Kinda strange: I didn't fall asleep last night.

I've been up for around 26 hours so far. Not drowsy at all. I've had a couple times in my life where I had to force myself to stay awake but I really had to fight it.

Very weird. I don't drink coffee or tea and the only caffeinated drink I had was a single glass of Dr. Pepper yesterday at lunch. No drugs. Still wide awake...I'm deciding if I should go out for lunch or stay in just on the chance that it hits me all at once & I drop off to sleep in a heap.

You need a nap.

You need a nap.

I concur.

FYI: The longest I've been awake for was around 32 hours. The reason was that I was flying back from Tokyo (17 hour flight). It would kinda suck if I fell asleep now though. I'd probably end up waking up between 10pm to midnight which would really fuck up my sleep schedule.

Dr. Pepper? Hell, you might as well go out and play a few sets of tennis.

Managed to get a solid 30 minutes of shut eye.

Now up to 34 1/2 hours (I subtracted that 1/2 hour catnap.) I just picked up some ZzzQuil. Kinda screwed if this doesn't work. I've got my niece's high school graduation ceremony @ noon tomorrow.

Still super weird that I'm still not tired (I guess power naps really do work).

zzzyquil does not work... If I am in insomniac mode I go with benadryl, muscle relaxers or nyquil, I know, same active ingredient as zzzzquil, but it just works better for me.

What's the longest you've been up for during your insomniac modes? I'm kinda in uncharted territory.

I'll second benadryl when it comes to konking out if you're over tired.

I find that a frying pan works perfectly but my Phrenologist says I really need to stop. I'm making it hard for her to read my future accurately.

I don't know, there was a time when nightmares plagued me and I was having olfactory hallucinations because of a few incidents with an ex. I know it was a long time. I did not fall asleep on my own, valium was prescribed and even then I was in and out for the first four hours.

Sleep deprovation sucks.

I prefer my passing out from exhaustion because of a hard day at work to any drug induced sleep.

melatonin or unisom. the sleep tab ones, not the other ones. there's a difference. seriously.

just don't take too many or they'll fuck with your heart.

again, i'm being serious.

 

[Mello_SixtyNine]

I've already taken two ZzzQuil so I won't be taking anything else tonight.

Managed to get to sleep. Murphy's law did kick in a bit though. I was nearly asleep around 11:30 when I got a phone call. Ended up falling asleep around 1am.

39 hours is a long fucking stretch to be awake. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing.
