I CANT SLEEP!!!!!

ZiggyStar

Last night I went to bed at 3.30am and got up at 7am today.....and now I'm about to pull another (nearly) all nighter. This is because I've been working at home....not partying for NYE....so also trying to be productive. Tried to have a nap today and couldn't! :?

I'm going to be fucked by Monday afternoon! :crazy:

Morning, conman, hi Ziggy - happy 2012 to you :wave: I feel a little like on groundhog day

I'm sitting at my computer again, working Did you have a good nye? Maybe you would have had to party a little harder in order to fall asleep tonight ...

No worries. Tell em to Fuck off! They will understand, right?

I'm on the night shift, so I shouldn't be sleeping now, and I cant sleep for shit during the daylight hours. Never have been able to... Working shift work for 22+ years :x

But when do you sleep then? You must sleep sometime!

Have you tried leaving your workplace with sunglasses on? I heard that people do that in order to be able to sleep during the day.

We just need Speedy to make it an exact repeat of last night!

I worked NYE....it was a really productive night so it was good. New Years Day is finishing here and I had a great day today. Lovely breakfast of bacon, eggs, hash browns, baked beans and croissants at mum and dad's house early this morning. Got shitloads of work done this afternoon. A really relaxed day. :thumbup:

Are you planning on working all day today, Leeze?

Sounds like a good day, and I love that breakfast :thumbup: I will have to work all day to get my stuff done, and tomorrow I'm back in the office again. But only for two days. Then I'm off for a 3-week-vacation. So it's not too bad. I'm going to take a nap in the afternoon, can't do that at work

I have a 40 minute nap on the bus ride/commute home. Then after some light breakfast I hit the bed around 9 am, sleep til 11:30 or 12. Wake up... FOR NO REASON most of the time. Really. NO FUCKING reason!!! Then I wander, check the web, turn on the news, get pissed because I am awake...

Then around 2pm I try to head back to bed for a nap until I have to wake up for the next shift by 4:30pm. Many of these 'naps' dont happen for one reason or another... I have been chasing my kids athletics for 12 years... School concerts... band and chior. and sometimes I just want to visit with the kids and the wife when they get home from school, so I stay awake or just catnap for an hour or two.

I do 4 nights in a row now, (F, SA,Su, M) have a few days off, work days on the following F,Sa,Su, then have Monday off, and follow it up by working nights again on Tues, Wed, and Thurs before my weekend off. After that I work 4 days in a row and am rewarded with a whole week off before starting all over again on the nightshift.

Sleep is over-rated.

I'm going to visit someone special, so YES

Conman, sorry to hear that. I think not being able to sleep long enough can really be dangerous to your health. I mean it's okay for a couple of days, but not for weeks. I think I would walk around like a zombie :? Did you try reading? There are loads of boring books (don't try the good ones for this, they will keep you awake) you can wonderfully fall asleep to. Or maybe an audio book?


Wow, given to... that is quite a routine :shock: At least you get that one week off. I'm a bit of a night owl myself, but I think I would go crazy ... Kudos to you for being able to manage a life like that, especially with a family. I can imagine that it must be tough sometimes.

I have never slept properly in my entire life,from birth to 4 all I ever did was catnap,it almost destroyed my parents marriage as they were always so tired.
Reached my early teens and would have slept for days if I had been left to.
Mid-teens up to late 20's smoked too much weed,drank,gigged and partied stayed awake for days.
Late 20's to now,15 years,up countless amounts of times at night,anything from 10 minutes to 2 hours.It sucks, I wish I could just head to bed,get to sleep quickly and not wake until the alarm goes off.
Over active head I guess :?

I hate OAHS (over active head syndrome)

I remember worrying about coaching little league games to the point I would wake up and change line-ups!
