Anyone else having trouble falling asleep?

[GingerSnaps]

I have classes in the morning and I promised that I would go back. My College had a talk with the Professor that got into an argument over Bush vs Kerry so I don't think that I will catch any flack from him tomorrow. If the right wing sisters start up I am afraid that I might go off on them.

I am so sleepy but I can't fall to sleep. :boring:

[GingerSnaps]

5. Something that I don't get enough of ...

6. Me neither. Did you make your cake?

Eating can make you sleepy they say!

8. I had ginger snap cookies

I changed my name and I couldn't think of anything to change it to so I picked ginger snaps.

The both of you are making me hungry for cake.

:hug:

9. No I am making the cake on Tuesday night :)

Its 4:50 am EST LOL - If I made it now I would never sleep . I have turned to baking to cure my depression over the elections .

7. I see I'm not the only one living the sleep optional lifestyle ... (n/t)

10. God...I am going the other way...

I thought I wouldn't go to sleep, but instead I am sleeping harder and longer than ever. Sleeping so hard that I feel sick and "strange" when I wake up. I sleep to escape the news broadcasts except AAR. I will not listen to the major media. The minute I hear their voices I turn the tv to mute or off.

I made a cheap box cake Wednesday and nearly ate the entire thing myself.

I had lung cancer (in remission) and I started smoking again after two years of being off. I can hardly breath. I have to control this...it's crazy...

11. ugg

this may sound weird...

but I'm afraid of sleeping.
have this image of falling asleep and waking up in Hitler times or waking up a freeper....or waking up with no memorys..or waking up as a bigot man...

And i love to have my brain active.
I'm 1 that trys to think in her sleep.
I'd go to sleep to look forward to dreams,but i can't remember my dreams! :cry:

16. Hey ... cut that out

Look, I'll make a deal with ya. I'll quit smoking if you back off the shit. I wanna quit anyway ... sounds like we could both use a nicotine withdrawl buddy.

[itzamirakul]

19. Yeah, we both need to drop the sticks...

I already donated half of my right lung to the habit and the emphysema is rotten...you can hear your own wheezing...it's horrible...but Tuesday evening I had this uncontrollable urge and my mind wandered to cigarettes and I followed it...Now, four packs later...DAMN!

[The Traveler]

20. Let's take our anger out on the Republican tobacco companies

and drop the filthy weeds!

Besides, I'd like for us both to be around in 2008 and clink glasses as we celebrate the restoration of democratic process to Presidential elections.

21. ^5

Let's DO IT! :)

i was on my way out the door to pick up a pack right now, but i am going to stay online and try to keep my mind off smoking for as long as possible. I can sometimes go a full day, but then one thought will hit me and I am puffing away again...Gotta use some mind control on myself!

12. Didn't see this thread...Or I wouldn't have started my own.

Going back to get rid of the dupe right now.

[Maddy McCall]

13. Yes....38 hours and counting for me.

I have to be up in an hour anyway. I couldn't sleep last night, and I graded papers all night the night before.

The last time my eyes were shut was Sunday afternoon at 3:00 PM. By the time I get home this afternoon, it will be 4:30 PM, and then I am going to bed.

I have been up for almost 38 hours now. I'm past the point of exhausted.

Anyone else not able to sleep?

[2008]

15. you could seriously collapse

I once fell to the ground -- just fell asleep from a standing position -- after only about 30 hours.

[Maddy McCall]

17. No--I have way too much to do today.

I tried to sleep but can't. :(

[2008]

18. well be cafeful

14. manic

22. All the time.

It has nothing to do with the election. It only acerbated the problem.
