My.body.will.not.fall.asleep. I am so tired but my body is so wired . This sucks .

[SeattleGirl]

1. Tired and wired -- I know that one too!

Have you thought of taking an OTC sleeping aide, just to help you this one time to get to sleep?

I'm sorry you're having a bad time, CP. And look, I know we haven't talked a whole lot on DU, but I am giving you a sincere invitation -- please PM me if you need to talk, vent, cry, or whatever. You seem like such a wonderful person, and I hate to see you going through this crap.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

3. Thank you ...

:)

[SeattleGirl]

5. You're welcome.

:pals:

[Bullwinkle925]

2. Take a Tylenol PM....

listen to a soothing CD - perhaps one with nature sounds and a dark, dark room.


Good luck.

4. Have you got the brain crud?

You know, that icky feeling your brain gets after 24+ hours without sleep? That's the worst part, the brain crud. It's like acid buildup on your cerebellum. You can't think straight anymore because your brain feels icky.

6. Pick a stage!

Tired

So tired you have energy again

So tired you're tired again

So tired you are queasy, sort of smoooving through life

So tired you're starting to get sick or delusional

"Father Mick" Stage where your brain becomes suggestible (So called because a friend changed personalities to Father Mick in that stage)

Obstinate but still don't want to sleep stage

Woozy again stage

Narcolepsy Now! (Que ride of the Valkyries)

7. Send me some o' what you got

'Bout all I've done today is sleep. :eyes:

Not really a bad thing, considering the weather. But still...

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

8. You don't want what I got at all LOL .

The weather here is warm . And I want it to be COLD - I wasted money on all these sweaters and I want to strut in them ala Heidi Klum . I am so not ready to sweat . I think Sunday , its supposed to be 80 degrees . In March ? Weird weather . Loco El Nino .

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. The hell I don't!

We got rain, hail, wind and coldness... and snow down to like 2,000 feet. :scared:

At 3:30 today it was 44 — most unseemly for central Kollyforniya.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

10. I need some snow .

This is some weird weather here . Please let it snow . I have'nt seen any since ... I think 2004 when I was in Germany .

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Trade ya weathers

I'd say "Trade ya places," but that would put me in... hey, wait! I got a good friend there! You might even know her by name; she used to be a cops reporter for the News & Record.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

12. Yeah I know the News & Record .

its liberal .

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Not in a HR sense, it ain't

They pushed her out because she's (a.) female, and (b.) overweight. Her writing was impeccable, and they replaced her with some bozo who'd never covered the cops beat.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

14. We need her back ...

because the police force here has a scandal . There was an organization within the police force itself that kept a secret black book on black police officers , keeping an eye on everything they did . The police chief denied any knowledge of it - he knew , he liked and resigned . Bunch of mess .

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. She was telling me about that

She had some background information from her sources at the PD and was talking about writing about it before she quit. It's possible that her editors didn't want her to write it, because such scandals put a lot of pressure on newspapers.

Now she's a CSI with the department. :rofl:

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

17. c'mon out to the great NorthWest... we had snow today!

MMNot a lot, mind you, but I think you could get some mileage out of those sweaters!

[democracyindanger]

16. Count sheep. I know, where to find sheep at this hour?

At freerepublic.com, obviously.

[havocmom]

18. Me too. Tired, wired and not gonna get over the flu with complications

if I can't talk my bod into shutting down. Was really exhuasted at the beginning, then too misrable to sleep. Now wired but part of it is the meds they gave me. I'll have an atypical reaction to just about anything.

Gotta get some sleep... gotta get over this

[In_The_Wind]

19. Did you call your doctor ???

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

20. Yes I called the doctor .

She told me it was a panic attack and I finally got some sleep . About 8 hours worth of sleep .

[Strong Atheist]

21. GET A COPY OF "BEING AND TIME", by

Martin Heidegger. Then get comfy in bed, and start reading. You have to make an HONEST attempt to understand it, there will be a quiz tomorrow...

At most, one or two pages, and then ...:boring:

It is like this:
