My family a history of sleep problems (my mom has sleep apnea, dad might be insomiac) and I can only sleep after I've spent about two-three hours (that's not an exageration) but when I decide to use dakka late at night (not easy, only one p.c, have to sneak and floors are very squeky), I getincrediably sleepy and wake up really well rested. WTF? Is something wrong with me, or have I become some dakka addict, were I experiance physical pains, and lose 50% of my body weight? Please help me find out what the F**K is wrong, cause I really think something might be wrong.

99% of insomniacs don't actually try to sleep.

Me? It's 4.30 a.m. and I've had skinful. Currently lurking with intent on Dakka, currently listening to Dexy's Midnight Runners.

EVERYONE!

TOO RA LOO RA!
TOO RA LOO RA YAY!

Though at time of edit, it's currently Shakin' Stevens playing.

Ain't gonna need this house longer
Ain't gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the ceiling
Ain't got time to fix the floor.

And count yourself lucky....Tony Basil is up next.

I think Britain is in a different time zone then america. But I mean my parents both have trouble sleeping (think it might be moy bro's obnoxious damn music, cause he plays it loyd so he can get to sleep.)

I have tried hebal crap, homepathic tablets (I think that's how you spell it.) but only Benadryll works, and I don't intend to take it unless I have an alergic reaction.

No, you are in a different time zone.

I am 40 or so miles from Greenwich, where time was, if not invented, certainly defined for the modern era.

Silly foreign types

HEY MICKEY!

Right now it's 11:38. At night. I am starting to actually get sleepy. perhaps dakka is a sleep aid? I bet warseer is like NoDoz!

11:38? And you are worrying about sleeping? At the weekend?

Seriously?

Dude...it's the weekend, so like, Vienna to Midge Ure....this means nothing to me!

I haven't had anything to do. My buddy is pissed at me, so we haven't hung out in a few weeks, and that was pretty much how i spent my weekends. Playing Nazi Zombies at my buddies house and hoping to make it pass wave ten. I have spent the day in my room, standing and wishing that something good was on. But sleep on the weekend is imprtant. cause that's when i get to sleep in!

Bah, try sleeping during the day, when people are out and about driving on the road next to your room after you get of a ten hour long night shift. Then talk to me about sleep issues.

Edit:Oh and only level ten, a friend of mine and I managed to get to level 17 before biting the big one.

You're a teenage boy.

And you are honestly telling me you have nothing to do?

Seriously. Nothing. Teenage Boy....nothing to do....not possible.

I sleep 11 hours a day but when i wake up i feel tried

If your are refering to the idiots who set cans on fire then kick it, burning their leg, or doing drugs, NO. I honestly have nothing to do. No Micheal Chabon books to read, all my scouts are painted 9sep the faces), and I didn't feel like watching a movie.

Thats because you oversleep. You need to adjust your sleeping hours, and be more active.

Reboot your metabolism.

Sleep? I think I remember what that was like. Right now I'm working an all-nighter drawing comic book pages for one of my classes. And nothing to do? I spent about half my time in high-school drawing. Trust me, its loads of fun.

And actually, I was more referring to one, or indeed several menage a une

Or are todays teenagers too good for self pollution

I was actually a huge drawer back in 6th grade. Then i realized my dreams of drawing for WitchBlade were not gonna happen, I stopped. But I haven't stopped writing. I refuse too. Even if I have no writing tools, I write it down in my mind.

I do believe you Sir have a dirty mind. Though who doesn't really?

GES(to lazy to write you name out but not this explanation), write up some fluff or something for your Marines or Special heroes or something if you don't wish to follow the Mad Doc's advice.

Never let go of your dreams matey.

My mate is now the Editor of The Amazing Spiderman....dreams can come true.

I've seen his 'work' load....stack of comics up to my waist (I'm 6'3") and I know how much he got for putting together a Wolverine Annual....

It is better for a mans seed to fall in a whore, than to fall on the ground. Any one got 50 bucks?

Dude, I sucked at drawing in High School. I went to art school. I got better. If you like doing it then do it. If you want to be good at drawing, start with anatomy. Here are the best anatomy books to look at:

http://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-Anatomy-Expanded-Burne-Hogarth/dp/0823015521/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235883631&sr=1-2

I've copied every page in these books at least once, some up to a half dozen times. You can draw WitchBlade if you put the work in.

50 bucks wont get you anything good.

Actually,after I started writing I found it much more to my liking, but I'm not taking craetive writing till after next year.

Oh, what a load of crap!

It's natures five minute pick me up.

As long as have my special spanners, I will never need prozac!

That's cool. What kind of stuff do you write about?

MDG just made me want to go kill myslef.

How did I manage that?

I'm only speaking of Wrestling Cyclops.

If nothing else, it makes financial sense!

Don't do it too much or you'll get carpal's tunnel, and that don't feel good from what I hear.

Here's to Boxing The Jesuit, Knocking the Pope's Cap Off, and of course, Relaxing In a Gentleman's manner.

Not to mention Strangling The Parson....

I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know that it goes away after a while.
