manicmonday Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Pretty straight forward poll. Every knows I'm a nocturnal, and even worse, a chronic insomniac. While it's never really had a bad effect on any of my relationships, it does interfer with my job to a certain degree. If we had board meetings at 2 am, I would be 100% with it. As it is, at 8 am, I'm there, but not fully human till about 10 am. Any one else? Any one else have the the problem in reverse?

phreakwars Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 I've spent almost 9 years dealing with sleep issues. After a medication change a few months ago, I can usually sleep about 6 or so hours now. Before, I would only sleep an hour or 2, then be awake for the day.. Some say my personality has changed since I have been sleeping more. Evidently, I am a much happier person ( in the real world). . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
Phantom Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 In the summertime I am a night owl. After the time change in the fall, I am a morning bird. I suppose you could say I'm solar powered. Up with the sun, down with the sun. Quote Blah.
smutt butt Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 I can't imagine being an insomniac. I went 4 days without sleeping when i stopped taking vicodin for my leg. I took 3 sleeping pills and washed them down with a beer and watched tv all night. I know what insanity feels like. Any other time i can lay down on a pile of broken glass and sleep 12hrs. Going to work at 3:30am and trying to watch the few shows on tv that i like makes sleep a luxury. Quote "This place may be bombed and we will be killed. We love death. The US loves life.

Komrade Vostok Hazard Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 1. Usually I'm up at either 9,10, or 11 AM and can be fully functional for a day. If I get up before then I'm either belligerant and/or in some sort of dillusioned zombie state all day 2. I Generally have a lot of troubles falling asleep ESPECIALLY if there is any sort of sound or even the slightest thing on my mind that is bugging me. These are NOT fun all-nighters, and I've had way too many of them. Quote All bullshit, No Business.
builder Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 If I eat too much, I can fall asleep standing up and leaning on a bass speaker at a rock concert. But seriously, I'm with you on the stress/worry factor in the insomnia equation. The older I get, the more I realise that fears are fabrications of our own making. Front them when they come. Try not to paint them in your own mind. Quote Persevere, it pisses people off.

angie Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I can function, if need be, on 4 hours sleep. It isn't pretty but it is doable. If I go several nights without at least 6 hours, Ice Princess (as some of my friends have so kindly dubbed me) comes out. Total unbearable bitch.

ToriAllen Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 It depends. If I am bored and have nothing to do or look forward to I could lay in bed until around noon, but I would only sleep about eight hours. If I am on vacation or have something pressing that needs to get done, I'm fine with four or five hours of sleep. I don't sleep very sound. I wake up about three times a night, but easily get back to sleep. Quote Smart men learn from their own mistakes; Wise men learn from others. I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

ParasiteGod Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I can go with very little sleep and be okay. I once went for two weeks with only 6 hours total. I actually start to function better when I'm sleep deprived. If I sleep past a certain time, though, I'll sleep the whole day. More sleep = More tired. Some of my best artwork/writing/etc comes out around 3 or 4 am. Ask me at noon and I can't do a thing if I've been sleeping. The problem is, the less sleep I get, the more of a jackass I am. But I'm one of those people who can insult you and make it ound polite. Quote I want to report a double murder. If you go one mile east on Columbus Parkway to the public park, you will find kids in a brown car. They were shot with a 9mm Luger. I also killed those kids last year. Good bye Brooks, I like you. Now get out of here. Go home.

Vortex Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 My sleeping is very irregular...and irritating... I cant fall asleep unless im dead tired.....or drunk (drinking at times has become my sleeping pill lately).... then on the flip side...it takes a friggin freight train to wake me up (usually harder if i havent been drinking....if you can believe that) 7 hours is the shortest time my body seems to require for me to function normally...anything less i either get sick....or am a shell of a human being for the day.... left to my own devices (sober or drunk) and not setting any alarms or having anything planned the next day i can sleep 12+ hours easily. .....infact not that long ago i went to bed around 6am...woke up at 9:45pm...rolled over and called it a day and went back to sleep till about 9am... I love my sleep...Must be why i stay young looking cuz i smoke like crazy... with my promotion i seem to be stressed alot more...and getting to sleep is much harder then every before, but waking up is at least easier (mainly out of fear of being irresponsible when i have soo many people to be in charge of and to be a good example)... shrug..well see how tonight goes.....got off work at 1:20am...and have to work from 11-9 tomorow....im hoping these few glasses of wine will get me tired to go to bed since i havent gone to sleep all week till 5ish...so this should be a great day tomorow....zombie vortex will come out i suspect... Quote -I don't know about you...but I am SICK and tired of being nice and understanding!!! -The Liver is evil and must be punished! -The Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. How can your opinion be the correct one....if, infact, its only an opinion?!?!

Kryptonite Man Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 On a good night, I can function on four to six hours of sleep, unless there's a Sci-Fi convention in town. Then it's ZERO sleep for two nights, meaning, I'm like a bat. Quote I'm a liberal's worst nightmare. A black man with a brain!
