Talkbass Insomnia Club

Yup. Haven't slept a wink all night so far. Meant to be getting up at 6:40 to go in for 8 and work a 12 hour shift and it's 4:20 right now.

Still wide awake.

Getting hungry.

Getting a headache from lack of sleep (been up 20 hours now)

I hate insomnia...

Wonder if I should call in sick or attempt the shift on caffine and chocolate...

Constant partying?

I might have to have a party with the toaster in a minute. Grrrr.

Can anyone suggest whether I should call in sick or not? Only been on this job 2 months and I'm trying to make an impression. Already took a day off a while back for "head ache/migrain" :/

Really not sure what to do, and 6am is fast approaching!

kthx, talkbass!

I would go, unless you feel you will be unable to perform your job competently.

Thinking about this one right now...

I think I noticed something today.

Decided to try going completely caffine free today in hope that it'd help me fall off to sleep at a decent time.

Didn't work...yet I was tired at work ALL day. Perhaps... since I didn't do enough caffine during the day so I didn't wear myself out enough to sleep when I got home (since I was yawning and relaxing all day at work since I was so tired).

That and I take mild sleeping pills and I'm out of them tonight.

Sitting at home is actually the last thing I want to do...but not looking forward to the hour train ride to work. Might mention it to my shift lead and try to man it out... See how I feel in an hour or so

I never get to sleep before 4:00 except for uncontrollable nod out between 7:00 and 8:00 PM on occasion. These last about 20 minutes and then I feel like s**t till 4:00 am.

It's a drag!

Smoke some weed. A bunch of guys I know lie that the reason they need a Cannabis Club card is because they have insomnia. Maybe it's true or something.

Never worked for me. I get high I'm up for an extra 2—3 hours.

One thing that helps me fall asleep is weed and chamomile tea.
