nothing like it. of course we're not talking about solid, undisturbed sleep, we're talking couchsleep here. i've been a couchsleeper for years now, & life, in general, is different if you _never_ go to bed.
may have been the pain pillers i took for my headache. at one point this morning my son was making a package to send to a friend, and i remember thinking, hmm, maybe we shouldn't send that one, what if it has magic powers? luckily i didn't actually say this, i have enough experience with being mostly asleep & functioning anyway to filter these sorts of things out. there are lots of levels of sleep, many of which can be worked into one's daily routine without disturbing it all that much. especially if one has long hair & can arrange it so the hair obscures a direct view of the closed eyes. except that time in chemistry class when the teacher decided to separate some hydrogen out of some h2o & then blow it up, causing the sleeping person to jump about a foot or two, greatly amusing the rest of the class.
i passed that class with a solid c-, even though i slept through almost all of it. ahh, memories. to this day the periodic table of the elements is like a blue valium to me.
my life is a series of naps, some longer than others. it's a very restless & unsettled existence. i like to think of it as an on-the-go lifestyle rather than a sleep disorder thankyouverymuch.
One day, I hope a friend slips up and sends me something with magic powers.
I love having a bed I can go back to. I love saying "I'm going back to bed" in a grand way, one that assumes a flourish of the hand that dismisses all of that day's evils. I write in bed. I read in bed. I often eat in bed. There is a room in my house that I have never even used mostly due to the fact that I have everything I want in bed. That said...
I'm going back to bed.
Ack. I keep forgetting I need a break tag thingie when I comment on your site.
it got that way when i installed that preview dealy, & i don't know why, because it doesn't do it elsewhere. i should put a little 'insert line break' tag up there with the other formatting thingys huh?
There are formatting thingys?
Oh, so there are! How wonderful!
Ya' know, when you dream in HTML, sometimes it's all a fog...
i'll have to work on it late tonight because i'm sure i'll break things in the process, i used to think in javascript fairly handily but since i think in php mostly these days there are basic differences, syntax-wise, that will throw me.
of course i could also try to figure out why it does this, but i'm in no mood to try to figure out what exotic plugin dealythingy i have that conflicts with this script.
what i really want to install is that spellchecker thingy. i put all the perl mods on the server & everything but it still hacked up a number of hairballs when i tried to make it run in the blog.
I need one of those spellchecker thingy boopers... Although It would need to work in other people's comment boxes as well... So long as you weren't dreaming of nuns.. we can be pretty scary in dreams
i wouldn't have been too scared, i mean, i had plastic monsters with magical powers.
i forgot today was memorial day.. and had planned to pick up my klonopin (mother's helper pill) and drove by on my way to hell.. err wal-mart.. cursing that i should have remembered.. ANYway.. i was like.. aww fuck it.. i'll just get some over the counter crap for the night to tide me over.. I looked at the dosage of all the sleep aids.. and excedrin had the most mg heh.. so of course I pick that.. now i feel like they put something in the drug to make your eyes red and itchy.. giving you the feeling like you're tired.. when you aren't.. but i am kinda trippy feeling.. what have i resorted to here? lmao
antihistamines can be fun, well, they are in that five minutes or so between the time i feel them & the time i pass out cold; then there's the hangover, which consists of feeling like a lump & not being able to think.
fortunately i have a bunch of those good non-drowsy ones for the allergy season, i just can't do OTC antihistamines.
curled up on a sofa, mid afternoon i think is when i sleep the best, aside for the hours just after dawn. i keep trying to convince that the installing a sofa in the office would be a valuable thing. that allowing me an hour nap at around two would mean that i would be more productive afterwards. so far it's a no go. they shake their heads at me and mutter something about professionalism.
Naps are the greatest. I take one everyday.. And use to let my employees do it too
good heavens that's just silly! there's tons of research to support that naturally, we're meant to take a longer sleep period at night & a shorter one in the afternoon. this artificial social construct of getting all the sleep at one time & staying awake all day causes so much lost productivity.
that's why i have learned to nap in any number of different settings & levels of consciousness. that, & the fact i'm nocturnal.
