Pshaw!  Well, going to bed was a big waste of my time. All I did was watch a movie. The sun came up, I'm still wide awake, my movie finished. No point in staying in bed now, figured I might as well get dressed and feed the animals. mad ...Grumble grumble.... I'll make some coffee. stare I'm not actually all that grumpy. 5 am is actually my favourite hour of the day. 6 am is not all that bad either. I just prefer waking up at that time. sweatdrop rolleyes But then it's my fault for messing up my sleeping schedule again. I always do this! stressed I keep my sleep just perfect for a couple of months. To bed at 9pm, wake up at 5 or 6... then all of the sudden I'm swinging my schedule around in favour of getting to bed around 3 am and getting up at 11 complaining on how my day is wasted and the coffee is old gonk xd I have used too many emoticons here. Rape of the Smilies

I've struggled with Insomnia alot myself. Good new is that onset insomnia, the kind where you have trouble getting to sleep in the first place is less serious than duration or termination insomnia. The best way to reset your sleep schedual is to progress your circadian cycle so that you stay up later and later each night untill you get all the way forward to 9pm or whatever your desired hour is, and then level it off there. However, that's often very impractical, so the next best way is to shock your circadian cycle by staying up a full 24 hours or more, so that it doesn't know what the hell time it is, or care for that matter, and you can get to sleep whatever time you choose. Then you just have to make sure to keep going to bed at the same time even if you're not tired untill your sleep cycle adapts to it.

I know, I have done that so many times, pushing the limits on my sleep to turn my clock right around. I used to work at Rogers Video too, so closing at 1am, or starting inventory at 4am, and all kinds of other screwy BS, really took its toll on my sleeping patterns. I have sleeping pills, but I have to take them at 8pm and no later, otherwise I sleep in till 10 or 11am... and I hate that more than being tired. I keep forgetting to take them, though, so here I am, up late again, looking forward to 5 hours sleep max. At least when I am up like this, I can still wake up at 8.
True insomnia is the total inability to sleep, though. Many people think they have insomnia, but all it is is that they have not given themselves the opportunity to sleep. Like staying up on Gaia all night or watching to much TV, and not going to bed xd
Longest I went without sleep... February 2005. I had seriously bad insomnia and slept only a few times a week. At one point I was up for 3 days straight, was starting to hallucinate, then when to my best friend's birthday party... we saw Lazer U2 at the planetarium. Stupidest idea ever! Dangerous, actually. I was totally a mad woman that day, no doubt, but my biggest problem is that I am prone to seizures. And lack of sleep and drinking make them worse... and was what I doing? Drinking, up for 3 days straight, then going to watch blinking lights. Fecking brilliant rolleyes stressed xd
As the lights started going down in the dome, it suddenly dawned on me and I cried out "What the ******** am I doing here?!" and my best friend started laughing her a** of at me. At least I know I entertained her evil

gonk xd I'm glad I'm not prone to seizures, I used to miss alot of sleep, and I'm rather fond of light shows. I know that "Insomnia" is usually meant as the total inability to sleep, and that is what I've had even when I would go to bed, or spend all day in bed trying to get myself to fall asleep. However, the way I learned it in my pshychology courses (first year, yes, but is my little precious knowlege, and you don't want me getting gollum on you, precious xp ) psychologists recognize three kinds of insomnia in onset, duration, and termnination insomnia. Onset insomnia is where you can't get to sleep in the first place, commonly caused by stress or behaviour that doesn't give the body a chance to fall asleep such as staying up on gaia or being addicted to caffiene. Duration type is where you wake up repeatedly during the night and lose rest as a result, it has a range of different causes and is usually a more serious prolem than onset insomnia, and is often harder to treat. Termination is where you wake up and cannot fall asleep again, many cases are a symptom of depression and can be cured if the depression is dealt with.
Also, Febuary sucks. My least favorite month by far, and it doesn't help either that it's too damn long. In Feb. '04 I lost upward of 50lb, and it wasn't the good kind of weightloss from diet or exercise gonk

I'd get on Zath's case about the sleeping pills, since natural solutions are more healthy, but I can't really talk. I've a hystory of abusing NyQuil, or "kissing the Q" as the slang goes.
