Not tired. Not a single bi....

[Keita]

I would be sleeping in the day but college means I have to get up early.

Oh...
Damn...
T_T
I was moving my DF folder from My Documents onto the desktop. All went successful, then I was moving 2 other DFs into the DF folder and suddenly it said that the folder was being access and I couldn't do anything, so I exited the only window that was up and tried again and nothing happened. I tried opening the folder but it said that it was being accessed so I couldn't access it.

Then it vanished...

I checked it's original location and all the folders on the desktop and the recycle bin... and nothing. It's just gone... D:
Luckily it didn't move the saves of one of the folders, so I can still use it. But I was modding the speech files...
EDIT: Scratch that, it removed the inside of the "saves" folder, but not the folder itself.

EDIT:
Argh. Curse you, auto-arrange, not automatically sorting my folders by name! D:<
Ah well... I've already deleted the other two games. I'll just get the speech file and kill it.

It's almost time for bed. 6:15am.

I was the same way for at least three months now. Go to bed at 6-8AM, wake up at 7-8PM.
I finally broke the cycle when I skipped sleeping two nights and managed to stay awake until 8PM, and then crashed and slept through an entire day.

I like to sleep for about eleven hours on average. If I don't get that much, I get bitchy all day.

I just moved furniture in my room for the second time this week and lost my wallet in the process. Hotsauce.

Hey Reasy, have you tried the counting technique that Alex talked about some time ago?

[Reasonableman]

I cannot say that I have. Nor do I know what you're talking about, though. I have, however, tried counting sheep, but then I get quickly mixed up about what number I'm on and I feel like more of a failure so it might not be a good idea.

[JoshuaFH]

Let me see if I can find it for you. It's buried in my college thread somewhere around here.

If you get mixed up that's a good thing.  It means you're starting to fall asleep.  Instead of counting sheep just count, maybe with a breath between each count.  Eventually you'll start skipping numbers, then tens, then you'll get stuck in one set of tens and just keep repeating it (Like 97 98 99 90 91 92) and not long after that you'll completely lose your ability to count and fall asleep.

Bam!

*gasp

Josh... man... you CANT use sleeping pills!!!   

They will make you a zombie... 

and the worst thing is... They won't work when you most need them because eventually your body gets resistant to them.  That's why many people end up over-dosing themselves.

There are several techniques that work wonders for those who have insomnia or trouble sleeping.

Once you're ready to sleep, lay confortably, close your eyes (duh!) start couting inside your head from 3 to 1 making a deep breath each time.  Those deep breaths will help you reach a relaxed state.  Now picture yourself in front of a blackboard.  Draw a circle on it and write the number 99 (it can be higher or lower depending on your needs).  Then erase it and repeat the last steps (circle and numbre) but this time substract one.  Etc.  You'll fall asleep. 

The trick is to relax and bore the mind.  It will then shut down.  You will sleep well.  Relaxation before sleep is vital.

See ya.

You sleep too much as it is. What you need to do is sleep LESS. That way you can train your body to become adapted to not having to sleep as often.

Bleh, I woke up at 2PM. Thanks guys. Thank goodness nothing was planned, or that I was needed for anything, and that it's gloomy and depressing looking outside.

On the bright side, I'm fully rested. On the crappy side; my circadian rhythm is all out of whack.

When I can't get to sleep I used a technique my dad taught me when I was young... Think of the same thought for five minutes.

My mind spirils out of control if it's on the same subject for to long. I started off with favourite Bleach captain and then ended up on deciding which muffin I like more. Choclate or Blueberry?

I'm adapt at having 4 hours sleep a night for 2 weeks. I crash at the end of it but it's useful some times.

I hate when that happens to me.
