Blah can't sleep! · 7:04am Jan 6th, 2014
Do you hate the feeling when you felt like you slept for hours but wake to find out you've slept for 30 mins - 1 hour?
I just went through that now thanks to my sister and her boyfriend! I fell asleep at 10:00 pm then woke up at 11:30pm. Now I can't go back to sleep. Thanks to the snow we just got Yesterday morning there is no school for today. Which is probably why my sisters boyfriend wanted to talk. If only she understand that I can hear her laugh and her room is across the hall from mine. I want to get my body clock back to normal. This is why I don't stay up past 10:00 at night! Maybe if I watch some boomerang maybe I can catch Teen Titans ... Nah maybe an episode of pony instead. Blah, g'night. Tiger out.

I've done that! We got snow out here too so we aren't going to have school so my friends and I had a giant sleepover :3!
1688552 wow, that sounds fun. We had enough snow to cover the roads and I live in a town where most of the students live in the country.
Now I'm wide awake watching dexters laboratory.
1688632
Same out here where we live! Its so icey that we didn't even get to the beginning of the day after it snowed and our school had called and said school was cancelled!
1688633 I had my share of icy weather. We recently got out of an ice storm. But this is the first dry snow we had in a while. Which is nice, but this by far the coldest winter we had in a while.
1688645
Ours wasnt that bad but right now it like 3 below and were all frozen.
1688649
3 Below! Dang!
We only get that by windchill! Our low along with hard north winds we were at sixteen degrees! And I was freezing in my own house. ( I blame our windows)
1688659
Blame the windows! All of them! We wish it was wind chill! We took a shirt dunked in in scorching hot water and stuck it outside for 2 minutes. Now we have a shirt sled!
1688665
Whoa,
Compared to how our summers here in Oklahoma are hot enough to cook an egg on the sidewalk, that frozen shirt is impressive. And new to me.
1688677
Guess what.. Were one state above you :3!
1688679 oh wow, well of course your colder than we are! And you got more snow than us!
1688687
Yup! Oh look its 5 below.... dang...... I'd better log off before the computer patrol (my friends) tell me to shut it off! It was nice talking to you! And try to sleep!
1688693 yeah. Nice talking to you too. I'll try and catch some sleep.
I know the feeling. My brother (!! y/o kid) has a temper and playing the new CoD:Ghosts online on his PS3 doesn't help. I usually just wait till he goes to sleep to go to sleep myself. He can't stay up as long as me, ever.
Also, if you can't sleep just you can't get to sleep, I recommend just meditating. Not like the whole 'cross-legged, arms out, humming "ummmmmm.....ummmmmmm.....ummmmmm", I mean just sitting still and spacing out.
Now, about that complaining of the cold. I live in Texas, so the weather never knows what to do with itself. It's either searing hot or 'You're gonna freeze to death in two seconds'. Since my house has next to no insulation and we have only a few heaters to heat up the place, right now it's around 40 degrees Fahrenheit in each room that has heaters in them.
Wow, this is the longest comment I've ever done. Hope you find happiness in my misery so that your misery doesn't seem so bad.
1688772 wow, yeah we have heaters in my room, my sisters room, then there's one for our living room, but the dining room windows are like large and they're the cheap variety. It was a plan to replace them but we haven't done so yet . We lived in this house for close to 11 years.
Compared to those that live up north I'm probably a sissy for being cold in 20 degree weather.
Thanks for the sleep tip, I actually fell asleep at 4 am. I think that Texas toast I had with my dinner was too much for my stomach. Blagh. That's one of he reasons why I couldn't go back to sleep last night.
I might try napping today I know I won't get work done. Or maybe I might try and finish editing ch 1 of my western story.
1689074 Don't eat anything an hour or so before sleeping. It's got something to do with your body metabolizing the food, using energy to do so, so that your body can't exactly 'rest'. That's probably why you couldn't sleep, besides the racket of siblings.
1690234 That's the funny thing, I ate at six and didn't go to bed until 8:30 . . . I think. But yeah I don't usually eat before I jump in bed. Heck I don't even eat before 7:00 pm.
1690245 Hmm, have you tried just putting in some earphones with smooth music going on. I usually listen to Lullaby for a Princess, Luna's Reply, and the Duet Version. It's not loud or fast, but anything classical can help people fall asleep. It also helps get the creative part of the brain going (although that might just be me, I get most of my ideas for stuff right before I go to sleep
)
1690374 yeah I usually do that before sleeping. And yeah listening to music does help a lot in planning my stories. For instance the music from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimerron, I listen to Run Free a lot, and listening to that gave me an idea of a horse chase and rescue in the story.
1690498 But do you leave the earphones in as you go to sleep, or do you take them out? I leave them in so that when I listen to those songs it helps me go to sleep. It's the whole 'Sub-conscious' thing. I accidentally left the wrong songs on while going to sleep for a few days, now I can't listen to those songs without getting a bit drowsy
.
1690554 I take them off.
after a while the ear buds make my ears sore.
Once I left them in when I took a nap. I listened to Ryan Kelly from Celtic Thunder singing Hunter's Moon. Beautiful song by the way and it lulled me to sleep. Only for maybe thirty minutes.
