I go through bouts every few months...right now my schedule is all f'ed up...I don't go to 'sleep' until 3 or 4 am, then I sleep until 7am, am up for an hour then fall back asleep until 11.
If anybody is into homeopathic stuff, try valerian capsules. They have helped me. I don't feel as dopey when I take those compared to Ambien.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Have not tried valerian.... how well does it work? Like, melatonin good, or Tylenol 3s plus wine good? :P

I've taken Valerian Root with mixed results- it helps sometimes, doesn't do much other times. Definitely worth giving it a try though I've heard it's best not take too much and not to take it on a regular basis.
Sometimes I don't sleep because I don't want to. As I get older I have all these things I want to do while I still can. So I got to thinking about how they say not getting enough sleep will likely shorten ones life but then I wonder- if I'm awake more hours every day that I'm alive will that offset the number off days I'll lose of my life staying up? I wonder if anyone's ever done the math on that one?
That also got me to thinking about something someone told me once- that sometimes we value quantity of life over quality of life.

I'm having a hard time sleeping due to 7 stitches in a throbbing thumb (see the MOTHERF**KER!! thread)....,the other night it got so bad I washed down a Lortab with some Fireball )

you don't really need to snort it to make it work... )
Lots of herbal stuff smells...I had to take wormwood (that stuff in absinthe) for a month twice a day...THAT stuff is horrible awful disgusting stuff, I would hold my nose, shoot it down, and follow with a chaser.
and Brian is right, you don't want to take it regularly...just sometimes. Like when I'm super stressed, I'll take it. I would start with one, then go up to 3 max for a night, wait about 45 minutes after the first dose.

Do you guys ever over sleep after you didn't sleep? My sleep is completely screwed now. I slept like 12-14 hours of repeatedly interrupted sleep after previously only sleeping 2-ish hours each of the two previous nights.
I don't have time for this right now! :-(
No I don't

Well thats it I officially feel like im dying, Ive had no sleep in the last 24 hrs and no matter how hard I try I cant get to sleep, got no music on, got the light on bc I have to take my meds at 8 oclock glad I did not forget.
Yep, sleeping shit over here with me at the moment too. I know what it i. It's since I started a new job just under 2 months ago. I wake up most days at 4am'ish & can't get back to sleep coz I'm freaking out, listing in my head the things I need to get done. Had a meltdown at work today, well actually, I kind of think anyone would after the boss said the following to me this morning: "don't come near me right now I'm really angry you've fucked this up for me". She had an important meeting I'd been organising for the last few weeks & the IT fucked up.
Anyway, yep, I have the little blue pills, find they work fine for me, don't leave me groggy & tonight will be the 3rd one I've taken this week. I always try & only have 1 per week max but fuck it this week!
Otherwise I always have some calcium & magnesium pills beside my bed & have one of them when I wake in the night. They haven't been working for me recently though. :-/
Wish me good sleep tonight!!

It's normal with sleeping problems when starting a new job. I've had it too. That was too bad you had a rough start but maybe it will lead to something good. Maybe you could ask your boss (when it's a good moment for it) how you can do it better next time and write things down so you have something concrete to work with, or ask a good, nice colleague. Try to go to bed early so you have more time to sleep on. Don't be too hard on yourself it will be al right and sleep well

i've never understood how chromecast works. I assume it's connected to your wifi network? I just ran a wire between my PC and TV. and then I got another one for my laptop which I only use as needed.

You just stick the chromecast into the back of your TV and keep it there, and yes, it connects through your wifi, then connects to everything via your phone. No wires, no computer required. Just press a button and voila. And you can still use your phone for everything at the same time. I don't even own a computer. Just a smartphone.

there's something wrong with my connection. It's not stable. I need to talk to my isp but I'd rather deal with internet that disconnects every 5 seconds than actually deal with them.
