Stay awake :-) it is horrible though especially if you need to be up in the morning.

Bad end to a terrible week, I guess.

I've been in bed before 11 every night for the last three weeks, I'm determined to stay awake tonight. (and I'm not in the pub)
I'm listening to music for the first time in weeks and it's almost sexual, I don't want it to end

Wankypoos are great in the moment but afterwards, this is just me personally, I am not judging you, I get an intense feeling of shame because there's just poo and man juice all over me, the walls, the ceiling; and my bum just feels sore!

Still though, nice way to pass three quarters of an hour.

No bother, if getting sick is what you are into then I don't judge you for it.

Ha, you're probably pronouncing it wrong, all the g's in my name are actually silent.

There's no wrong way man, just different ways of being right!

It's annoying when it happens. Just about to drop off and re-adjust the pillow or something and then can't get the sleepiness back and can be wakeful for hours.

It doesn't happen to me often thank ****. If I can't sleep I'm usually getting a bit stressed by 3am. By 4am I just start saying 'You will nod off, you'll have 4 hours sleep' be grand. Be a little tired tomorrow but not ragged. No. We're good. Few hours sleep maybe 3. Or zzzzz.

This is me. At like 2 hours sleep left, I'll start swearing and generally in a bad mood.

Have you tried lying on the edge of the bed you might drop off :-)

You can only sleep if your brain and body want to, trying to induce it is a waste of time and just invokes more insomnia over why you can't sleep, you get nights where even someone firing a 12 bore into your temple still wouldn't make you unconscious, these just need to be taken on the chin.

My brain and body both want to.. To sleep off this stupid sadness and just to not wake up for a while... But it's not happening.

It's annoying when it happens when expecting a usual sleep. Just about to drop off and re-adjust the pillow or something and then can't get the sleepiness back and can be wakeful for hours.

If I can't sleep I'm usually getting a bit stressed by 3am. By 4am I just start saying 'Relax you'll get a few hours anyway, be grand, maybe 4. Be a little tired tomorrow but not ragged'. Few hours sleep, maybe 3. Or. Zzzzz.

Listening to a podcast or audio book (not music) through airphones on really low volume puts me to sleep

Balls to this. I was working late last night/early morning and got to bed around 5. As I was just drifting off to sleep it somehow shocked me and it woke me up. I've been lying here for the last few hours. I'm thinking get up, cold shower, big breakfast and head out to the shops. I'm working again this evening. I'm dreading it.
