Anybody awake? It's one of my insomnia nights...

[Aristus]

Talk to me...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Oh my dear Aristus...

I'm sorry to hear this.

Insomnia sucks!

I've had that far too many times...

Are you going to do a William Shakespeare this weekend? I hope you'll have time!

[Aristus]

3. I'm planning on it.

Haven't come up with a theme yet; or a quote. I could do it now, I suppose. I'm awake anyway.

But I prefer to do it in the morning, when the day is young and full of promise. And I can peruse my source material while drinking some good coffee...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Oh, good.

I think doing it in the morning is an excellent idea...

Hope you get some sleep!

See you tomorrow...

[Aristus]

6. Good night, CalPeg...

Thanks for talking...

[Lasher]

2. Me too.

I shouldn't have gone to bed so early. Now I'll be up for awhile.

[Aristus]

4. I get insomnia 2-3 times a month like clockwork.

But tonight, it's my fault. I had a cup of hot chocolate just an hour or so before bed. I knew that was a mistake!...

[Lasher]

7. I'm lucky if I only get it 2-3 times a week.

I'm sure it's hereditary in my case. My dad used to wake up way before daylight and pass the time alone playing solitaire.

[Aristus]

8. 2-3 times a week?

Brutal...

[Lasher]

11. Yep. But I can sleep as long as I want tomorrow.

That will probably be until about noon.

9. Insomnia?

I'm watching Letterman. Jake Johannsen is coming up.

[pokerfan]

13. Guess I'm chopped liver

Now I'm watching Ferguson.

Try counting backwards from 1000 by threes: 100, 997, 994, 991...

[UnrepentantLiberal]

16. Jake Johannsen is hilarious.

[pokerfan]

20. Yes he is

I like his Jimmy Stewart style of delivery,

"I thought you were dead! I don't know how anything works!"

[UnrepentantLiberal]

21. This one had me laughing so hard I was crying.

10. I have such a screwed up bioclock

I only sleep for about 2-3 hours at a time - any little thing wakes me up, and when I am up I stay up.

I sleep all day in 3 hr shifts, then can't sleep well at night. Its a catch-22, can't sleep at night - tired all day, nap then can't sleep all night etc etc

Part is depression and not having a job, so its easy to be a lazy ass at home.


I am sorry you have insomnia, it sucks and its frustrating!

[Aristus]

12. I don't envy you that sleep schedule.

Sounds way more screwed up than mine...

[unionworks]

14. I'm here

For another half hour or so, anyway!

[Aristus]

19. Thanks for replying.

I finally went to bed about a half hour before your reply. But I appreciate it...

[HeiressofBickworth]

15. Mine isn't insomnia

It's a screwed up inner clock. I'm retired so I don't have to get up in the mornings. Therefore I've reverted to my inner clock schedule that says it's perfectly ok to go to bed at 3:00 am and sleep 6 - 8 hours and then do it all over again. I don't mind. The house is quiet (the others went to bed about 10:00), the cats have even bedded down for the night. The last one to come between me and the computer screen was about a half hour ago. I'm not going to drink any more tea so I won't have to get up in a few hours to pee. I've been plugging away at some genealogy on-line research which really eats up the time. And then there's DU -- always there, always something new to read. Hope you can catch some ZZZZZ's pretty soon.

17. Insomnia sucks hard.

I was prone to it from time to time when I worked shift work...the revolving body clock was not my friend. But it was at least infrequent. Now it's a rare day when I'm not wide awake long before my alarm goes off. I can never get back to sleep. Fortunately, my dog is good company.

[HopeHoops]

18. I am, but it's 9:45 in the morning now.
