There ya go.

That's better. Guess your friend wins!

I kinda' wish I could sleep for twelve hours straight, some days. Nowadays, more than eight or nine (usually less in one go, most of the time) gives me an absolutely massive (splitting, oh-fuck-kill-me) headache when I wake up, which is just no fun whatsoever. It's always a sad day when that day's sleep leaves you more exhausted and in pain.

Hate biology. Really, really do. C'mon singularity, I want my REM cycle to have a 1/0 toggle.

[Mechatronic]

Slept for about three days with Ross River Fever. No more than 18 hours from tiredness though.

The WTF thread is talking about sleep when I can't sleep because I'm finishing my finals T.T  aaaaaaaaaugh.

In a way, this sort of internal drama is just how things work at Langley, says one former CIA officer. "Do you know how many CIA officers are jerks?" the former officer told The Post. "If that was a disqualifier, the whole National Clandestine Service would be gone." He added, "The agency is a funny place, very insular. It's like middle schoolers with clearances."

When I was clinically depressed back in college, I went through a phase where I slept about 20 hours a day. EVERY day. For a couple of weeks. Only got up to go nibble a bit of dinner and watch Animaniacs on the big TV in the parlor.

When I went to Australia, they wouldn't let us go to sleep after we got there, to try and force our body clocks to adjust. So after about 36 hours of straight wakefulness, I collapsed about 4pm on a Saturday and woke up about 8am on Monday (~40 hours sleep). Apparently I slept through a small typhoon, wherein South Australia got close to a year's worth of rain in two days.

You must have been starving after that.

This was back when I was 5'10" and 115lbs. (1.78m and 52kg, for our anti-Imperial friends). I was a bit peckish, but not too bad.

Once, I spent the better part of four days asleep when I had influenza. My dreams were.....very.......   Very. There's really nothing else to say about them.

I remember first time sleeping after having my wisdom teeth out, with a double dose of Vicodin and the residual nitrous oxide in my system (they didn't knock me out for the procedure, just novocaine and laughing gas).

Dude.
DUDE.
Tripping balls. For a while there, I was awake and lucid while I was still dreaming. It was like an overlay on my vision. And it was pretty damn vivid, lots of Celtic mythology type shit. I'm pretty sure that at some point, Cernunnos the Horned God turned my closet door into the World Tree. The fact that I was taking a course on theoretical analysis of mythology that semester (and was a Pagan at the time) probably played a part there.

The entire anonymous imageboard community of Aurorachan made me go "What the fuck?" today. I think I'm done catering to assholes whose favorite pastimes are anime-themed roleplaying and deviant fetishism, especially when they speak broken English and only like me because I have a ton of high quality Japanese artwork and a ton of pictures with funny jokes, memes, or useful information.

Pic related, it's how many images I had before I made this little one that shows how many I have. This folder is the only reason people in the anonymous imageboard community as a whole like me. At least people here don't ask me for much of anything outside of that one guy in the food thread that wanted the recipes I couldn't post in said thread due to offensive language.

shit i did that one. I took another vicodin after 15 minutes from forgetting i already took my dose, after another 15 minutes gravity got turned up and felt REALLY sleepy. knowing i got seconds, i crawled with what brain function i got left onto the couch and went to sleep in seconds. All i know that was the most peaceful sleep i ever got, too bad im not ready to do that again

Speaking of dreams, I had a really bizarre (and somewhat disgusting) one last night.

Basically, it was In A World (tm) that had an ongoing WWI-style conflict but with American Revolutionary War-era medicine. Thus, amputations and other surgeries without anesthetic.

And guess who had a front-row seat to various horrific procedures that I'm not even sure were real? Dream-self, that's who.

One of the most vivid moments was a guy who came in with a bullet wound. Doctor proceeded to slice the guy's arm open, jab a giant eyedropper into the cut to drain most of the blood, and then squeeze the arm like a sponge to get rid of the rest. Only then did he reach in with some pliers to remove the bullet. Then the doctor left the guy on the operating table, telling the guy to get some sleep for his amputation the next day.

I've got no idea WTF caused this.

Guy next door down just sang for about five minutes about "enemy harriers" and "bitch-ass motherfuckers". I don't know about anyone else, but when I start doing improv vocals about the game I'm playing, I'm probably going to stop.
