Insomnia can go fuck itself. Seriously.
I have a final at 8 am. It will take me 45 minutes to drive there in traffic.

It's 2:08 am. I can't sleep.

At this point, I'm probably better off staying up. I function better on no sleep than less than four hours.

4. On nights that I can't
sleep, I certainly get a lot of reading done. But then I pay for it in the afternoon. Around three o'clock, I could just lay my head down on my desk and nap.

Good luck with your finals.

:hug:

8. I'm the same way.
I could have gone to bed at 6:00 am and got up at 11:00 am to go pay a bill, or I could stay up and pay it before I go to bed.

I decided to stay up. I had no trouble keeping myself awake after I FINALLY got sleepy at 7:30 this morning. I just played Runescape and smashed my head on my keyboard to continue.

Note: If anyone here plays Runescape and has a gout tuber they'd sell me, I'll pay the max price + whatever their trade limit is for it. That's all I need, other than to grow a new papaya tree, in order to finish up the Medium Tasks for the Karamja Achievement Diary. I'm so tired of Broodoo Spirits throwing shitty stat draining magic spells at me and making me run for my life like a scared n00b. I'm tired of whacking jungle bushes and dropping thatching spars too. It's annoying. I just need that gout tuber and I'll be on my way.

9. I never function better on no sleep than none, even 15 minutes will do me a lot of good
compared to none.

11. I wish it would go fuck itself.
Then maybe it would wear itself out and go to sleep. :\

12. Reminds me of the five levels of drinking by Larry Miller.
And here, at level four, you actually think to yourself, "Well....as long as I'm only going to get a few hours sleep anyway, I may as well.... STAY UP ALL NIGHT!!!! Yeah! That'd be good for me. I don't mind going to that board meeting looking like Keith Richards. Yeah, I'll turn that around, make it work for me. And besides, as long as I get 31 hours sleep tomorrow ...................cool.

13. With my apnea, I feel better on a few than 8 or 9
Even with my C-PAP. It's frustrating, because I was on a regular 8-9 hour schedule before the apnea got worse.
