Merlin | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 04:48 am   Maha, thanks for the insight into an insomniac. I can see how you would be a "bare knuckles" boxer with the record you have. If I were in your place, I would be a bit punchy myself.

Grooch | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 04:53 am   I heard that Bill Clinton, Mayor Rudy Guilliani, and Martha Stewart never sleep. Only catnaps. And it was either Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson also who only catnapped. Look at what all these people have accomplished, and I am sure there are many others. If you can't sleep, you should be putting this time to good use to get ahead of the rest of us sleepyheads. jmo. (Now I have the same exact oppostite problem. I need a minimium of 10 hours of sleep to function. Otherwise I am miserable. Lots of times, life does not let you get the sleep you need. The grass is only greener on the other side of the fence. ) |
Tksoard | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 06:21 am   Well Mahr, I'll probably be joining you for the next few days. I'm having surgery Fri. morning, and I'm scared to death. When I try to sleep, I think all kinds of bad things. Last night I just cried myself to sleep. I guess it's the way it will be for a few more nights. Then maybe the pain pills will knock me out. See you later, much later!!! |

Christina | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 10:43 am   Hey, mah, becareful, my fiance had the same problem months ago. It turns out he is Bipolar. He is 37. Sleep is very important!!!! He went way too long not getting help with his sleep, went for days on very little and then got real sick. We are still not quite better yet. 8 mths later. So hope you are still trying to get some help. Never would have thought this could happen. |
Mahrajah | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 11:24 am   i was just thinkin about that christina.. the bipolar issue was adressed in my psych class and it freaked me out kinda... i have gotten medical treatment but nothing works.. my uncle is a doc and he put me on this sleeping pill program for about 2 month which did nothing.. im gonna pull my prof. asside tonight after class and talk to him about my problem... he is a doctor anyways.. maybe its just a concious thing or i do have a serious problem at hand.. but i make sure if i dont get any sleep to lay down for a good hour or two on the bed to rest my body.. i just got up from the bed myself.. just laid there and relaxed... no sleep sadly.. hope everythin works out with u n urs.. see yas.. |
Weinermr | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 11:25 am   Mahrajah - good luck on your fight today, which is in about 2 hours. I have no trouble falling asleep at night, but I wake up in the middle of the night, my mind racing, thoughts of work, or other things which prevent me from falling back asleep. So usually I get up, maybe for an hour, maybe two, and if it isn't time to get up by then, I go back to bed, for as long as I can get away with. Normally though, I am an early riser, so if I get up late enough in the early morning, I just stay up. Thomas Edison was another person who subsisted on numerous catnaps throughout his life. You are in good company. Take care..... |
Mahrajah | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 11:32 am   thanks wein.. actually my fight isint till night.. i tend to write this way and it confuses people.. ex: im ready for the fight... its 1:12 in the AM people read that and go oh his fight is at 1:12 in the AM but nope.. i tend to write weird thats a half sentence.. im ready for the fight(period).. right now its 1:12 in the AM.. i tend to cut down on long words instead of saying right now i just said its.. my fight is actually at 9pm eastern standard time.. all my fights are usually between 9pm - 12am in the night.. hope ur able to understand..lol |
Weinermr | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 11:37 am   I got it now - knock 'em dead! (well not dead dead but you know what I mean) |
Car54 | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 11:45 am   Maharajah- I too have sleep problems. I can get to sleep, but seem to wake for an hour or two later in the night. My drs have given me several different types of medication- but I always feel really hung over when I wake up, so I tend not to take them unless I am desperate. This has been going on for me for about 15 years- if I can get a block of 3 hours at least, I am ok- my brain functions, but if I can't- or if I only sleep an hour or so, I really have trouble with concentration and functioning. I try not to dwell on it- if I wake up and can't go back to sleep, I read, watch the news, try to just relax and at least rest my body. Usually if I stay in bed, I get anxious- as if I have to hurry up and sleep! It can really wear you down. I think you should continue to get some kind of help- it can really mess you up if you go too long with NO sleep! |
Christina | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 12:03 pm   Have you tried a sleep clinic?? They can tell lots actually. My fiance started to get more and more energy, with less sleep started practically running the company, in the end he had a psychotic episode. Like I said before it was the last thing I ever thought would happen. He was my fiance one day and by the evening he was GOD. Very scary. It is a long road to recovery. Find out all you can right now. We use some exellent relaxation techniques right now and they work. |
Kep421 | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 12:08 pm   Mahra, I received an email about a poetry contest and thought you may be interested. Here is the link.... http://www.poetry.com/contest/contest.asp?Suite=C10007-creative1 Maybe you alreadly know about it, but if not, maybe you could check it out one of these sleepless nights!!! |
Spygirl | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 12:10 pm   Mah -- we have a handful of insomniacs on this board, and they spend a great deal of time in the chatroom! hahahaha!  |
Neko | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 12:13 pm   I'm going to copy what I wrote in your folder.. Poor Mahra...Have you tried soothing baths with aromatherapy candles or scents?Yes, girly I know, but I'm sure I'd work! Or have you already tried that? |
Christina | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 12:33 pm   hey mah, one thing to think bout with bipolar. It usually begins in adolescance and feeling and emotions up or down, etc. Stress has a strong role as well. It is a chemical imbalance. My fiance also went on the medication zyban....as they say in the comercial...it isnt for everyone. so watch anti depressants as well. hehe I shoulda been a doctor. Take care please. |

Sunshinemiss | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 03:46 pm   I'm a serious insomniac also, as anyone who has noticed my posts I am often the only one posting here at 2 or 3 a/m... I wish I could head into chat but being a Web tv-er that's not an option for me, sadly. I do pretty much as you do Mah, if I can't sleep I will at least force myself to lay down and rest the body for a bit. Murphy's law says the few times i AM able to drop off it is inevitably right before I need to get up for work or such. Sigh. |
Christina | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 04:10 pm   I will be thinking about all you insomniacs tonite when I have the candles burning, aromatherapy , cosy comfortable clothes and the sounds of water running. I will count some sheep and hope that this is enough to lull you to sleep. |

Buttercup | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 01:40 am   Mahrajah - I hope you're not awake to see this But if you are, I hope to hear that you are doing something about it soon. Please let me know how it goes <Buttercup wanders off to do some more packing. Crawls into a big box and falls asleep> |
Magikearth | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 01:47 am   Mah, You can count me in as another person who likes your poems. As I was reading them,I thought how they would make nice songs....Did you ever think about learning to play the guitar? It would be great if you could somehow put your words to music.Its just an idea; maybe you can give it a try. * You do know,however,that when you make it as the next Lenny Kravitz and VHI does a profile on you,that you give credit where credit is due!!! I don't ask for much babe,just a 3O % share ! LOL |
Maire | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 01:53 am   Aww, that really does blow, G. Hope you can get some kind of sleep soon. I'm headed over to see more of your poems now, then I'm going to bed. Take care.  |
Buttercup | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 01:58 am   <Buttercup offers the birthday twins a box each to sleep in. Goes promptly back to sleep dreaming of...uh...boxes....>
