Messed Up Sleep Pattern

wild_eyed · 03-01-2004 03:54PM #1

This happens ever christmas, my sleep pattern gets tottally messed up, and moves forward about 6 hours, ie, i dont get up till 3 when i shud get up at 9, and cant fall asleep till 4 at night, i wanna get out of this as quick as possible, any tips?

Happens to me to. What I've done for the past couple of times that it's happened to me is stay up from when you get up, that night and the next day then go to bed at about 11. Hopefully (or with an alarm clock), you'll wake up at about nine. Then that day do a lot of work so that night, you'll be tired and sleep. Of course, it's probably really unhealthy doing it but it's interesting watching yourself without sleep

I'm currently on a pretty steady 5am - 8am, it's killing me! And nothing I can do helps! Ack! Just be happy you're all at least getting some sleep!

Ro: maaan! · 03-01-2004 04:57PM

Went to bed at about 5 this morning. Got up about an hour ago. I was fine before this. Damn. Conviently placed thread though...

Kold · 03-01-2004 05:04PM

I played freecell once, however I couldn't b arsed reading the instructions. However, I remain adamant that it is "ghey"

wild_eyed · 03-01-2004 06:05PM

zAbbo · 03-01-2004 06:08PM

I havent see daylight in 2004 yet, seems i`m pulling 5pm - 11am type awake mode.

Sleepy · 03-01-2004 06:11PM

I'm the exact same, now I'm just worrying about getting up for work on Monday. The only way I've seen 8am since December 23rd was by going to bed then... Christ I'm gonna get the sack when I show up four hours late!

(then again, maybe that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world...)

Spunog UIE · 03-01-2004 06:19PM

The very same. To fix it I think you better off crawling out of the bed in the morning early and just get tired during the day so you will actually sleep when you do go to bed. Tryin the other way around you just end up staring into darkeness going LA LA LA LA LA till the early wee hours of the morning.

wild_eyed · 03-01-2004 06:29PM

how long can we go without sleep for and wha are the side effects?

Crimson · 03-01-2004 08:03PM

well ... prob the best to do is make yourself get up at 9 .... then when it gets late go tob ed and make youself get up again after a wile you'll get back into it :rolleyes:

blondie83 · 03-01-2004 08:36PM

I was doing the night shift in Dunnes for a few days in the run up to Christmas, and my sleep time was pretty much 10 am to 6 pm. To get out of it I went to bed at 10am, got up at 1pm, then stayed up for the rest of the day, and went to bed as normal about 1 am. I was a bit tired, but fine the following day.

PS: freecell is a brilliant game!:D

exact same as me.

I take 2 Panadol Night when I need to adjust my sleep patterns. Much safer than the real thing. Its the antihistimines in it that do it. About an hour to an hour and a half later and I get quite sleepy. In fact its not unlike being slightly wasted. I never fail to get to sleep within a few minutes of my head hitting the pillow. In fact I'll be taking 2 tonight cause like others here I've been on a 4-5am to 1pm cycle and thus wont feel tired till 4-5am but I need to be up early tomorrow. So I'll take 2 at about 11pm, they'll hit me at about 12:30am and I'll sleep till 8am. Easy Peazy Japaneazy!

:D

Sarky · 03-01-2004 11:55PM

Agent Smith · 04-01-2004 12:38AM

only true god's can sleep for ever.... or pimp's.....

Jk_Eire · 04-01-2004 03:01AM

yeah i get f,ucked up sleepin pattern any time i get more than 5 days off college..
i havent seen daylight yet in 2004 ive been gettin up so late in the evening...

sci0x · 04-01-2004 03:22AM

Same here! I blame boards.ie. Id be in bed if i hadnt found this addictive drug! I really dont know what id do if this shut down. If I spent as much time studying as I spent on boards id be a f*cking genius. Although id say i learn more valuable things on boards.ie than in skool.

The reason I goto bed at all is people stop posting at around 5:00. The reason i get up is coz ppl are posting again. Course this is only during the holidays.

When skool is on i used to play games at night after studying. Now its boards, boards, boards.

You'd see these surveys saying how much time do you spend on the net a day? 1/2 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours+. And im searching for the 5 hour box to tick.

I need a job!

wild_eyed · 04-01-2004 09:41AM

at 12 last nite i started drinking, by 2 oclock i had 4 pints and a southern comfort (bleaurgh), i was sleepy but not tired, i walked home and watched the second renaisance part 1 and 2, while eating a toasted sandwich , and i went to bed at 2:30, very bad nite's sleep, mite have been the drink but i felt as if my eyes were open the whole nite, i awoke at 8, and am still awake now, at 9:45, i feel like anal surgery gone badly wrong, oh god, please shoot me. i will try to stay awake until 11 tonite, and with gods help i will beat this terrible infliction, ur honor. :ninja:

Senor_Fudge · 04-01-2004 10:33AM

smoke 2 joints in the morning smoke 2 joints at night smoke 2 joints in the evening then you'll feel alright

I used to suffer from insomina too, this isnt something to be taken lightly as its pretty damn difficult to get rid of,

First off if you drink coke or coffee stop right now until your sleeping pattern returns back to normal, avoid staying up late watching movies/DVD's and the internet,

next thing is to mind your eating too if you eat late at night its very difficult to fall asleep afterwards to if you could cut food out after about 9:30pm you'll be doing fine, you can also try a herbal drink from BIO FORCE i'll get the name of it for you tomorow if you need it now be warned the stuff tastes and smells like silage but it does the job, you could also try getting yourself one of those oil burners and an oil like lavendar put some on your pillow and some in the oil burner which should relax you as lavendar is a natural sedative.

failing all this go see a doctor as they can prescribe something to you to help you sleep until your sleeping patterns return to normal,

good luck mate hope it works out

KlodaX · 04-01-2004 07:29PM

lavender.. mm.. I agree with that...

but avoiding intoxications.. how do you stop thinking? ... I'm on 4-1 at the moment... but even when I've to get up at 8 its still 3 or 4 before sleep.... and its not even sleep... its dreams... very realistic dreams... like films but my eyes are closed and I'm a character.

random thoughts are the enemy to sleep ... you kill those stupid thoughts and sleep befriends you... but alcohol and weed can't be the only solutions... *maybe yoga* .. whats yoga?

... damm zzzs ... little gits are so difficult to catch.... maybe if we get some netting .. and some shiny colours to distract thought.... mmm.....maybe...
