Ħ's "I Get No Sleep" Club

[Ħ]

So, gonna have to wake up at 6am tomorrow to study for a physics quiz.  Why do I do this.  Why.

[MasterShakezula]

I have been essentially nocturnal since the school year ended.

[JayOctavarium]

what's sleep?

[MasterShakezula]

Something normal guys get, like spray tans and regular sex.

[Tripp]

I always sleep 8h a day/night, but I always alter my sleeping schedule to fit important things in.

[MasterShakezula]

Do you have any tips as to how I could get to a normal sleeping pattern for Thr school year?

[kári]

Go to sleep at 11 PM. Wake up at 7 AM. Repeat.

[BlobVanDam]

I go to bed around 5am, but it's usually about 6-7am before I can manage to get to sleep. Then I get woken up at 3pm. Good times.

[Zydar]

Go to sleep at 11 PM. Wake up at 7 AM. Repeat.

This is my sleeping pattern. Works great.

[MasterShakezula]

Oftentimes, I end up staying up as late as I do as a result of losing my sense of time due to porn.  These first 3 pornless nights have felt waaaaaaay long.  Which means that getting to sleep early in the school year shouldn't be too much of a challenge.

[kári]

Dude, you seem to really have a problem with this porn thing. My average watching time is 10 minutes, and as far as I know, so is almost everyone else's.

[MasterShakezula]

You'd be understating it, my friend.  

Since 9th grade, after being addicted for 2 years, I'd been spending hours every night looking at it (usually just pictures of solo girls, but as it got worse, I ended up watching some videos and looking a mostly hardcore).  I'd always be abusing myself to it, sometimes 2, 3, or even 4 times a night!

I thank you so much for getting me to kick the porn addiction; I can't believe how powerless I had been the last 4 years.

[kári]

When I said "stop watching porn" yesterday I had no idea you had a porn addiction. I just said so because watching porn is what gets me longing for sex the most. That's why I said you should cut back on it.

I have no idea how you could spend hours watching porn. After finishing I never watch any more, it's just not appealing any more.

Also, why are you calling masturbation "abusing yourself"? I believe that it is 100% natural and do not feel guilty at all about doing it. I can sometimes get up to 4 times/day, I think everyone has had one of those days from time to time.

[MasterShakezula]

I have no idea how I was able to, either. I guess 5 minutes would become 10, and 10 30, and next thing I know, it's 4 AM!

Also, I dunno why exactly I call it abusing myself.

I'm guessing because I'd feel guilty fir doing it cause my grandparents are very conservative and would be very upset if they knew that I masturbated, though they never found out about it, or my porn problem.  Also, at school, kids often make masturbation seem like a gay person thing/loser thing/morally bad in some cases.  I think I may be cause my neighborhood is a very conservative one in the most conservative part of my state. As a result, I'm insecure about masturbating.

Also, i never used lube, because i was Always too embarrassed to secretly buy it, so I'd often hurt after going for 4 in a row.

I'm glad to know, from your word that it's good and healthy, and of no shame.  I may want to be careful about going overboard with it, though.

Lube? For masturbating? If your dick hurts from masturbating, you should do it less. It's that simple. Also, I said stop watching porn. I didn't say stop masturbating...

[SPNKr]

Also, I said stop watching porn. I didn't say stop masturbating...

Jesus Christ

[jsem]

Abusing yourself might be the correct term after all if you end up hurting.

[kári]

Jesus Christ

What is wrong with that?

I meant what if he actually stopped beating off because he thought you implied it.

[kári]

Well, he did.

[Quadrochosis]

This. Love me some sleep.

Also, this should be Seth's no sleep thread. Guy is an iron wall of insomnia.

[Liberation]

I just can't get used to the "go to bed at 11PM or so and wake up at 6AM without problems" pattern most people do, so during school year my average sleeping time during the night was like 4 hours, and usually the same amount when I came back in the afternoon. Not very healthy I know, but for me waking up at 6 or 7 AM is completely unnatural and I usually can't even fall asleep properly before 3 AM.

Now it's summer and holidays for me so... I often end up going to bed at dawn in fact, at 5 AM. I'm trying to start going to bed a bit earlier though, since waking up at 1 PM is annoying.

I'm guessing because I'd feel guilty fir doing it cause my grandparents are very conservative and would be very upset if they knew that I masturbated, though they never found out about it, or my porn problem.  Also, at school, kids often make masturbation seem like a gay person thing/loser thing/morally bad in some cases.  I think I may be cause my neighborhood is a very conservative one in the most conservative part of my state. As a result, I'm insecure about masturbating.

There's nothing worse and more destructive than people forbidding something completely natural because of some moronic conservative beliefs. I've been trying to understand for years how something that gives one person pleasure but doesn't hurt him/her or anyone else can be wrong, and I still haven't come up with anything.

ANYWAY FOR SOMETHING THATS ON TOPIC

I just "got up".  Yes, I did not fall asleep at all.  I struggled to get to sleep for 4 hours, only to be horrified when I checked the clock and saw it was 6:45.

[MetalMike06]

I have to work 5 days a week at 6am. But I can never really get myself to go to bed any earlier than 11:30 or so, so I figure on my days off I catch up on sleep. Well, I guess waking up early is just burned into me because no matter how late I get to bed, on a day off I can't get myself to sleep in past 8 or 9am. Last night I went to bed about 3:30, and I woke up at 8:15 today...Just opened my eyes, tried to tell myself to sleep longer...but I just can't feel tired after waking up.
But sometimes it balances out because more often than not, I nap for 2-3 hours in the afternoon after I get home from work.

I'm pretty much the same. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the light coming in through my window (the blinds only do so much for our bright sun). I wanna get a sleep mask for my eyes and see if that lets me sleep longer.

[jsem]

Actually, sleeping in total darkness is better for your body. I saw some documentary about sleep and that was one of the topics discussed.

Haha, yep.  I really suck at the whole sleeping thing.  It's not much of a bother right now because it's Summer and I don't have any obligations, but come school year it's always a shit sandwich to try to get a good night's sleep in before school.  I get as little as 4 or 5 hours fairly consistently. 

[ZBomber]

Having a job really straightens out my sleep schedule. Normally, I'm all over the map, but since I have to work 11-7 every day, I don't have any trouble falling asleep at the right time.

[JayOctavarium]

Well I am getting a night job... so it will be right at home with my fucked up sleep patterns

[MetalMike06]

I remember back maybe a year and half or so ago when I didn't have a job. I'd stay up all night, go to bed at 6-7am, wake up at 3pm, go to class, come home and do whatever til 7am. It was actually kinda nice, even though I was basically a warewolf.

How did you buy food?

[MetalMike06]

Savings, and mooching off my parents from time to time.

I hate when I feel like, crap gotta go to bed but I needa finish listening to this album.

That's where I am right now.
