Reason for sleep deprivation

[awf170]

The only thing that ever prevents me from falling asleep is anxiety about unconciousness. I know that sounds wierd, but when I start thinking about how I wake up in the morning not remembering having fallen asleep, with a skewed sense of time for the period I was out, it makes me anxious about falling asleep. If I'm tired enough though, I want sleep enough that I look forward to it instead. Sometimes all it takes is a boring book.

...and I thought I was the only one. Engineerds unite!

Oh I disagree! I've realized I'm dreaming before. It's called Lucid dreaming. More info here: http://www.dreamviews.com/.

Yeah, and it's basically the premise behind this band:

Supposedly most of their music was composed during Lucid dreaming. Not positive I believe it, but they do make the best prog rock ever (yeah, that's right. Ever.) , so maybe it is true.

Austin, drug induced haze != lucid dreaming.

Gotta love late night Root DKJ Orion smoked meat reports! Those are very sleep deprivation worthy!

since I can't sleep.....

Mmmmm.

Reason number 6.
I played volleyball last night, fell asleep immediately when I got home, then woke up with the reality that I stressed my bursitis riddled shoulder with my serve.
Aches and pains can and do wake me up from time to time.

Thanks for the yummy pics Root

Oh yeah, that trumps the dog waking Brian at 3AM to puke. You have my sympathies... Hope she's feeling better.

I woke up at 2 this morning.
Then I went back to sleep.

Gee thanks! I wasn't really planning on traveling with it....

That's ok, I'd help out any way I could. Taste tester, seasoning inspector, wet-nap handout guy, etc... Me and ribs go way back!

Root do you need two assistants..I can be in charge of wet-naps if Beetlenut is a no show

Ah, projectile vomiting always trumps the aging pee necessity.

Hope the little one is feeling better.

I used to get paid to sleep. I was an EMT on the 8p to 8a shift. If it was slow, once the 4-12 guys left, man it was lights out until the pagers went off.

In the 4 years I did that job, once on a Saturday night, I slept my whole shift. I had really needed it because I went to the beach all day and was wicked tired.

Heh, I worked the same shift at the fire station in college for a while.

Once the truck checks and station work was done... time to park the arse in front of the TV and then go to bed. Of course, where I was we were guaranteed to go out probably twice or three times any given night.
