That's all I wanted to say. I'm bored and just want to hang out a little and you all are sleepyheads! Who says you can't survive on 5 hours of sleep a night? Posts: 870 | Registered: Mar 2005

I'm still up, but only for a little while longer. I try and get 7 hours of sleep at least. If you get less than 7 (or more than like 9), it's not healthy for you (particularly for your heart).

Ha! I go to sleep at 2:30AM everyday just because I feel like it! I get my good 8 hrs of sleep too!

I hate people who don't have to get up (relatively) early. I normally have to get up around 6:30-6:45 in order to get to school on time. I wish the whole schedule could be shifted forward about 3 hours, but they can't do that because of sports practices.
Did you all ever hear about that guy who went like, 1 year without sleep? (I think it was something like that, maybe more) I think I'll go google it and see if I can't find ya a story. Brb

Woah! Nevermind it was 20!! Here-(who knows if it's real)
KOSZER (WSAP) - According to his physicians, 63 years old Nestor Fedorczuk from the Volhynian village Koszer (near Kowel) is as healthy as a man of his age can possibly be. Nevertheless, he has not slept for more than two decades and is far from happy about it.
He cannot remember the exact year, but the last time Nestor ever slept was sometime at the beginning of the 1980s. It was nothing but a short nap. Since that moment, he has never been able to doze off for longer than a few seconds. "I used to read the minutes of boring Sejm meetings in the hope they would help me fall asleep", Nestor explains. "But as soon as I felt my eyes getting droopy and put the paper aside, I would find myself wide awake again."
Scientists have not yet been able to find a satisfactory explanation for the phenomenon. All therapies and treatments that were meant to put Fedorczuk to sleep have failed. According to his personal doctor, Mordechaj Koszel, he feels good, has no pain whatsoever, is not overly exhausted, and is definitely not sick: "Medically speaking, Nestor is a perfectly healthy man. He is just unable to fall asleep, that's all." Fedorczuk's insomnia may have been caused by earlier diseases, but it is impossible to find out which.
"This has been going on for over twenty years now and I've simply gotten used to it", the insurance broker says. "Now, when everyone else sleeps, I get stuck into a good book. But I have read my entire library already three times now, and I am getting tired of it."

I hate it when it gets too dead at night. I don't know if it is that people do not stay up late enough, or if I just stay up too late.

In high school, I was always up at 5:15. That sucked, very much. It meant I tried to get to bed by 11 or 11:30, although there were some days where I was so stressed I got no sleep. High school definitely wasn't healthy for me. College has been better. I can go to bed at 1 or 1:30 and still pull in a good 7 hours of sleep. It's good stuff.

I stay up too late - and make up for it by taking a 2-3 hour nap after my kids go to school. I didn't get my nap today (Monday - since I'm still up, it's still Monday to me).
I will definitely be taking a nap tomorrow (technically today - see previous paragraph).
Am I incoherent enough? I could stay up later if necessary. Posts: 2034 | Registered: Apr 2004

I stay up late almost every night, although I should good to sleep much early, I get side-tracked.

Text Twist gets really boring when you play it enough that you start getting half or more repeats.

Oh. Right now, since we're still on DST, we're actually -7. But in a week (I think?) we'll be back at -8.

Hey, I'm trying to find a decent Kurta for Fahim, and I'm halfways wondering if I should make it myself.

We saw some the other day that were $270 and up. But then the same store had saris for $180 and up. In a country where saris usually cost $50 for really really nice ones.

*laughs* Yeah, probably. We'll have to see what we can find. It's just that he'd look so hot in a kurta, and a western suit would just . . . not. (I'm already starting to drool. How sad! )

Yeah. I love men in kilts, and I wish my husband had the knees for one.
Alas, he does not. But at least he looks like a totally hot model in a nice suit (of which my father bought him three for his last birthday.)

Fahim has the legs for a kilt. Oh my! But he'd still look silly in one. But oh yeah, he's got great legs. And tushy. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

I'm up, mostly because I'm hoping my ankle will stop hurting before I go to bed. Wish I knew what the blue blazes I did to make it so mad at me...

But he's so brown, kq, and with his long bushy beard and his long curly hair (which is now only down to his shoulders - had to cut it for his parents), he looks more like a fundamental Islamic terrorist, and that's what would make him look silly in a kilt. But a kurta - yowsa! Move over, Saif Ali Khan and Shahrukh Khan!

That's what I said. Jeff would look silly in a kurta. Fahim would look silly in a kilt. But get the right coloring going with the right article of clothing, and there you are.

Took some advil. I'm familiar with the RICE treatment for such things (rest-ice-compression-elevation), but I don't see any handy way to perform said treatment where I normally sleep, unfortunately. I may at least be able to ice it. Wouldn't my wife be surprised to find my feet were colder than hers in the morning!
Thanks, ketchupqueen.
How do I feed my ankle chocolates, quid? Or do I just offer them, on the premise that it's the thought that counts? Posts: 3826 | Registered: May 2005
