I know why I'm still up: I made the mistake of turning a movie on at midnight, and one that I was certainly not going to find relaxing enough to fall asleep in the middle of.

kq mentioned that she's been having pregnancy-induced insomnia. And Geoff, I think, is part vampire.

Is that everyone? It seemed like more . . .

I'm a college student...

But then, I'm in the Eastern timezone. So I guess I don't count.

I'm an insomniac pregnant lady chatting with a friend in Sri Lanka. [Big Grin]

Miro, are you up early, or still awake? If you're still awake, you count -- as someone even crazier than the rest of us! [Wink]

kq, I was just chatting with someone in Australia. Convenient having friends for whom the-middle-of-the-night . . . isn't. [Big Grin]

I'm still awake! I'm a college student on the east coast, too... oh essays. [Frown]

Just woke up fifteen minutes ago. o_O Right OFF.

I'm in the early evening, about to head off to make din-din.

Or, um, heat it up, at any rate.

I'm an insomniac and I just had a friend in...we watched two movies and then an episode of a TV show...yeah...we're both insomniacs.
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
Yay insomnia! *thrusts fist in air*

Oh... Wait...

I think I ought to go to bed.

Still up. [Smile] And yes, I am crazy. And stupid.

Mmmph. But did you end up with less than three hours of sleep, and several minutes late to work?
 
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
 
I'm so happy I don't work... *whistles innocently*
 
Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
 
No, I just managed to sleep through my classes. Hence me being up again. It's a vicious cycle.

Insomnia sucks. That much I know. Sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks. Sucks.
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
Well, sometimes I manage to get some ironing or something done.

I am NOT happy about being up right now.

Too much on my mind. [Frown]

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
Ela, have you been up all night? Isn't it, like, 6 there?
 
Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
 
No, I woke up about 15 minutes ago and couldn't fall back asleep.
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
Oh. That's somewhat better. But I'm sorry.
 
Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
 
Nothing to be sorry about. I'm sort of sorry I posted. I should just go back to sleep.
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
Yeah, fifteen minutes ago? I was wondering a bit about that. [Wink]

Of course, I shouldn't talk. *points to 10,000 post landmark*

Cheese whiz.

Go back to sleep. Really. Inadequate sleep is not good.
 
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
 
I hope you fell back asleep. [Frown]

I think people in general (mmm, sweeping generalization) don't realize how nice it is to just...fall asleep and sleep through the night (7 or more hours) without insomnia or frequent waking or whatever, until they've had a particularly nasty bout of insomnia (or having an infant, that I wouldn't know) and sleep is this holy grail that you can't seem to reach anymore.

Seroquel has been my grail. Blessed, blessed seroquel.

I'll trade a few hours of sleeping time for a few hours of awake time with one of you.

Last night, the damned lizards on the roof had a wrestling competition. Or maybe they were learning to rhumba. I dunno - but for a while there, I thought the roof was going to cave in.

Fahim, of course, slept through it all.

I, of course, did not. [Frown]

I took something and went back to sleep after my early dawn episode of sleeplessness.

Slept till about 10 am.
