Insomnia?

[iPumas]

I don't get it, why is it that people find it cool or badass to be an insomniac? I FUKKEN HATE IT! Yeah it's nice to know you're awake longer and get to watch fukken Girls Gone Wild infomercials on TV and not have to deal with a bajillion people at Wal-Mart, but still, WTF!? Nothing compares to having a full night's rest and then waking up without the use of an alarm clock. Shit, the last time I had at least 8 hours of sleep was when I went through surgery 3 weeks ago. And before that it was probably like December!
NG, what's your input?

I cannot say I have insomnia, as I am not a doctor, nor has a doctor told me I have it.

I will say however that I do have a habit of staying up late for no reason, but I can easily blame it on a combination of stress, hectic work schedule, and loads of caffeine.

But do you find it cool?

I haven't seen a girls gone wild commercial in fricken ages. People see insomnia as a sort of rebel behavior and well Dave Attell is awesome.

No, I don't find many medical disorders to be "cool." And I wish I'd be able to stop my mind from running like an idle engine, but THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH TO ASK.

[Mrmongooseman]

I have never seen someone say it is cool.

I stay up horribly late most of the time, because the late night is the only time when I can actually think. But I've occasionally managed to solve that problem by fixing my sleep schedule so that I wake up at around 4am, which is much closer to the sleep schedule that people in this society are theoretically supposed to be on. The only problem is that most other people assume that everyone goes to bed after midnight, so I end up missing out on a social life.

I wish I can say the same thing, but instead half the people I have to deal with gloat all fukken day everyday of how long they've gone without sleeping and how sleeping is for the weak.

I don't have insomnia I'm just stupid and like staying up really late because I fuck around during the day and work at night.

I do hate people who call themselves insomniacs though without any medical proof.

Then why did you make a thread pointing out that you are one? No one gives a shit.

[Smittytheghost]

Don't they make medicine to treat it?

[Lintire]

I've never heard anyone say that they were an "Insomniac" like its something to be proud of. In fact most of them seem to really hate it.

But you know what is cool? The Uberman sleeping schedule. Fuckin' yeah.

lately I've been sleeping upwards of 12 hours, though. Better fix that.

Insomnia is cool in your teenage years... like smoking, drugs and drinking.

Then you get older and people think you're weird for excessively doing it.

[dlxrevolution]

Lots of things go on at night, and I don't want to miss them.

On that note...ZzzZzzZzzz

It isn't cool or badass to have insomnia.

I agree with this, but people like to call themself "badass", I guess.

They do? Wow, didn't think you could treat insomnia by medicine.

You can't heal it, but the medicine can help a bit.

I have had insomnia twice before in my life and it is far removed from cool.

Douchebags who brag about it:

A. Have never had it.
B. Have only read about it or seen it in Holywood movies.
C. Are douchebags.

[MaartenC]

How can that be? I love sleeping.

[i-am-ghey]

ha. i always talk about how little i sleep, and how i never miss my sleep during the day. i sleep for three hours a day on average, five hours max.
one time, i said to my roommate i stayed up all night playing computer games just before the final exam. he didn't believe me cos i was not sleepy at all.

it is kind of cool to talk about it. makes you feel you are better than everyone else.

Yeah OP, where the fuck did you bring that?

[ifureadthisdie]

I had insomnia for a while now and It's fucking hell, I'd give anything for better sleep. Whoever says it's cool is just like another attention whoring cunt who uses his/her "misfortunes" to get social benefit.

Insomnia is mainly due to body temperature, methinks.
Meditation and cooling down helps.

I wouldn't say I have insomnia. But I do have weird sleeping hours. At least during the work week. I have to be in at work around 1am and I sometimes don't leave until 2pm. So my sleep schedule is really crazy, lol. But no insomnia is NOT cool.
