Insomnia.

[tiedye]

How I love this odd relationship that has forged between us.

[tiedye]

Day 3. This is where it gets interesting. Usually I'll crash hard for a good 12 hours sometime within the next 16 hours but I think I might push it that extra day. Is it wrong that my sleeping disorder has sparked a fascination with sleep dep?

Whom else has insomnia on this board?

[esoter1c]

Last night I went to BK @ 9 and drank a large coke not thinking about the caffeine.

So yeah, it's 6am and I feel like I'm on a dub of cid.

Best part is I actually have a ton of shit to do today because I was sick for the last week and haven't done sweet fuck all.

Caffeine induced insomnia auditory hallucinations making me think nelson muntz is outside doin his "HA HA" laugh @ me but it's those stupid lil' fucking birds.

I'm gettin' some ambien today, fuck this shit.

I have it once and a while, where I will go a couple weeks without sleeping, and I will be irritable and tired. But I just try and make myself tired during the day, work out, gym, take overtime and then come home and crash and it seems to work for me.

I seem to pull 3+ days without sleeping every so often. I think the sleep dep thing is crazy. There are a lot of musicians that talk about it and how it can relate to making money ?? The weird thing is I made the most money "freelancing" the week that I stayed up for like 6 days. Who knows.

All I know, is it often feels like Im going crazy and connecting with other dimensions n' stuff. Whether it's true or not is debatable.

If you were up for weeks upon end, you would end up institutionalized because you would have no grasp of reality. I start hallucinating after about 5 days and on day 6 I take sleeping pills because I can't function. I can't see you going that long without hitting R.E.M. a few times.

I'm a musician myself and I definitely love jamming around day 4. Day 5 and I start to get too weak to really do much.

As for the other dimensions... it's very possible. Look into solitary isolation and sleep deprivation. There have been a lot of studies about the two and it's fascinating. Also, watch Altered States simply because it just came to mind.

World of warcraft. 5 days. Dexadrine. Dextromethorphan. Ritalin. best spring break ever.

[tiedye]

I'm happy to say I can't sit on WoW for more than maybe 10hours tops and that's only if I'm hungover or sketched out.

[tiedye]

Oh, and <3 dexadrine.

there was a time where i would piggyback them for days.

hmmmmm

[tiedye]

I can pop 8-10 of them at once and not get a rush at all. All they do to me is either take off the drowsy feeling if I'm chilling out or if I'm working they keep me from standing around. Last time I popped 12 at work I ended up bleaching every single glass I had on my racks and cleaning out the keg line because it was slow.

[Phrenetic]

i used to get them for 5 bucks a bottle of 30ish. now im tempted to "diagnose" myself and get some with an Rx.

i remember one time i was chillin' on them then i heard something in the kitchen, and i spend 4 hours trying to find out what it was....

Yeah I tend to believe it. Feels like I'm communicating with other entities 3rd eye sometimes after a couple days. It actually gets downright scary occasionally if the supposed being has really strong energy.

Im on a bit of a binge right now actually haha, cept with a couple power naps mixed in there. I find if you jsut crash for a couple hours here n' there, you can still maintain the trip.

is altered states a movie or what?

[tiedye]

Yeah, it's a movie about experimenting with DMT in solitary isolation. Very sci-fi but very interesting. It's from the early 80s, I believe.

[BongMan]

Buy better beds I never seem to have a sleeping problem it is just the waking up part..

[anewlife]

4 am soon. This sucks.

[Guineveire]

The most I didn't sleep was 3 days.
The third day was bad. I was hearing and seeing things when I was at the beach.
Then I slept for 15 hours. Good times.

^ Go for runs on a daily basis, work out.. blaze.. meditate.. etc. Erase your mind.

This is a thread for insomnia lovers. Please take your complaints elsewhere. It's off topic.

Ummm I get sleep, but it's not great sleep, wake up, fall back asleep, wake up, fall back asleep. I'm sorry but that kind of sleep doesn't really count as sleep to me....

[se7en]
