Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, February 28, 2005, 18:04:37 any advice? i've been going to bed around 4am and not waking until 1 or 2pm, got out of bed at 3:30 today ;/
i've thought about staying up all night but i'd probably fall asleep eventually. anyone know a quick fix? Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 28, 2005, 18:07:30 get a job :wink:
I've no idea, my sleep patterns are always fucked up - i went to bed at 3.30 am and woke up at 9am. I find getting up for something useful helps (to get me up at a reasonable time) but 2am is about the time i go to bed usually. Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 28, 2005, 18:11:51 you could try waking up really early (like at 7am) thus having a few hours sleep. You'll be tired in the evening then!
OR leave the curtains ajar, thus shining bright light onto your face in the morning. Soon enough, you're bound to get used to the earlier starts and will feel tired sooner Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Barry Potter on Monday, February 28, 2005, 18:29:28 Get up earlier and go to bed earlier,it's not rocket science. :roll:
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, February 28, 2005, 18:37:44 half the problem is that i have nothing worth getting out of bed for, my alarm will go off at 9am and i'll turn it off and lie in bed for an hour then fall asleep again. i need some motivation and/or something to force me back into a routine.
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 28, 2005, 18:41:44 yeah i know that freeling, plenty of early starts for me at uni now though. doesn't help that it's cold as well, bed is lovely and warm.
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, February 28, 2005, 18:50:09 I rarely go to bed before 3am and haven't done for a few years. I don't really get tired in the evenings so only go to bed before 3 if I know I have to be up really early. I'm always really tired in the mornings but at least I can stay out till 3am and not be tired. I do most of my work in the evenings too.
In the summer I was working 3 till 8 pm so I normally woke up in just in time for the 1.40 neighbours. These days I probably get up around 10am on average, getting up at 7 is a killer but even if I do get up at 7 I get gradually less tired throughout the day so I still go to bed late. I don't think there is a quick fix. Mornings are shit really, it's cold and nothing happens, evenings are great. Tv is better, pubs are open then clubs are open. Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Turbo on Monday, February 28, 2005, 19:23:10 I had the same problem and found it very frustrating when they said there isnt a quick fix. If you want the advice i was given which i couldn't be bothered to take it was:
Never stay in bed if you cant get to sleep, it will confuse your body. Only use your room for sleeping (no pc), this wil tell your body you want to go to sleep when you enter your room eventually. Make sure when you go to sleep it is completely dark in your room. Im not really sorted out right now, it tends to be that if i go to bed late and get 4/5 hours sleep, i then get 9 hours sleep the next night, then because ive had so much sleep i cant get to sleep and end up having 4/5 hours again. Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: yeo on Monday, February 28, 2005, 19:55:07 There is only one answer Sonic and that is Alcohol,I got up at 2 today to take the dog out for an hour came home and fell asleep on the sofa and have just woken up.
How am I going to sleep tonight? 1 cases of Stella chilling in the fridge and 1 waiting to go in. 8) Title: Re: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, February 28, 2005, 20:21:36 Quote from: "sonicyouth" any advice? i've been going to bed around 4am and not waking until 1 or 2pm, got out of bed at 3:30 today ;/ a frequently encountered problem as a student.i've thought about staying up all night but i'd probably fall asleep eventually. anyone know a quick fix? two nights ago, i sat down to play football manager at 4am. when i next looked outside it was bright and 7am; i went to bed. last night i managed 4.30am for a 10.47am start, and tomorrow i have a presentation to give at 11 so will try and get to sleep around 2.30am tonight, should be alright as i had an early start this morning and am nackered now.

Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: yeo on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 11:09:04 Ive slepts about 20 hours out of the last 24 8) I feel a bit dopey now.
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 11:35:14 Impressive I have now slept 0 minutes for the last 24 hours, not that tired though.
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: janaage on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 11:36:21 You lot are all crazy mother fuckers!!! Or you will be if you don't sort it out soon enough.
Get some drugs from your doctor, just tell him you're on nights and are struggling to sleep during the day. Then take the dose at 11 at night and you'll be guaranteed 8 hours uninterrupted sleep. And wake up feeling fresh as a daisy. Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: STFCBird on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 11:46:53 Listen to aunty birdy, I suffer from insomnia, so I find it very difficult to sleep most nights, as some of you know.
Firstly It sounds to me Sonicyouth that you need to get a job, or if you do not want a job, get your arse back to college ir something. If you still can't be arsed then as Yeovil says there is nothing a few cans of Stella can't cure, or even a nice big fat bifta (as piemonte would say) If you still can't sleep at night you can try the girls way, I have special drops that I have to put on my pillows because sleeping pills make me mental. Don't ever take sleeping pills. Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 12:24:10 Advice - if you are a student, make the most of it while you can. If you are SonicYouth, get a job; that will soon help you establish some kind of routine. I also find listening to Coldplay or Damien Rice really quietly makes me relax and sends me to sleep.
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 12:36:30 I love the way you've seperated me from the rest of humanity, I love you Dave :}
Getting tired now, someone get me some Red bull or something to keep me awake otherwise my sleep pattern will be even more fucked up Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 12:40:01 hehe, no worries!
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Piemonte on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 12:42:00 my sleeping pattern is fucked at the moment, I've not been to sleep til 3 since i came out of hospital.
Its not really a problem at the moment, but its gonna fuck me up when i have to go back to work. Sonic youth, my advice is to get a job mate. I was in a similar serario 5 years or so ago, and simply coulnt be arsed to get out of bed til 2/3 in the afternoon as there was nothing worth bothering to get up for. Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Barry Potter on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 12:42:15 Go for a long walk/run.
STFCBIRD,are they chloroform drops? Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: STFCBird on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 12:51:42 Quote from: "Barry Potter" Go for a long walk/run. STFCBIRD,are they chloroform drops? no but believe me I wish they were :( Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: yeo on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 13:37:05 Awww we could have turned this thread into a staying awake competion.
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Piemonte on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 13:38:43 Does anyone else suffer from rage and extreme anger when deprived of sleep for more than 2 days or do I just have psycological issues?
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: STFCBird on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 13:52:08 I think your rage is a bit of both. My rage is caused by perverts in my office that think they have the right to grope me because I am 'on my own' in the office. CUNTS GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (must not swear) :(
Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: strooood on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 13:57:02 when i went to portugal in 04, i woke up at 9 on the day we left because ihad tomeet my dadso he could give me money 8)
our flight was at 7 the next morning and me and my mate had to get a coach to gatwick that arrived at midnight, so we didnt sleep in the terminal, just stayed awake till our flight and consumed about 5 beers each in the airport bar. we didnt sleep on the plane and went straight to the pool for a few hours then hit the albufeira strip for the switzerland match, after which we went to the clubs till about 4 when we got back to our hotel. we then thought it would be funny to run around the hotel knocking on peoplesdoors and running away like proper louts and jump in the pool fully clothed when it was clearly shut. we eventually got to bed at about 8 in the morning- so 47 hours after i had met my dad, with no sleep. what was worse is that it was too hot to sleep any later than about 11, so i woke up after three hours with theworst hang over EVVEERRRR so 47 hours is my record. i feel like a bit of a pussy now :-))( Title: i need to sort out my sleep pattern Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, March 1, 2005, 14:02:12 30 hours now for me. I'm really tired now hopefully I can get an hours sleep in before neighbours.
