Not so interesting to those who have it, I know someone who does.
Melatonin, my friend. Pop some Melly![]()
I count Chippendales jumping over mattresses.
nah, I have something really rare
IMB![]()
Um, that helps...I guess lol
I personally cut off social electronics, and shut myself in my room, so no light shines in or sound. And well pop a pill. Try to zen out basically.
I've actually been known to have fingered or gone down on my wife while dead asleep. I literally have no recollection of it at all. I'm not saying I have some disorder and it doesn't happen often. Oddly, it only happens when she's ovulating.
I did sleepwalk a lot when I was a kid. In fact, I used to get up in the night, walk over and pee on Teddy Ruxpin. I'm sure that's a fetish somehow.
Acronymism?
I don't sleep for like 3 days and then I sleep 12 hours. It's really inconvenient for work. I won't sleep more than that if I don't get to sleep the 12 hours, either. I'll just bitch about it. By which I mean I get really irritable. When Bitesize was born she slept, constantly, for like 2 months, and it freaked me the fuck out. And then after that she'd wake up but she wouldn't say anything, she'd just sit there and not tell anybody. For like 6-8 months she wouldn't say SHIT. She would just wake up and look around and, I assume, starve to death if we didn't do that schedule. So I'm really scared that she'll have my fucked up sleep schedule. And I didn't sleep for those 8 months, hardly at all. Because I was scared she was either going to 1: Just randomly die because that's a thing that kids do or 2: Just not tell anybody she was awake. So now my not sleeping thing is even worse because I just... it's bad anyway, but if I have any kind of external stressor at all, I just don't sleep. I have medicine, but it makes me sleep for-fucking-ever; you can't wake me up, and it's the only kind the doctor will give me (the OTC shit does nothing because of some past problems with drugs that built up a resistance in my body to their active ingredients). So yeah. I have sleep problems, but I don't know if it's a disorder, because I will totally sleep with the medicine, but I choose not to take it because I have an irrational fear that my kid will die.
what drug is it?
I think she is past the SIDs window but check with her doctor.
Smoking around kids may make SID more likely.
Edit: About Bitesize, according to the doctors (we took her to a couple because I didn't believe them) there was never anything wrong with her. She's just hella chill, apparently. I know it's crazy and do it anyway. It's not that I don't intellectually understand that I'm being stupid and fucking up my sleep schedule for no reason, I know I am. I just chose to continue doing it because what if I'm not and she died.
That is good to know she is fine. I am fairly calm that way (and was as a kid) I figure it was as Byron used to tell me when all hell was breaking loose and I was just quietly reading, "someone has to stay sane" so I guess that was my job.
If it's any consolation I am told I was very little trouble to my parents.
Well, I think the "I'll just lay here until I die" is way more trouble than just telling people you're awake. Now that she can kinda talk it's a lot easier. Because I think that she wasn't willing to just sit there and scream. It pissed her off. She just wanted to put words to her thoughts. I wish I knew sign language because they can learn that faster than spoken language and maybe she wouldn't have been so withdrawn. Right now she'll get pissed if she doesn't know the words for something, which has got to be frustrating. And she's really fast to call other people 'stupid' or 'silly'. "Focus" was one of the first commands she learned, but she doesn't use it to actually mean "focus"; to her it means "drop everything you're doing and focus on me" which is apparently telegraph speech. You'll pull what you think is the most important word in a sentence and just say that. And it's not the best form of communication. Because people don't know what that shit means.
Yes, I have never liked loud noises, so for me screaming would disturb me.
I also wouldn't eat certain colors of food, so my dad would dye it for me![]()
That's.... interesting. What color did you dislike?
Maybe you need on of those vibrating beds that take quarters.
Do they really take quarters?
