I have insomnia, and I HATE IT. How can you choose to stay up that late (My insomnia is not bad, but usually am only able to sleep around 4-5 hours per night. It Sucks during the school year when I have to wake up at 5:30, and I don't fall asleep until 3:00

During the school year I go to bed at 11:30 or 12 and wake up at 6.

During the summer, I go to bed around 4 or 4:30 and wake up anywhere between 10 AM and 3:30 PM.

[RedsoxRockies]

I don't sleep normally anymore... I haven't for probably a year and a half. The week before I started the 10th grade, I stayed up for seven days straight. I got very sick as a result of it. Now in my "old age", my max is two days straight, and even that's a challenge. Anyway, when you work for yourself and have assignments where you don't have to go to an office at 7 AM, it's easier to do that. Usually I'm up all night, and if I have something planned for the next day, I'll stay up all day as well. I've found the power of the NAP! When my body gets tired, I take a nap. I take two or three naps for 2 to 3 hours a day, and I've never felt better. But obviously on some of your more "normal" schedules, you can't do that, even though some of you probably do sleep through your classes.

I miss sleeping in class. I used to all last year. This year, I have 3 computer classes, so I just distract myself by surfing the web. And my other two classes...music is sometimes interesting, although the music we were listening to the other day did put me to sleep...and theology, I wish I could fall asleep in, but I drink a coffee before it. That didn't work for my literature class last semester, but it works for theology.

Hey,Guys, mebbe I should go back to school to ease my insomnia...

Seriously, here's a tip that may work for you, too...

I often come over sleepy whilst at the computer (I read, somewhere, that 40% of our energy is expended in "seeing" stuff), I give in to the urge, grudgingly, - like most gamers, I suppose, there's never enough time for my addiction - but I lose the minimum of time, by just relaxing at my post, closing my eyes, and following a rational train of thought, until, suddenly, an absolutely incongruous idea or image pops into my head, out of left field.

This means that I've started dreaming, which means that I've been sleeping, which means that my batteries are recharged for a while...most of my cat-naps last no more than 15 minutes, I'd say that 5 is the norm' As soon as my thoughts go haywire, I know that I can return to work, refreshed

True, if I've had a particularly sleepless night, I have to take several of such naps during the day, and if I've eaten, beforehand, the naps can last up to an hour, but all in all, the "Halt until you hallucinate" method of napping is a great time-saver for us sleepyheads.

I love that term! Good one... I'm going to "borrow" it and credit the all-wise Rongar for coming up with it.

This is one for a psychologist's case book...a guy who hallucinates
is "all-wise"?...

Seriously, Bingle, I hope that this method works for you, and others.
