Sleep
Oct 29 2008
Coudn't sleep until about 4am last night. Lay in bed from midnight until then thinking 'wtf'. Why does this happen sometimes and how do I fix it?

Don't consume stimulants before going to bed, and if you're not prone to addictive behaviour, a joint can be just the ticket. Or doing a bit of exercise.

What cocktails have you been mostly mixing this season, JK???

I think it might be alcohol or nicotine related - more precisely not consuming either since Saturday for once. Possible?

i has been mostly mixing dr pepper and jägermeister. looks like guiness and is awesome. my flatmate has so far vetoed plans to explore the 'supermalt-as-mixer' avenue...

Quitting smoking can mess up your sleep. I'm a bit of an insomniac but I find that exercise in the day can help you sleep and if you can't sleep after a while, get up, do something and then go back to bed. If it's just a one off then it's probably stress.
Aren't you rich enough to pay for advice.

I have this too sometimes. I hate it, when your mind is going many ways and you have to sleep. You can either try and deal with your anxieties or like Rob Ray said, smoke a joint (and beat off).

wanking wakes me up, you only get sleepy when there's a woman because you have to do so much extra work.

You're going to the doctor because you had trouble sleeping a couple nights?
And you wonder why they won't give you free healthcare?

Nah, seemed different to regular having trouble sleeping. Fuck free healthcare, I has insurance.

Yup, quiting tobacco and/or booze can give you a case of insomnia.

Will I live?

You'll live. You might feel like shit on a stick for a while but you'll live. Although the early stages of alcohol withdrawal always made me feel goofy and energetic.

doing a phd fucks your sleep into all mental types of loser patterns

Mental sleep patterns are one thing, horrible insomnia is another. There are times I choose not to sleep or whatever but thats different to your body and you wanting to be asleep but just lying there.

A roommate of mine took melatonin capsules for his insomnia, worked pretty well for him.
Or you can do what I did--get so horribly horribly addicted to caffeine that you're just incapable of staying awake more than a couple hours without it.

slept well, just made sure i had plenty of iron in my diet yesterday, didnt nap on bus home from work or when I got home. Also, reading simone de beauvoir's bio sent me straight to sleep. nine hours and I'm feeling dandy.

if that's true, and you actually exist, it's illegal. there's a statutory minimum time between the end of your shift and the start of the next one, 11 hours i think. least that was the case a couple of years ago when my ex had a similar situation.

Try not being on the internet for an hour or two before going to bed. Online activity keeps our mind hyper-stimulated. Like techno ADD.
I have not had anything resembling a proper sleeping pattern for about 7 years now, you'll get used to it.
