• really??? is there a medical reason Nelson, are you an insomniac?

  • Report
  

  by Mentalmum is back on March 28th, 2008

• Insomnia mostly. It comes from a combination of not having my mind slow down and having been on call for many reasons since about 1985. When I do sleep, it's usually quite light so I wake up anytime I hear something. Once I wake up, I am up for several hours. Then there are times where I'll be awake for 24-72+ hours at a time for work reasons. After those stretches, I sleep like a rock for a good 6-8 hours.

• "Second wind"! I understand it well. I hit a breaking point at about 18 hours, then I need to walk away for about an hour. One of the last long runs I did was about 36 hours. At about the 18th hour I took a deep breath and walked outside and stood in the rain for about 10 minutes. I walked back into the data center, went into the bathroom and cleaned up. Drank a lot of water! Back into the computer cage put my headphones on and burned through it. Afterward, I got into my rental car, slept for two hours, got some food, went to the airport and went home. I slept for about 6 solid hours and nothing could wake me up.

• Mum, I use a yo-yo to keep a steady rhythm and it helps me mentally focus on the task at hand. Some people tap their fingers, some chew their nails, I use a yo-yo.

• You know what happens? I wake up at 3 or 4 am, can't go back to sleep, so I Bag it for an hour or so from, say, 4 to 5. Then I go back to sleep for a couple more hours, and then get up for real. And at night, I'm thinking maybe it looks like I'm up late to you cause you're two hours ahead. I get sleepy around 8:00 at night, if you want the truth:)
