DU insomniacs check in
Edited on Wed Jul-07-04 12:07 AM by Angelus
It's 12:01 AM CST and I have a feeling I'll be up until at least 6 am. I'm a true insomniac. My day sucked. It was long and boring. At least the Twins beat the Royals 4-0. Now we're #1 of the AL Central Division. :)

How about you? How was your day?

1. I haven't decided yet.
Since I rarely fall asleep before 1:00am no matter when I get up, I suppose I qualify. I'll probably do my usual sleep from 1:30 to 7:30 tonight. :hi:

6. 1:30 to 7:30, eh?
I haven't gone to bed that early in two months. I really should start going to bed early. :shrug:

11. I usually can't fall asleep right away.
It's a habit though to try to go to bed then because my insomnia is thought of as an intentionally malicious character flaw around here.

2. Checking in
although it's actually 3 in the arvo where I am rather than the middle of the night - but I'm one of those can-not-get-to-sleep-no matter-how-tired-I-am types so at 3am tommorrow morning when I'm wondering how we have 50 channels and there's still nothing on in the wee hours I'll think of you!

4. Heh.
I have over 300 channels on my DirecTV and there's nothing on. That's pretty bad...

21. Australian pay TV is relatively new
and pretty much consists of a couple of movie channels (even at peak times they're years old) and endless re-runs of old sitcoms.

Oh and sport...endless hours upon hours of sport - which when I think about it should work as an effective sedative!

3. I should have signed into this thread
last night. Up all night. A combo of wondering about the new VP, regular insomnia, dogs in the trash at 2AM and a big ass thunderstorm. I did find out one interesting thing. I watched a movie and discovered that I am really intrigued by Gary Oldman. That finished off my night. You would think I would be asleep by now. Anyway, HELLO! Checking in.

5. Hola.
I was up for the same reasons you were. I was kinda excited about the VP choice and who it was going to be. Thankfully it was Edwards. :)

10. It got kinda exciting
today, probably why I am still awake. Searching for something to watch on TV, no luck so far. DU is a problem, as long as there is something to read or someone to write to (and there is always something interesting going on here) I will have a problem making myself try to sleep.

7. What?

Sorry, been cranky since "you won't go to sleep until 3 am" mode kicked in. Divorce related insomnia, cause I don't want to try and go to sleep with THAT crap on my mind.

18. My day...
I went out, came back to my car to see engine coolant leaking out of it, came home, watched my team (Yankees) lose to Detroit 9-1. Good day, eh?

19. Up all night
It's 1:37 am here and I'm going for another 6 or so hours. Got the XM on the stereo and multiple windows open on the puter.

Sleep is for the weak. 4 hours out of every 24 will do ya.

22. 11:48 PM and checkin' in
I might be up on the computer until two or three, but I'll be reading Clinton's book for five hours and just forget to sleep. I just watched "The War Room" for the second time and I'm full of nostalgia.

23. Procrastinating...
It's summer time, and I'm doing school shit.

My brain isn't used to the idea.

Maybe I'll try to go to sleep soon so I can wake up earlier and actually be awake for my class in the morning.

I should, since I have two days left and am behind in alot of work.

25. I'm not an insomniac, I'm working 3rd shift this week.
Hm, the printers haven't made any noise for a while. Guess I better do something about it.

27. eh
the Royals aren't doing that good.

I mentioned this on GD.. but there's a mock election here: http://www.uselectionatlas.org/USPRESIDENT/GENERAL/CAMPAIGN/2004/mock04.php (free registration required to vote). Kerry is down by 54 votes to the Libertarian candidate. No kidding. I might be sorta shilling by mentioning this here, but nobody's really noticed it yet on GD.

29. I haven't been able to fall
asleep until at least 6am since Friday night. Since I'm going to the Kerry/Edwards rally today in Cleveland, I would have had to get up at 6am . . . so I'm running on no sleep!! I hope I'll be awake enough to enjoy it! :-(

Insomnia sucks!
