I can't sleep. Ask me anything, I guess.

[LeftyMom]

I have to wake up for work in 3 and a half hours. At this point I might as well stay awake, but I have class tonight, so that means I can't crash until 9 or so. Unless I fall asleep in class, which I'd rather not. If it's getting to that point I'll leave early instead, it's less disrespectful.

Dang it, it would be so much easier if my body would only cooperate with today's schedule. :grr:

1. The answer is coffee shortly before the class

Normally I don't drink coffee. When I came back from my last trip to the US I arrived in Frankfurt 8 in the morning and went straight to work. I had a coffee at lunch and that helped me through the afternoon.

2. Caffine and my digestion don't make for a happy couple.

I could eat something a bit sugary, that might help a bit.

3. Darn

so no coke either. Cut yourself in the finer and sprinkle salt in the wound??? That ought to keep you awake ... not the best idea though ....

[LeftyMom]

4. I think I can only hope there's no video tonight

If the classroom goes dark I'm done for.

5. What kind of class is it?

ask for a discussion round .....

6. Astronomy.

It's usually mostly powerpoint and lecture.

7. Can you skip it?

or will you lose too much information if you skip it?

8. It's a three hour long summer class, so it would be like missing a whole week

If I can't stay awake I'll go and leave early, but I really need to try to stay for the whole thing.

9. The best way to fall asleep when you can't is to try to stay AWAKE.

Cheap psychological trick I picked up a while back. Go lie down and try it.

10. I went to bed about 12 midnight...

tossed and turned and rubbed my eyes for 4-4 1/2 hours (bad allergies) and then saw that it was close to 5am and said "fuck it" and woke up and got online. I have a full 7a-4pm day today plus a workout with my trainer afterwards. Might just cancel the workout and come home for a nap but knowing him he'd come knocking at my door.
