SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 So, it's 6:19am and I am still wide awake. This has happened for the past few nights now, not been able to get to sleep before 1am for about 2 years either. Help me?
ericofarabia Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Move to America so that what is 1am UK time is say 9 or 10PM on the east coast, an early night, job done. Failing that knock a quick one out - if women are to be believed men will be asleep nano seconds after spurtage!!
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 I've decided to combat lack of sleep by making a tuna sandwich and watching a Richard Pryor DVD. Best. Morning. Ever.
rallyboy Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 get Theo to come round and read his autobiography to you.
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 Are you on drugs by any chance? Unfortunately not, that would be a valid excuse. And fun.
cryoman1965 Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 I had a simular sleep issue. There are herbal sleeping tablets you can get from the chemist. They slow the over activity of the brain allowing you relax quicker. They will help your body clock adjust to a sleep pattern you are happy with.

After about the 5th time you'll be sleeping like a baby smashed on gin.
dune Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 They slow the over activity of the brain allowing you relax quicker. This wouldn't affect Mikey.

Turkish Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 I'd add Wes Tender to that list. Agreed. And Chez.
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 Still awake, hearing noises upstairs now. On further inspection, there's nothing up there except my washing. Lucky I bought that baseball bat a week ago (the neighbours were burgaled, I didn't buy it willy nilly).
hamster Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Be at ease with with your sleep pattern. Many insomniacs are embarrased by it but it really is okay. It won't kill you. It can be a sign of a busy mind, which as a tax payer is just what I want from a student. I pray that no one starts.on about famous insomniacs as someone always mentions Thatcher. That wasn't insomnia, it was.her conscience, the nasty woman.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 The great Louis Armstrong once claimed that "insomnia is the lack of gratitude" - in which case I must have been a particuarily ungrateful person for many years now. To any younger insomniacs out there ..... it gets worst with age.
dune Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 It could be because you're missing home. Or it could be because you're not eating properly.
Thedelldays Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Maybe if you stopped posting on here that you are awake, it might help you nod off? supermikey only needs 2 hours sleep....
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 Maybe if you stopped posting on here that you are awake, it might help you nod off? Tried to sleep, don't feel tired at all. It could be because you're missing home. Or it could be because you're not eating properly. Going home for a week tomorrow, i'll be all healed up before you know it.
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 I've realised that the noise that I thought was coming from upstairs was actually some builders who are working on a neighbouring house unloading stuff from their van across the road. Could've saved me 10 minutes stalking around an empty student house in my pants with a baseball bat in my hand if I had realised that sooner.

SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 Are you suffering from paranoia? I think I may be having a flashback...
Thedelldays Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 have you been chewing on the inside of your cheek all night..?
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 No Jamie, i'm not a gurner. And i've also not taken any drugs.
hamster Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Take up golf. Go through your set up and hit a few shots mentally, works for me usually.
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 I used to play golf. My short game was appalling, everything else was okay. I could drive a ball further than somebody at the club who was about to turn pro
hamster Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Seriously mikey, try the golf visualisation. If you ever fancy 9 holes at the muni, is be up for it mush.
dune Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Have you got your wristbands? A bit like a teddy or a security blanket, it might be something this simple.
SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2011 Author Posted 20 August, 2011 I'm going to sleep after the match later, get an early night in (or an obscenely late one depending on how you look at it). Duney boy, you underestimate me. I always wear my wristbands. Had one of them on for 4 years. I'm going to get dressed and take a walk round Highfield.

Good idea, that me time at the match should relax you. I now have an image of super mikey, naked except for his wrist bands.

hamster Posted 28 August, 2011 Posted 28 August, 2011 There's more to this than you are letting on sunshine, its Sunday, get your lazy arse down to the confessional pronto.
SuperMikey Posted 28 August, 2011 Author Posted 28 August, 2011 I think this time it was probably more down to drinking 4 cups of coffee while watching the footy highlights, and then staying up and watching several hour-long episodes of Breaking Bad... I'll go to Boots on Burgess Road tomorrow and see what they can recommend.
scotty Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Me too, but I'm jetlagged. Takes me weeks to readjust.
SuperMikey Posted 30 August, 2011 Author Posted 30 August, 2011 Go anywhere that was worth the jet-lag?
scotty Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 New York. And yes, it was well worth it. Sightseeing: done. The Tubes in concert: done. Earthquake: done. Hurricane: just missed
SuperMikey Posted 30 August, 2011 Author Posted 30 August, 2011 That's a shame, you didn't get the full US of A experience if you didn't live through a mis-managed natural disaster
dune Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 Has this sleeplessness occured since you left the shire?
SuperMikey Posted 30 August, 2011 Author Posted 30 August, 2011 Is that a Hobbit joke or do you mean Hampshire? I'm back in Southampton now.
dune Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 I'm here to help Mikey, and the similarities between yourself and Frodo are there for all to see. It seems to me that the weight of your genious is beginning to weigh heavily on your mind.

SuperMikey Posted 30 August, 2011 Author Posted 30 August, 2011 Your superiority is indisputable Mikey. I'll get you some wristbands or something if it will make you feel better about yourself Dune.
dune Posted 30 August, 2011 Posted 30 August, 2011 I'll get you some wristbands or something if it will make you feel better about yourself Dune. That would be amazing. Do they glow in the dark?
SuperMikey Posted 30 August, 2011 Author Posted 30 August, 2011 That would be amazing. Do they glow in the dark? 2 of them do, the other 6 don't.
