    Apparently an Irish waterfall in county Leitrim has become an internet sensation, lulling more than 6 million viewers to sleep 'from Belfast to Beijing'

    Linky

    Also



    That's one pretty sexy waterfall if you ask me. Think the birds would distract me though.

    So my question to you AH, as I prepare to leave a night shift and stare at the ceiling with the sunlight filtering through my curtains for the next few hours, is are you an insomniac like me?

    And how the hell do you lull your busy brain to sleep?

    Also, out of pure sleep deprivation I just accidentally posted this in the PI thread.
    LOL?

    Yep, been an insomniac really since early childhood. As far back as I remember, it started off as I was trying to stay awake so I wouldn't wet the bed (it never worked! :rolleyes:), then I was afraid to go to sleep in case I did, and it just developed as a habit over time that I would subconsciously keep myself awake, even when I had a crap day and I actually wanted to go to bed and sleep it off.

    So eventually after years of trying various prescription medications, some of which would knock out a baby elephant, and I woke up buzzing in the morning, my eyes felt like saucers, I just didn't feel right at all, and I'd tried other, ehh, "methods" (you figure it out :pac: ), I just learned to accept it and work it to my advantage.

    Nowadays I just keep going until my body physically has no choice almost, usually about once a month I'll have one long sleep (think I slept for nearly two days straight a few times), and I'm ready to go again! Not being able to sleep sometimes does bother me, but not as much as it used to now that I'm able to occupy my time when everyone else is sleeping... :)

    That's more a stream than a waterfall

    Insomnia sucks donkey dong. Seriously there is no greater hell than physical exhaustion to the point of insanity but your brain is having none of it...

    and then the excruciating self awareness that you've cursed it now by thinking about it so intensely and you are simply not getting to sleep any time soon and you have to be up in three hours for a seriously busy day and really can't afford to be anything less than 100 percent and WHAT THE F%CK BEKS101 YOURE STILL AWAKE!!!

    Like everything else, it is ruined by the birds. Flying rats they are.

    Beks have you ever tried ASMR vids???

    I actually used to do that for other girls at slumber parties. We would send each other to sleep with relaxation techniques.

    Look it up on youtube it's really relaxing.
