Kind of a yesterday WTF, but eh.

I slept pretty badly this sunday because sucking at sleeping is basically my thing. Oddly enough, I seemed completely fine for most of yesterday, only actualy feeling tired when I got home. When I was getting ready to sleep, I basically blacked out for about 30 minutes. Its like I passed out, but for me it felt like no time had passed, kinda like blinking and then noticing half an hour passed during the blink. For whatever reason, my body also felt a bit sore.
The last time this happened to me was years ago.

Isn't it just great when that happens?

[Yoink]

Meanwhile I just slept most of the evening away after getting home from work... I'd worry about not being able to get any sleep later and being tired before work tomorrow, but half the time it seems like I work better on barely any sleep and no breakfast anyway.

Seriously, last time I was at work I'd had a decent amount of sleep as well as a bit of breakfast and felt awful, today I got to sleep at about two or three AM (and started at 9-10AM) and had no food whatsoever and felt fine. Well, not fine- I was at work after all. Still much better than last time.

DAMNIT BODY YOU DEMAND ADEQUATE SLEEP AND THEN COMPLAIN WHEN I GIVE IT TO YOU I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

Hey guys, we're all breaking the law! For number 3 at least.

Fear leads to the Dark Side. By not giving in to his fears of not becoming a Jedi, Luke prevails. Yoda tests him and he succeeds.

But on a serious note, that Yoda is afraid Luke will fall if he faces Darth too soon does not mean he is correct in his worry. He is not all-knowing.

One time when I was having insomnia for the entire night, until around 3am where my mind somehow knew that I can sleep now. As soon as I closed my eyes I felt everything getting brighter in the space of a few seconds (to me obviously) and when I opened my eyes it was morning.

So in Episode V, Yoda says that Luke going to rescue his friends will "destroy everything they've worked for". The worst thing that happens is that Luke loses his hand, and he gets a new robotic one anyway.

Well, obviously Luke's most important goal in life was his Championship Title in the Galactic Wank Competition, and a robot hand disqualified him from defending the title.

Not really. Using a pseudonym does not equal faking one's identity. It's no worse than a writer using a pen name. It'd only be a crime if one was impersonating a specific real person.

Breakfast is almost certainly a deciding factor here; if you eat when you aren't used to that can make you feel really crappy.

As for the actual lack of sleep effects, your ability to recognize how crappy you are actually doing declines much faster than your actual performance does due to lack of sleep, which means that no matter how sleep deprived you get you will always think you are performing at your best, despite you actually doing a lot worse than your best.

There's also going to habit shocks if you don't normally sleep much or eat much as you work to change those habits; which are going to make you feel worse for a bit. That said if you can actually change your habits then you are going to do much better in the long run, it's just going to be a brief period of feeling like crap as your body actually notices how badly it's doing instead of just going "oh this is regular, ignore those pains and bad performances".

Yeah... I know what you mean. Sleep is pretty weird.

For a long time (at least a couple of years) when I was still living at home and quite depressed I slept very little, yet never felt as though I was tired even after playing videogames 'til sunrise and beyond. I think I kinda prided myself on not needing much sleep.

Then I moved out, and wound up sharing a house with a group of people who (at least when I'd just recently moved in) tended to go to bed very early, by my standards. Probably ten or eleven PM. Not wanting to go wandering noisily around the house when everyone else was trying to sleep, I started going to bed then, too- and after just a day or so of that I felt amazingly good, brimming with confidence and vigour that I never normally had.

It was then that I realised, all that time with my terribly unhealthy sleep pattern, I had been tired- extremely tired, I just never realised it because I had nothing else to compare it to. I'm definitely well aware of the benefits of having a set sleep schedule, and I've forced myself into one a few times in the past, it's just that my last few attempts have failed due to lack of willpower and various distractions.


...That was kind of rambly. Oh well.
I should really get around to starting up my 'go to bed at 11 pm, stay there until 7 am' routine again. Usually gives me some gnarly nightmares the first couple of nights, but then I start feeling really good.

Discovered Korpiklaani. Never been into metal but

Also, I has an idea about a secret santa for someone I know quite well and yet have no idea what to buy.

Does anyone know how one would gt a program for buying one item for less than £1 every day for five days on amazon, and mailing it to somebody's address?

So in Episode V, Yoda says that Luke going to rescue his friends will "destroy everything they've worked for". The worst thing that happens is that Luke loses his hand, and he gets a new robotic one anyway. Leia and Chewbacca escape, and they rescue Han at the beginning of the next movie.

Not even Luke's training was in danger. When he comes back to Dagobah, Yoda just says "lol nothing more to teach" anyway.

Always in motion, the future is.

CNN said that the source of the 'hoax' threat to the NYC school system (they said that the language in it was 'outlandish') seems to be coming from Frankfurt, Germany.

wut...........

I realize it might be proxied to just look like it's coming from Germany, but still, international pranking since when?

Do we have laws here in the US to arrest a German who pulls a stupid prank like that? If it really is coming from there. Or maybe it would be under German jurdicision.

It'd be up to the German authorities. International stuff like this can turn into a real mess, especially when, say, Americans get UK proxies and then say things that are illegal in the UK but entirely legal in the US, to a UK police department on Twitter.
