How many of you?
 

Are in a stsate of insomnia right now?

I'm assuming you're not talking to us Aussies, 'cos it's 7.40pm on Saturday night here right now....

Not me. I went to bed at 11 and woke up at 5:30. :D

I am. My sleep schedule is so bad. It's 7 in the morning here and I haven't slept all night. Since I have to be somewhere within a few hours, I'm thinking I'll just stay up and walk around like a zombie all day.

I do that sometimes to try to get my sleep schedule back on track. If I'm up all night, I'll just stay up till 9PM the next day and get a good night's sleep that night.

Sleep like a rock. They tell me that it's from good clean living. ;) I like to think it's because I have an ultra clean conscience. hahaha....

Probably a little of both, Kjroh. :)

Does being on mushroom and weed count for insomnia? :P

No insomnia. It's midnight, and I just woke up.

It's 12:17 right now in Florida but to me the night just begun.

I haven't had a solid sleep in weeks. Dammit.

It's almost 1am - -and i'm not even remotely sleepy....
I'll be up for a few more hours.

I partied with friends until about 2am, then went to bed around 3:30. Woke up at 6 to get to a 2 hour 7am meeting, then went straight to karate class. came home and showered, then went back to work for a 6 hour shift.

I'm here, I'm tired... and I should be sleeping.

Remember how I was up at 7 am on the 10th and I hadn't slept all night? Well now it's 1:40 am on the 11th and I still haven't slept. All I had to drink all day was 2-3 bottles of water (no caffiene). I've been busy all day, I've walked at least two miles....and I only consumed about 1300 calories today. I have no idea how the hell I'm still awake. Where is this energy coming from? Why can't I sleep?!

Im in a state of insomnia all the damn time.

I wouldn't say I'm always in a state of insomnia, but I rarely get good solid sleep. Many weeks three hours is a good night for me, and I'm often exhausted. But there's just too much to do to waste time sleeping! :p

This is probably an odd question to people who've never had insomnia. When I was a kid, I thought that people who had insomnia just weren't sleepy... and then I learned my lesson all through my sophomore year of college. It's on the order of simultaneously feeling nauseous and hungry.

Are you in college, Zoom? I find that to be very conducive to sleeping disorders.

I consider myself to be a nocturnal person.

I've been pulling insomnia duty fairly often recently. And yes, I am in college, though i've been staying up late since 9th grade. Just now dispite how late i stay up, i still can't fall aleep when i try to, fun stuff.

The fight club quote works quite well "when you have insomnia, you're never really asleep, and you're never really awake." Maybe I should start taking benedryl or nyquil gelcaps to fall asleep like I used to do on occasion...

Ah yes, and the other down side of not being able to sleep at night, I end up with some mega naps during the afternoon that are hard as hell to avoid and fight through. 'Vicious cycle' sorts of things.

not I

Divorce is a bitch -- insomnia since February, now a part of life

its a vicious cycle... stay up til 5am, sleep til 2pm.. rinse and repeat. the only way i am ever able to get out of that cycle is when i have a job. now i sleep at 2am wake up at 730am, rinse repeat. not much better but at least i have a whole day ahead of me. maybe you need to find something that forces you to wake up early so your body will soon adjust to the new schedule

i think everyone has an innate internal clock. hence, some people are early birds, others are night owls.

the thing is the world is on the early bird clock.
so us night owls hafta get up early to catch the worm same as the early bird. without as much sleep.

i remember not being able to sleep when i was in high school.
in the quiet hours of the night, i'd be sitting at the kitchen table looking at the newspaper or the sears catalog at 3am & my mom would walk in & ask what hell are you doing up? you have school in a fews hours!!
i'd shrug & answer, "i couldn't sleep."

if the head don't shut off, forget sleeping.
vice versa, once the head wakes up, forget sleeping. just get up.

I used to be a nightowl, but never an insomniac. I'm trying to reform my night owl ways and become an early bird. It's just so damn hard though!!

Mmmm... i <3 sleep!

Since summer started, i've been working till midnight almost everyday, and staying up till at least 5, waking up at 4ish the next day and going to work.

4:18AM and I am sitting here and listening to "Kill You" by Eminem and browsing Wikipedia.

I almost never go to bed until 2 am. Time for bed now.
