The Drakon Project--Insomnia

[Mr Sparkle]

Even, you know the male stereotype, about rolling over and falling asleep the second you're done having sex?
I'm jealous as f***. I have no idea what that would be like.
I just lay there afterwards trying to hold still out of courtesy, sometimes for an hour or more, listening to her snore contented snores.

sucks ass.

this made me laugh because

A) picturing Wil perfectly "still"
B) the implication of "contented snores" which either means "she's happy cuz she's asleep" or "she's happy because of my huge wang"

. I'm going to wake her up a little later and make her go in the bedroom so she doesn't hurt her neck from sleeping on the couch all night.

weird. after 8 hours at my girlfriends office last night i finally took a short nap on the couch. When i woke up my neck was totally effed up.

She ended up not wanting to get up, so I let her sleep, but got her my blanket and pillow.

there were no blankets or pillows at my fiancee's office.
man, this sucks. I didn't even plan on taking a real nap, but of course, since it was an unfamiliar sleeping arrangement, i fell asleep in 5 minutes flat.

Update--2:38PM EST

The Groggy is starting to set in. I've not ate or drank much in the time I have been up [2 Egg Sandwiches and a pack of Pop-Tarts], and I did 30 pushups and situps x 2.

Greetings, one and all. As most of you who speak to me outside of the Hype already realize [as well as those of you who consistantly see me here], I suffer from insomnia. It's been a battle I've fought with off and on for well over ten years [and I'm only 22 ]. Sometimes, I can sleep for an hour and that keeps me awake for DAYS, others I can sleep for days and it keeps me up for an hour. This is what this thread is for.

I want to keep an online record of my sleeping patterns. This thread will last one week, as to get a good idea as to when I generally fall asleep, and when I generally wake up. I'll also toss in some of my day's activities and diet from time to time, [nothing specific, of course--a man's gotta keep SOME secrets ]

I ask you all to PLEASE keep the Loungechat in the Lounge--this isn't a chat thread. And I ask my fellow SHH! Staffers to please not merge this with the lounge, or any of the other insomnia threads.

I understand this sometimes I suffer from insomnia it drives my partner mad. I have tried a number of remedies, none are satisfactory except GHB and I worry about side effects using that.

3:14. I've decided to lie down in an attempt to sleep.

 

[Drakon]

****ing figures. I make an insomnia thread---and then I sleep like a log for the first time in two months. Chances are, that's gonna be about the only sleep I'm gonna get for a while.

From 3:30pm to 4:10am
