2:00 in the morning, class at 8:00, and no sleep on the horizon as far as the eye can see! Sound familiar? Join the WP Insomniacs Club and enjoy fun insomniac activities, such as... writing funny stuff in our signatures! And uh... not... sleeping?

No fancy shmancy registration necessary! Just proclaim your membership in your signature or something. Wahey!



PS, ignore my lame posts. I'm just bored out of my skull.

I was up till past 4am this morning and I know I wasn't the only one (hey Dunc?)

I actually like being awake at this time- the house is so quiet and I can do whatever I like without being interrupted. Of course it is a bit of a pain in the arse when you've got to be someowhere early the next morning

heh, I must be a founder member.....

although logged off at around 4.20 this morning, yesterday it was 5.30

I just get to the point where sleep is optional, but I can tell I need it cos I start spouting gibberish or having trouble reading. thats usually my cue to try and go to sleep for a bit.

And I think my signature is odd enough to qualify, I changed it while suffering sleep deprivation. It made perfect sense at the time......

Dunc

It dosen't matter what time I try to go to bed, I'm never asleep until 2am or later.

Always on an upside-down schedule, me!

It's called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome >>

Ahhh. Makes sense now.

Just one long string of things to be messed up with my sleep.

i never have problems with the actual sleeping its just the times i go to sleep.

i go right through the clock with my sleeping times.

i'll stay up later and later until i'm completely nocturnal.

i could wake up at 7 pm one day and then 7 days later be going to bed at 7 pm

ive tried just setting the alarm but it just ends up with me going to bed at 6 am and the alarm ringing at 7am.

ive tried taking melatonin and 5-htp too but they didnt work very well

I'm finally able to get to sleep earlier. Before about last week or the week before, I wasnt getting to bed until 4AM. And then we got school at 6AM. Then I got sick (Terrible cold/flu) and started going to bed at 10. Now we get 3-4 more hours of sleep because I am going to bed at 12 or 1 now

I find it hard to get to sleep at night.

I don't like to sleep in the day, but sometimes I can't help it. It's really hard, because other people don't sleep in the day and people do things in the day.

Wow, this all sounds familiar.

Great link, btw. thanks.

As a baby/kid, my parents said that I always had to see everyone else go to sleep before I would sleep. Things haven't changed much.
My wife's on an early schedule so she goes to bed at about 9pm every night. I usually join her and talk but it's next to impossible for me to go to sleep at 9:30-10:00. Sometimes, I'll just lie there for hours, trying too sleep to no avail. That sucks!

Now we both take Ambien, a sleeping pill. the problem is, my typical sleep pattern is about 6-7 hours, so if I go to sleep at 9:30, I'm up in the middle of the night and usually can't go back to sleep again. Argh!

How is it for you folks? Do you lie awake, thinking about things or is your mind blank? A big part of my problem is that my mind rarely stops thinking. As long as I'm thinking about some project I'm working on, I'm wide awake.

If anybody figures out a solution, please tell me. I'd love to be able to sleep like a normal person.

Here I am at 01:15 am, having to be in work by 9am tomorrow, exhausted from similarly late night sessions the rest of the week, and I still can't sleep properly..... Kind of answers that question, really....

I've found a partial solution to my own problem, but most people won't be able to use it. Occasionally when I'm running really low on sleep, I'll go to bed around 3pm and sleep all day. I wake up at night and do some programming, go to class in the morning and go right back to bed. I can sleep in all I want, and it even solves that pesky socialization problem too!

Here we go again. 1:15 and wide awake. Thats what I get for sleeping in the afternoon and having night (err day) mares about my computer getting infected with spyware.

It's 3:09 AM here and I feel as if I'll be up for many more hours.

Oiy.. opposite problem, here. I went to bed around 11:30 or 12:00 last night, and I have been waking up since 2 am this morning .

Heh... It's 6:07 AM and I'm still up. I think I will be going to bed soon...
