1. Both my mom and my friend were all like, "If you drink coffee at 5 you'll be up all night!" |
|
So far they haven't been proven right, but check back in about 6 hours. :crazy:

3. past two nights for me |
|
I'll sleep really good for the first 3-4hrs, wake up and can't fall back to sleep. I hate it cuz I feel like crap the next day. Then when it IS time to get out of bed, THAT's when I get sleepy. UGH!

9. I'm a friggin' night owl, and I know why... |
|
When I was a kid, I had no control over my life. Everything I did during the day was dictated by others.
When everyone else went to sleep -- it was my time (lonely as that can be).

10. You may have hit on something there |
|
Just curious... did you come up with this theory yourself?

12. I don't mean to pry, but.. |
|
..I really am curious how you figured this out on your own. Because the more I think about it the more it makes sense for me, too.

13. I was different from my siblings... |
|
I was introspective while my brothers were trying to "fit in." I was punished because I dared to challenge my parents' superficial value system. I was the only one who did -- so I was alone. I was seen as the black sheep because I couldn't go along with "the program."
I don't blame them. They did the best they knew how to do; but I wasn't born to conform to a "cookie cutter" mentality.
And thank you for asking! This feels good. :)

It might be the late hour, or because I'm dense, but I'm not sure what you mean.

17. You seem to have resonated with my experience of only having control over my life.. |
|
Edited on Sun Nov-04-07 04:57 AM by Indi Guy
...as a kid -- when the "controllers" were asleep (hence my "night owl" status).
I guess I'm asking you to share similar experience(s).
(Shouldn't be hard for a fellow insomniac :P )

My mind has a habit of going a million different directions during the day. There are very few places quiet enough, in this world, for me to truly feel at peace. Molokai is one of them. However, since it is impractical for me to live in a peaceful environment, staying up late at night to have some peace and quiet is sometimes heaven to me. Guess that is pretty personal... and probably sounds idiotic!

It makes perfect sense to me. The chaos of the day needs to be balanced by the privacy of thought. And it's nice to talk with others who understand this. Ain't it? :)

I'm finally a little sleepy... and think it would be a good idea to go to bed before the sun rises! :-)
