Audioblysk Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Do you exercise? I do 50 pushups, some planks, and this weird pilates ab thing every morning along with full body stretching, I started it about 4 years ago and it always helps me wake up. I haven't had any cardio in a month or two aside from walking around the big-ass facilities I work in and heavy lifting over those lengths for extended periods of time. Not much outdoors lately since it's been cold and raining every second, hiking trails are closed or I'd die on them, and my bike got jacked... That may be it. Although I don't remember when I was more sedentary years back that I ever had these problems with sleep, mostly insomnia on the part of not being able to slip off to sleep. Funny FWP - I locked the damn bike to a tree that was really quite large on the side of a friends property. It was stolen during the day and someone actually chopped the tree down to get it off. I was fucking stunned, but honestly, I was also pretty impressed. It was some 1980's cheap-o road bike. Other side note - I will say - for the amount of effort that local methamphetamine users expend on being shiftless and fencing for their habit, they really are under utilized IMO. A government program to keep giving them good dope, giving them a nice tweak warehouse somewhere, and having them do social programs that benefit the community would be pretty snazzy. If you're going to be a vapid prisoner to your horrible vice, may as well contribute instead of killing a tree and stealing my bike like an asshole when you wanna get high. I can see it now...

Braintree Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I would recommend doing cardio. That usually tires me out so that I can sleep at night. Also, stretching before bed helps a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceciuj Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 well if you're sometimes sleeping from 10-6 that's plenty of sleep. if you're not feeling rested even then i wonder if it's more due to stress than lack of sleep. lowered sex drive also is often linked to stress. sounds like you get more physical activity during the day than most thanks to your job. at least your not chained to a desk all day. i think you just need to align your chakras and get some zen up in your shit, ya know? my fwp. riding in the rain sucks shit and i hate it. going to flash flood from 6pm tonite to 6pm tomorrow so i'm taking the car. however, i almost never drive anymore and i'm pretty petrified to drive in rush hour. in the rain is the worst too. not looking forward to tomorrow i also have to buy a new joystick to play a new videogame which is like $200. it does almost nothing different than my current controller which is ridiculous.

ambermonk Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I can't sleep in past 6am the last two weeks or so, no matter if I'm going to sleep at 10pm or 4am, it's like clockwork. Really starting to drive me nuts because I wake up and I'm alert and awake, but feel little to no pleasure of having rested. None of that feeling like 'oh yeah, ima roll over and just sleep more, I'm so comfortable' It's more like an anxious and sweaty series of slight body-cramps (mostly in me legs) and being wide awake in an instant from a dead sleep. I've tried melatonin, valerian root, edible cannabis stuffs, 5-hydroxytryptophan and GABA to try and sleep and they'll knock me out and give me weird dreams, but then I wake up in the same state I described above. The kicker is, by about 3 or 4 PM, I'm yawning so much that my eyes water, I can't have conversations without it being in half wookiee-yawn and half just saying 'yeah' or 'no' appropriately, and I have no energy. My sex drive has gone down, stress has gone up, music making has gone down, I'm irritable as hell and I want it to stop Kill me. I hate to peddle the whole going veggie thing, but for some reason I've been getting better rest and more stamina throughout the day since I've started. But again, not trying to impose.

usagi Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 more work trouble that has nothing to do with work. I feel like I'm getting in trouble every day now for some meaningless shit or other. if it ain't parking fines, it's someone getting on my case about stacking coffee cups on my desk. wtf.

ghOsty Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I know I've bitched about it in here before but... This history of design class is seriously HORRIBLE.... Half the class has dropped already, I'm sticking it through though because there's no way in hell I'm revisiting any of these awful lectures and it's required for my degree. Sweet caffeine, you're my only hope on getting through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maitake Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I was kicked out of an apartment by my roommate and childhood friend years ago, for smoking weed. Him and his parents found out and kicked me out of their life entirely. It's been probably 6-7 years now since i've seen him. It was totally my fault and was in the wrong for bringing the drug into the apartment.. Even though I still to this day would argue that the ganja isn't evil, that incident shamed me still.. I lost my best friend I ever had then.Now he's the manager of the IT department I was about to apply at... and does the interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always funny to see what people hold as 'what is worst' when it comes to people around them doing things and how they react. To me, losing a friend and family friend(s) and disowning them for smoking weed is way more heartless than you deciding to get high. That's like disowning your friend because they drank a beer. Just as stupid and in all honesty, shows the maturity and ego of the person doing the disowning I hope that your friend, being a responsible adult decides to bury the hatchet and you get a good interview. Nobody, ever, should be made to feel like a criminal for using cannabis. To do so is pretty despicable and ridiculous to me. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Amen. I only got 3 hours sleep a couple nights ago. I slept pretty well last night (maybe 6.5 hours), but it's not even noon and I'm feeling super drowsy. I hope I can zap my brain back into alertness for tonight, as I have a show to play at 11pm. And not just any show, but the live debut of a new project. Come on brain... be more responsive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maitake Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah it was very awkward at the time. I was at work and received a phone call from my parents telling me that he showed up at their house and told them everything. They actually already knew I had a habit though. My family just kinda went along with it and told me that his family insisted that I leave the apartment and never come back. Was the last I ever heard from him.. never even spoke to me. Needless to say I don't think I can bring myself to apply. Maybe just use this opportunity to rise above and continue studying for my CCNA -> CCNP.
