Can't Sleep

*Cowabunga Carl* · 02-01-2011, 03:05 AM

Well I live in Indiana in the US and it is 4:03 and I can't sleep. It's not that I don't want to but rather that I just can't seem to get tired. I worked an eight hour day today and it was a busy day as we where busy restocking and making things since Saturday we ran out of almost everything. So yeah now I'm home and I can't sleep. Just thought I'd post on here and see what everyone else was up to right now.

Amazing....
For me its right now 10.05 Am, and Im in a not very laborius morning at work today!!

Sometimes I forget the time difference!!!....

Try to relax, a hot warm bath and let you down in your bed without to feel angry about: I must sleep!

*Cowabunga Carl* · 02-01-2011, 03:17 AM

I've done the warm shower when I got home from work, helps me relax after a day of people being stupid. It amazes me how people still want to order food when they are eating at a buffet.

Right now I'm watching the 2k3 toon and just sitting back in my chair. Oh and of course posting on here.

4:17 AM (as you know, being we live on the same coast) here, these are my normal hours. I sleep all day and prowl all night. I've been spending most of my evening cleaning up the thousands of files on my CPU to make room for more, while listenin' to tunes (a group named Little Dragon, to be specific) and scarfing skittles. Ahh, the geek life!

I think it's the Ice Storm that is currently hitting us at the moment that is keeping me awake. Snow I can handle but ice bothers me. Looking out my window there are huge iceicells hanging off my roof. I work second shift so my day is all kinds of messed up. I get up like at 11:30 usually and then crash around 3:30.

*Luzmagica* · 02-01-2011, 03:25 AM

^ I had never seen an Ice Storm,... it sounds big!...I think Ill be very scared for sleep too!!!...Ill be Under my bed!!!

*Cowabunga Carl* · 02-01-2011, 03:28 AM

Basically it is cold enough that the rain freezes as it hits. It took me 20 minutes to chip all the ice off my truck so I could drive home. Love snow storms though. Gosh I wish I could have like two feet of snow when I wake up.

*Luzmagica* · 02-01-2011, 03:34 AM

uff....! That sounds so Cool!!! both senses....

!!
We are actually complaining about we are cool these days...and we havennot Ice or Snow HERE!!!!!... and next month we have Carnival parties ! people go outside with customs for party /songs/shows...!!...

examples:

LOL...we dont know how cool can be a winter (just this place....in other cities is different!!)...!

*Cowabunga Carl* · 02-01-2011, 03:37 AM

The only contry I've been to is Canada, I would really love to travel someday and see a chunck of Europe. I've wanted to see Spain, France, and England. I'm going to have to start saving for that.

*Luzmagica* · 02-01-2011, 03:41 AM

^ What a coincidence!!

I´ll love to visit USA and Canada some day!!! (Except the State where you can be bad-trated for be dark-hair: Arizona....just in case...) Im dark hair!

*Cowabunga Carl* · 02-01-2011, 03:50 AM

I think I should probably get off an internet message board if i want to try and sleep at all tonight at some point. lol. At least I have tomorrow off.

*Luzmagica* · 02-01-2011, 03:53 AM

^good night!! LOL!!

*Cowabunga Carl* · 02-01-2011, 03:54 AM

Thanks. I hope the weather gets a little better so I can go to the comic book shop tomorrow. I need to find a few issues of things I'm reading right now. Oh and have a good day.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 02-01-2011, 04:57 AM

an hour later and I'm still up :-/ grrr. Sleep just doesn't seem like it will come.

Loco · 02-01-2011, 06:04 AM

Same here Every Nights I toss and Turn.it's like freezing here , my flat don't keep warmness and have no water anymore, so This is hard times. grrr we will survive Turtles

*Candy Kappa* · 02-01-2011, 06:12 AM

I often wake up earlier then my alarm clock due to the machinery the workers use outside. The whole neighborhood on the other side of the street is getting torn down, but at least we have a view now

*BubblyShell22* · 02-01-2011, 07:18 AM

I'm sorry to hear that, Cowabunga Carl. We're supposed to get a huge snowstorm later today and into tomorrow. I heard about the ice storm down there. Hope you're doing okay.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 02-01-2011, 01:22 PM

Finally got some sleep around 7. But then woke up at 11. So at least I've had four hours of sleep.

I really wanted to go to the comic book store today but it is freezing misting right now. I would love for it to snow, at least that way I could have some tracktion to drive on.

*Koi* · 02-01-2011, 01:37 PM

I would try during the day to stay away from your bed. Sleep using comes thanks to repetition of similar tasks right before sleep. That is why some people say a warm glass of milk will help is because they have built up a repetition of tasks that all lead them to sleep.
You also have to separate your bed from everyday tasks. When you do that your body will click that your bed equals sleep and could help more with your slumber.
Doing this stuff might help you later when you go back to bed. It might take awhile to have enough repetition of some sort to help guide you to sleep. I hope it all helps though.

You might also be stressed, which won't help.
