Enjoying Insomnia

i'm a frosh in college right now and i swear i haven't got a decent night of sleep since i got here. most days i'm up until 4 or 5 at least, even when i have 930 classes (i don't function well on little sleep most of the time)
however, lately i've come to realize that sometimes when i'm up far later than i should be, i end up kinda enjoying the random delerium that comes with overexhaustion
i was just watched futurama, which i've always liked, but god, it was hilarious
and right now i'm listening to Deadsy/Deepsky - The Mansion World [Deepsky's Trippin' in Unknown Territory Mix] and omggggg its blowing my mind
i can finally just sit and concentrate on one thing when i get to this point, even if its completely irrelevant and useless, as it often is
i always used to consider myself a very low energy person, but i feel like i usually have too much mental energy to concentrate on one thing unless i'm really interested in it (ADD, what have you, never liked having a scapegoat because 99% of the time i can overocme it by myself)
and even though i sat down to start this paper about 10 hours ago, and i'm really just started to actually do any serious work on it, i feel like i'm focused and ready and i'll probably be done in an hour or so
can anyone else relate or am i just the odd one out here?

I hear you mean, this morning I woke up at 5am, after only 5h of sleep, and I tossed and turned untill 10.. during that I also spent an hour behind PC.. I've had this problem for last month for sure.
I had gf problem as you could read from my other thread, and it's not helping me at all.. I hope I get over it soon before I won't sleep at all

I've been having problems with Insomnia recently because I got put on Prozac. I can only pull off 5 hours a night, which leaves me very little REM, and cuts back my dreaming, then limiting my lucid dreaming abilities. It's pissing me off - alot. My pal says it has something to do with my schizophrenia and anixety medication together, but blah. I want to sleeeeeeeeep!

i hatee insomnia! luickly i havent had a case of it in ages.

i'm a freshman too and i have a chemistry final in 2 hours. i had drunken sleep last night from 4am to 12pm and i've been up since.. i'm actually pretty wired while i review my old tests. finals week is going to prove to be a bitch. some coke would prove really useful this week.

i hear you brotha...its about 4am and im chilllin listening to some james holden...its nice...break in the clouds during a light drizzle outside.

oh man! lou reed - perfect day just started playing in itunes. it's crazy to look out my little prison window at other lights on in other dorms and just smile knowing the test i'll have to take is gonna be hard as mc hammer. oh well. for some reason today is gonna kick ass.

ditto

edit: nevermind
hybrid right now
yessss
hybrid - sinequanon
god...that track owns me
right at like 510 when it goes into like the 3rd breakdown with the major riff that sounds like its on a rhodes or something.....aaaah drives me nuts
wish i knew french though...

I find that i need atleast 4 hours of sleep otherwise im brain dead, usually after a hot shower and a good bite to eat im fine. At uni i usuually try to get the 8 hours that people say you need, but its often impossible due to living in community halls which are noisy 24/7.

I usually just chill out to some dvds and then wait until i fall asleep. Beers are quiet good for making you tired, although i dont want to turn into an alcaholic, so i limit myself (shock shock horror shock).

Also i think it depends what your doing, and how much you are interested in something, i find that no matter how many hours of sleep and coffee i take, if something is boring it is boring, and i wont devote any serious time to it.

i'm on noel sanger - carry on right now.

this is turning into a "what are you listening to" thread pretty damn quick.

I've got on Biosphere - The Silent Orchestra...owns any of your commercial 'prog' :D

Anyways, salsa and tortialla chips for breakfast here.

hahahaha. for some reason the word prog is making me laugh my ass off.

two thumbs up to that
though it just feels like any other snack
but its 730, and i think thats around when normal people fix breakfast
heh i had easy mac at like 4 in the morning
bleh

and word to the wise: never ever ever eat easy mac and drink swiss miss hot chocolate
i have no idea how or why, but you'll have gas within about two minutes of consumption
its the weirdest thing ever

I have http://67.19.78.90:8096 on right now, my fav internet stream...Sleepbot. Tune in, throw your headphones on, and reeeeeelax. Nothing beats ambient. Tough now since its early morning, rather cheesey (not production wise or anything) stuff is playing. :/ Night hours is the best for drone stuff, at the moment it's cycling alot of vocal junk.

i keep hearing the garbage truck emptying dumpsters around campus. it's been about an hour and a half and they haven't gotten the one outside my window. what the hell is so fascinating about seeing those huge dumpsters be lifted up in the air and shaken violently until all the shit in them comes out?

that's kinda like me and coke in the morning. 10 minutes after drinking it i gotta take the worst shit ever. i'm drinking one right now though and nothing's going wrong in there.. my body just thinks it's any old time in the evening i guess.

update
so seeing as i feel like living hell right now, i got out trusty ol' MSPaint and graphed out exactly why:

The Kraft Dinner? That shit is nasty dood. :[

What sucks, I only slept 4 hours last night, so I slept all day today, meaning I'll be up all night, bored, whoring it out here. :/

i ended up taking my final and then falling asleep around 11. slept till 4.. 'twas nice.

welcome to college... we all go through it... sleep whenever just not in class

Blah, has nothing to do with school for me. I quit (high)school 3 years ago and I'm a fan of college. It's all the medications I'm on. They fuck ya up. ;/
