cant sleep

[mugsy]

yeah i really cant sleep.
this is my first year back in school (college) so maybe its just the end of trm stress, but i didnt experience this last term. everything is uncomfertable right now.
usually when im under stress i sleep alot so i get nothing done, but right now, its the opposite.
plus my bed is waaaaay to big, i think its missing something :kimmie:

but really whats with this? other school kids, does this happen to you?

[zarlon]

^ take sleeping pills!

oh man sorry.. i dont give great advice. go get some excercise, even though its 12:30 and that'd be kinda difficult right now.. do something that makes you tired. but i guess your bed is missing that.. hm. i dunno?

i have too much trouble sleeping, it's really annoying actually. i wish i could fall asleep on command and not think too much when i TRY.. my mind is way too active.

[mugsy]

i was thinkin of taking some benadryl, makes me sleepy and will help my little allergies, but i have to be up at 5:30 an di dont want to sleep past my alarm - wait i do - but i cant.

[zarlon]

bah :( drink some chamomile tea
i dont like the taste.. but it alwaaays makes me super sleepy.

[mapleleaf4ever]

I'm not in College and I still have a terrible time getting to sleep... too much stress, fiscal and otherwise I think.

benadryl is the same as sleep aids, like nytol. they're both diphenhydramine hydrochloride, only sleep aids have a higher dosage of it.

i've always had fucked up sleeping patterns, no matter what i do. i've been up since 11am saturday morning, worked a total of 16hrs [that's 16hrs on my feet] with only a 1 hr nap in between there. 1am and i'm still not sleeping. heh.

[decypher]

a chemical is released in ur body when ur under high levels of stress... could cause loss of appittite or insomnia

edit: also its better to fall asleep naturally instead of taking drugs.. really bad for you.. exercise can help cure this...

[~Sc@ndelu$~]

:226: i cant sleep either

It's the bloody new time change I hate it.

[Clayton.]

I have alotta troubles sleeping sometimes to cause i've always got shit on my mind, i usually smoke weed and fall asleep when burning out.

[Belms]

yeah excerise helps u sleep. i had a soccer game today. im tired as fuck right now. anyone know what causes u to yawn? i heard its not enough oxygen going to your brain.

[neoh]

The mystery of why we yawn is still not completely solved yet. It is still not known exactly how a yawn occurs either. But the general reason most of us have heard, is pretty much correct. Most professionals believe that yawning is caused by low oxyegen levels in the lungs, in the alveoli of the lungs to be more specific. It is believed that when oxygen levels are low in the lungs, the brain sends us a signal to sigh or yawn, thus causing us to take in more oxyegen, which increases oxygen to the alveoli. The alveoli sends the oxyegen directly into the bloodstream. They also rid the body of carbon dioxide when we exhale.

And, the best way to get tired - is listening to some Armin, and playing Solitare. :)

Low oxygen levels in the lungs?
That's why i yawn so much after a smoke.

[Belms]

that was what i thought. except much more detailed.

[yoko*]

I can't sleep right now cause I'm not allowed to. I have a 10-12 page term paper due tomorrow at 5:00 pm and I haven't even started yet :)

My mind is already in summer mode.

[jib monkey]

ask for an extension. or hand it in late. at this hour it's it's hard to produce good quality work. might be better to take the penalty. ya i can't sleep either i need to write a paper...due on wednesday atleast but it's worth sooo much that i am hiding from it. fucking fnk..i spent all day today procrastinating

[yoko*]

mmm... well....nahhh.. not worth losing a grade for, and i really want to get this piece of shit done with. This is my last assignment before I can relax and not worry about school for a while.
Besides, I have until 5pm tomorrow I should still be ok. The thing that pisses me off though is that I really have a mind-block tonight and I can't construct my words in an academic bull-shitting kind of way. You know, in a way that sounds intelligent even if my paper isn't very intelligent. heh.

my mind's shutdown for the night.

[mugsy]

yah.. goi on two hours of "natural sleep"
i havent had a full cycle of sleep yet fro about two weeks... this sucks.
exercise eh? i'll give it a whirl.

[SEAN!]

i feel the same way..but im pretty sure its not stress, i think im just thinking to much..i only slept 3 hours last night, and i really dont feel any more tired then usual.

[stringbeans]

take a shot of alcohol.. it'll relax you and help you sleep.. and then in the morning you'll feel great. just make sure its not so much that you get a buzz

its a tip i got from a fellow student at bcit when we used to only get 3 or 4hrs of sleep each night because of projects

[Jingles]

^ booze induced sleep is a different kind of sleep - not so good..it makes you a little un refreshed and when you have to go to work that's not a good thing

I was reading an article about trouble going to sleep last week
if you are lying in bed and you are feeling uncomfy and you can't doze off -- you should get out of bed and do something til you become drowsy

apparently lying in bed and not sleeping stresses your body out and if you do it repeatedly - your subconcious starts to associate the bed with thinking time rather then sleeping time and that means more sleepless nights

and having a regluar bed time and wake up time is a good thing too

I know how you feel, cos i've been going through the same thing. I've been thinking of getting a new hobby so I can do something productive with hours of nonsleep.


I think it's a recent thing because this time of year is naturally pretty stressful for a lot of people, and also because with more hours of sunlight naturally, it fucks up our schedules. Now that the clocks have actually been turned ahead, this is bound to screw me for a few more weeks.

Hope you sleep soon, Mugsy.

[mugsy]
