people (very rare) are funny with sleep. They react well to stimulants, in that they can basically take amphetamines but retain the capacity to tell what is good and what is not. The most famous example is the mathematician Erdos, who only slept a couple of hours a night and made a huge contribution to modern maths.

But I'd say it's more likely that you're normal. Sleep is a really necessary thing, and I suggest that if you're getting as little as you say, that you look for triggers...for one thing, no caffeine after 5pm. If you can't think of anything that might be causing your insomnia, or if you get rid of all your stimulants and you still can't sleep, see a doctor.

I have pretty strange sleep habits myself. Every now and then I'll go for a week or more not being able to sleep - and only get two to three hours a night myself. The odd thing is, I have no adverse affects even from prolonged sleep habits like this! In fact, I feel 100% normal during the day even if it's been a couple weeks like that.

It drives my wife nuts though... :D

I used to work night shifts and that fucked up my sleeping paterns for a long time....
couldn't sleep some nights (days)....
Here's a mix you can try (carefully though) two shots of Nyquil and one Nytol (sleeping pill) knocked me out for over 12 hours... had to pee something fierce when I woke up though....

Are you waking up on your own or using an alarm?

A problem for a lot of college students is that they have delayed sleep onset, meaning that the neurochemical changes normally meant to keep people up during the late afternoon and early evening kick in later at night. Hence, they can't fall asleep until early in the morning, but still have to wake up for early classes.

The health effects of this are rather severe, and its not safe to drive a car when you're too sleep deprived.

sleep, hmmm, sounds like an interesting concept... I like it...

YourNeverThere 11-08-2003 04:27 PM

I am an insomniaic, so I dont sleep more than 5 or 6 hours a night, but thats not becuase I'm not tired, becuase i'm tired all the time I just a very serious trouble falling asleep every night. it sucks.

tikki 11-08-2003 06:29 PM

I haven't been able to sleep a full night in all most six months. It's rough, and nothing seems to fix it. :-\

ninety09 11-08-2003 07:40 PM

I didn't get more than 3 hours of sleep per night last week. Usually, I need around 8 hours of sleep to feel good. So now my head hurts and I feel like crap.

mutatrope 11-08-2003 08:49 PM

I often have a terrible time falling asleep. I can only fall asleep really late so I'll get four hours maybe and then one day I'll overlseep and get about twelve hours. It sucks when you can't fall asleep.

Eldaire 11-08-2003 08:55 PM

To TIO:
I am a wrestler and I have been excercising twice a day, so my physical help hasn't been deteriorating. In fact, I've been getting a good deal stronger. I would say my mental health is deteriorating, but that depends on how you measure mental health. I feel happy and calm. I've been writing 10x as much as normal. I've been reading more too. My grades on the other hand, suck to sum it all up in one word. So, maybe I'm wierd or maybe I'm just too stubborn to get my ass in bed. I don't know.

Miranda 11-09-2003 01:02 AM

I - do not sleep. Yes I sleep something like 1-3 hours a night...
It sucks. Then i'm tired for the entire day. But then it's really hard to fall asleep. Then I keep waking up...
It's a viscous cycle.
