Why, what's wrong?

Is it the tests? Or, are you an insomniac?

I don't know I haven't been one. Or maybe I have been in front of the computer for more than I should.

Oh.

Being in front of the computer too long does sort of make it hard to sleep. Hence, why I fall asleep nearly an hour after I get in bed. Perhaps it could also be all the things I think about too...

I'm too mental...:S

Also...Sometimes I find it hard to keep my thoughts focused at night. Must have absorbed too much info :D

I have trouble focusing my thoughts all day...I can be really absent-minded. :)

Times like these you are grateful you have people to talk to huh? :) I sure am right now.

It's not serious things, various thoughts pop up and they keep coming while I feel a bit restless. And I'm not sure why, I am not that worried about tomorrow.

Just happens from time to time. Often our bodies get set to a specific sleep schedule and it makes it difficult to grab sleep before that. I'm used to going to be around 3, so I'm not that tired right now. But I'll pay come 7 tomorrow.

Pretty much the same for me. Bed around 3 yet I can get up easily.
Let's see...I'll stay a while here, listen some music and see if I can make a revision later. Getting more than 6-7 would be nice B-)

Edit: Thank goodness I got 2 hours of sleep, that's something!

:D

You'll need your sleep though...;)

I've taken tests with less than 3 hours of sleep and gotten A's...now that is something really hardcore. I took a two hour nap in the library after that! :D

I don't recommend it!

I have been known to take a nap during lesson man! :) But no even with 2 hours I need no sleep afterwards, not even when I return home.

Bye, I'm off!

Just a nap, Elvin? That's nothing. A colleague of mine from high school started sleeping and discreetly snoring in History class. The teacher notices, continues talking and sits down next to him, and then shuts up. Then he slams his hand on the desk yelling "HEY!" and the guy wakes up all confused. The class had a good laugh.

That's happened to classmates of mine as well.

The worst I've ever done in a classroom is go into a daze.

Dazes are fun... :butterfly:

Ehm now you mention it...:D Yes I've been caught once but he could see I was dead tired and I didn't look too well so he took it lightly :) He asked if I was ok and made a good-hearted joke about it.

Anyway first test today and I am far from satisfied. We were stuck waiting an hour and twenty minutes until it was our turn in a boiling heat room filled with 40 people. You could see sweat glisten on everyone's forehead. After all this waiting I could not answer the questions I was asked, I was just stuck. And some I didn't know at all but that's a given!
At least I had written a paper that passes you no matter what. Yay let's focus on the rest!

I think what makes it so difficult to keep awaken is the attempt to keep your eyes opened. Whenever I was gazing into my other eye (that happens when I'm really really sleepy :D ), or couldn't focus because everytime I blinked, my eyes went up, I watched classes with my eyes closed. I could focus, listen clearly and rest. :) I just couldn't open my eyes, or I'd fall asleep. Then, when we had to copy something from the boards or make any exercises, I woke up all of a sudden because my attention usually makes me awaken when I have to do anything practical. :-D

There is another philosophy: Don't fight it become it :D

Though it's usually the wrong thing to do!

Dunno if it's wrong. You see, when everyone goes sleepy like that, it means that it's not being humanly possible to let everyone having a good rest, and that's really important and should be overthought - maybe having breaks between 1 hours or so should help. :)

I sleep at work when I feel sleepy (due to playing HoMMV till late night at home), because that's the only thing I feel I should do so I could get rid of that feeling. But after some minutes, maybe five or ten, I don't feel sleepy anymore, and I can work normally again. :D
