How the hell do you people sleep at night?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Also the only "drug" ive really takin was medicinal cocaine for my bronchitis. My opinion on weed is, why take something to make me "giggly" and lazy and hungry when i am anyway without drugs :P.

also try masterbating, puts me right to sleep if i cant.
Shit they give you coke for bronchitis now? All I've been given for mine is medicine and the shit worked after 2 weeks of regular use. No one's saying to consume anything you don't need but in a lot of cases marijuana helps. Also fapping has never helped me and if you have that large problems trying to sleep I doubt it'll do anything for you. I have to say I remember taking like 6 tylenol PM's running about for a bit while fighting the sleep and then just passing out from exhaustion works.
Yea I know, well I had the Flu at the SAME TIME I had bronchitis and i guess they felt i needed a strong stimulent to keep me functioning well. I hate my hypoglycemia. Its like, you dont eat, you pass out, you do eat... you might be fine but if you had anything sugary itll put you into an anxiety attack and once again ill pass out. Really sucks. :?

This hypoglycemia thingy, it has nothing to do with diabetes right??? Is it a temporary thing or a real disease that needs to be treated with drugs for life??? Anyway, is it like passing out due to working out and not eating before hand. I passed out a couple of times in the name of dieting and losing weight. Yeah, stupid me.

So last night I turned everything off in my room, but my receiver. I found some classical station and left it on at like 5% volume. It actually worked and I fell asleep at 11pm.

...Then woke at 2am with a fucking migraine and massive nauseating feeling. While accepting my certain doom, I remembered how often this has happened in the past when I got to sleep at a normal hour. Not ganna be doing that again anytime soon.

Maybe you are vampire and you just don't know it yet. Daylight just isn't your thing. Go out there and rule the night, Count Mozgus. :lol:

Find a job that is swing shift and stay up until 5:30 every morning. If you can't sleep during normal hours do not operate on them. I work 2-10:30 PM doing large scale event A/V and sound. I come home and stay up until around 4-5 and sleep until 1PM. Repeat.

If you have a partner this can be tough if they don't have the same schedule. Social life can suffer. Mine doesn't as my friends are all night owls as well.

Its where your glucos levels are inherently low and unstable, i have to be constantly eating but nothing to sugary or ill have an anxiety attack. Ill list what happens when you have to much and to little sugar:

Too much:
Shakiness, anxiety, nervousness, tremor
Palpitations, tachycardia
Sweating, feeling of warmth
Pallor, coldness, clamminess
Dilated pupils
Feeling of numbness "pins and needles" in the fingers

Too little:
Hunger, borborygmus
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort
Headache (feeling of being hung-over)
Abnormal mentation, impaired judgement
Nonspecific dysphoria, anxiety, moodiness, depression, crying
Negativism, irritability, belligerence, combativeness, rage
Personality change, emotional lability
Fatigue, weakness, apathy, lethargy, daydreaming, sleep
Confusion, amnesia, dizziness, delirium
Staring, "glassy" look, blurred vision, double vision
Automatic behavior, also known as automatism
Difficulty speaking, slurred speech
Ataxia, incoordination, sometimes mistaken for "drunkenness"
Focal or general motor deficit, paralysis, hemiparesis
Paresthesias, headache
Stupor, coma, abnormal breathing
Generalized or focal seizures

all from the pamphlit my doctor gave me :P. I get the automation effect alot, sometimes i wont be thinking but my body will be doing something, like you lose all sense of reality and stare into space while your body is like doing something else, like turning on and off the TV (my friend actually videotaped that) but i always will passout no matter if im to high or low. Just with high i get an anxiety attack first then when im too low i get like "drunk" then pass out. But if i have say a endurance running tournament, a soda or two will cause me to lose all awarness of how tired i am and just get really hyper and go on forever, not that its good for me but still.
