Insomnia Anonymous

The Brink of Insanityx · 25-03-2011, 05:28 AM

Okay, I don't know about everyone, but I have terrible insomnia.
Unfortunately, one of the down sides to my insomnia is that I get extremely bored after awhile. So I thought perhaps I'd start a thread for all the late nighters to talk to other late nighters and possibly amuse one another?
I'm not sure if there's another thread that has something to do with Insomnia or not, but if there is I'll delete this no problem.

So, yeah, hi. (:

I'm not really an insomniac per se. I just really like to be up late. I go to bed around 4 am most nights not because I can't sleep but because I don't want to. For me sleeping is unproductive. Plus, I enjoy the tranquillity of night; it's peaceful while the world sleeps.

I'm here in my insomnia too

fellow insomniac here. I woke up at three and couldn't get back to sleep. :|

I have insomnia too, just not as bad as some people though.

I take clorpromazine for mine, but it doesn't make much difference. anyone else on medication for it?

I happen to agree with enjoying the tranquility of the night. (:
It's almost a past time of mine.
I also really enjoy watching the world wake, and the sun rises here are breath taking.
So it's understandable.
How do you fill your time other than sitting back and enjoying the peaceful beauty of the night?

I haven't taken that yet, but right now I'm taking Ambien CR. All it really does is make me feel drunk and makes me sleep in sporadic half hours.

@ Ytak- Well then, welcome. (:

Well, this'd be perfect for me, if it weren't for that I seem to be in a different time zone to most people here.

Yeahhh it's nice. I don't really do anything of interest during the early hours of the morning. Usually homework, internet surfing, or video games. It's enough for me just to know I have time to myself.

People like watching sunrises. I imagine it would look pretty if you're on the beach or something.

Haha. No worries, I go days without sleeping. (:
So just stop by and say hi and it's all good.
I mean, I spend most of my nighttime on the computer or at least the crack of dawn on the computer.

Dear Insomniacs, appear immediately! Haha. Hi, I'm Pembe *waves*

sweepingly · 26-03-2011, 03:42 AM

hi, I'm Leia. 8D I'm exhausted, it's almost three and I can't sleep.

aklx · 26-03-2011, 03:51 AM

Hello Leia :)
That sucks. Me too, I've resorted to watching some crappy film with Miley Cyrus in it haha.
How are you, apart from the whole tired thing?

The Brink of Insanityx · 26-03-2011, 06:36 AM

Hi Leia and Pembe. (:

Miley Cyrus? You poor thing.

Hydro · 26-03-2011, 11:41 AM

It's kinda productive and necessary for everyone, even if you aren't aware of it.

FixMe19 · 26-03-2011, 05:24 PM

I have insomnia too but that's usually because I don't want to sleep...like i'll sleep listening to music which doesn't help :/...and then i'll wonder why I can't sleep and i'll give up! lol.

The Brink of Insanityx · 26-03-2011, 05:35 PM

Lol.
I need background noise period to even attempt to sleep.
Absolutely silence makes it hard for me to get comfortable.

aklx · 26-03-2011, 06:48 PM

Silence scares me, I'm not used to it. Makes me all on edge because I'm listening out for things.
