I couldn't fall asleep at all last night... which sucks because today is the first day of school. It is 7:12 right now and I have to leave in about 48 minutes to catch the bus so I can get to class by 10 o'clock. I better buy myself a Pepsi if I want to make it through the day. Hopefully my drawing class doesn't start any projects yet so I can get out at 1:15. I'm sure by then I'll drop like a rock once I get back home.

Well, the first day has gone by and I made it through the day using a Pepsi and a Mountain Dew. Funny how I thought I would fall dead asleep when I got home but I'm actually not tired at all right now. My record of being awake has been 27 hours and so for I've been up for about 25 hours. Let see if I could go further, hehe

Is there a right time to have insomnia?

Yes, when you're in the middle of watching something like "Insomniac".

Yesterday I was watching Big Fish again and I started to fall asleep on my couch, but I kept fighting to stay awake. I guess I must of fell asleep because I woke up half way through the credits. Anyway I haul my arse up to my room and I am super tired, but it was like once I hit the bed I was wide awake and sweating and just bleh. I didn't fall asleep for an hour or two after that.

Bad Times

I hate it when I can't sleep.

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

I hardly get sleepless nights. I usually am the heavy sleeper type ... stay up late, sleep late.

I've experienced this too. I think one of the main reasons is when you're watching a movie or TV, you're just WATCHING, not really thinking about it or anything else. But when you get to bed you just lying there, and it gives your mind the possibility to wander, and that is what keeps you awake; thinking about stuff.

Sleep is a fickle thing...

Last week I picked up a friend from Canada to come down and visit. It's a ten hour drive there and back, and it sucks.

So the day before I went, I go to bed around midnight to get some rest for the drive. Five hours later, I haven't slept a wink. I eventually doze off, only to be woken up again around 7, and I am wide awake. More awake than I am on weekend mornings.* I make it through the whole trip and the rest of the day completely fine, working on ~2 hours of sleep, but (seemingly) completely awake and focused.

So a week later, I go to bed around midnight again before I have to drive him back. I fall asleep sometime before 1, and wake up again around 7. I am a mess...can barely open my eyes, it almost hurts to pull myself out of bed...I'm a zombie. Later on in the day, my brother and our friend are both asleep in the car while I'm driving, the inside of the car is really warm, the radio is on kind of quietly, and then that damn John Mayer "body is a wonderland" song comes on, and the next thing I know the car is jumping up and down over the bumps on the lines in the freeway, and I realize my eyes are closed. Luckily my brother thought to pack some Dr. Pepper's for the trip...I quickly downed a few of those, which actually didn't help a whole lot. (Oh, and I guess "luckily we all didn't die," too.) I did make it through the trip without any other incidents, though, but it was a struggle.

So yeah, I don't know how that sleep thing works. I've been wide awake after only a couple hours of sleep before, and then sometimes I can barely crawl out of bed after 10 or 11 hours of sleep...it's weird. Maybe it's something to do with the sleep cycles or...emotions...or something? I don't know.

You have to leave at eight to get to school at ten? Jeez, the Riverside County Transit system is terrible.

Tyler--anything from like 1-4 hours is called a power nap--it gives you a crapload of energy, and is a general pick-me-up. After that, it's your guess as to whether you'll be rested or not.

With insomnia you're never really asleep; your never really awake.

You know how that works, though, Yoshi? I mean, you'd think it'd be safe to assume that the more you sleep, the more rested you are/feel...

And I know that there are cycles of sleep everyone goes through that last a few hours or something, REM and all that...but if power naps are the result of these cycles, are there like...intervals of "prime wake-up time?" Like, every four hours or something, you wake up during that part of sleep and you feel more awake?

It's very interesing, anyway.
