I haven't either... I could definitely use a nap right now. lol.

That does sound tough. When I'm tired just trying to comprehend english is hard enough, but ASL... I'd die.

Sleep is so important, but I definitely admire people who can still go to school or work with no sleep.

I used to be able to do that. Then when I graduated high school, I spent a year not doing anything and I got spoiled with too much sleep. Now I feel like a complete zombie if I don't get at least 4-5 hours of sleep. I can't function or anything, I can't even walk if I don't get enough sleep.

I have schizophrenia that's triggered easily, and with little sleep I start hallucinating again and screaming and crying... it's almost like I go into a trance. I HAVE to have at least 7 hours EVERY night and it's really really inconvenient. But it's better than seeing the noise again. [:(] Even with medication... it use to be a lot worse.

See it's not really an issue, it's just tiring. I can do it - most days. Then again I've been signing for five years now. [yes] I'm not tired enough for a nap, I'm just tired.

I've been doing this stupid stress/insomnia college thing for eight years now, that's how I can do it... -.- The stupid college thing that I'm so considering just running from as I'm so sick of it. D: I usually only get 5 or 6 hours a night... if I'm lucky. Usually WAY less. When I was in HS I needed more sleep, this whole insomnia thing started getting WAY worse when I started college... YEARS ago.

At least you know what works for you even if it isn't super convenient.

So, those videos from yesterday remind me of this.

I have something called schizoaffective disorder, and it's basically schizophrenia and bipolar disorder so I totally feel your pain! ;(
When I start missing sleep for days on end I usually end up so out of control I have to go to the hospital. Sleep is soooo crazy important and even more so for people with mental health disorders!


@Cloud
That sounds tough! Have you tried giving yourself a sleep schedule? Like, have a set of things you do to prepare your body for sleep?

Edit;

Is that "Shit Girls Say"? I'm on my phone so I can't really watch it right now, but I loved Shit Girls Say!! Lol!

Ava: Nope, schedules don't work. I try to do that, but I'll still be up to crazy hours of the night, even with me trying to sleep. [yes] If I'm lucky, I'll be asleep by 12:30 am, usually it's closer to 2 am or 3 am. [yes] And that's with me trying to go to bed by 11 pm. Or earlier. :/ Yeah, they don't work for me. And I refuse to take meds for it, because forcing myself to sleep when I'm not tired makes my body rebel against me even more. :/

*slides in* whats up all??

.---.;; I sleep at the most random-ass times.

lol Yes it is... That guys literally makes me laugh. haha.

@Cloud
Oh, I see. :(
Yeah, I'm the same way with medication. I find that when I take my medication for sleep, I still manage to stay awake for a couple of hours because my body is like; "Sleep?! Challenge accepted!!!" And then my mind goes a hundred miles a minute.

Have you thought about seeing a sleep specialist maybe?

Ava: I know what causes my insomnia to act up ... nothing that they could tell me. It's caused by the stress that college causes. Plain and simple. I sleep better when I'm at home on break... I get back to school... guess what, the insomnia is back... Plus that costs money, which I don't have.

For me, they make me sleep, but I wake up feeling even more yucky and out of it than I would have felt if I didn't sleep. So yeah, meds are not for me. I make do with what sleep I get.

I'm happy, i got ride of my headache.. and in a minute i need to start the laundry 'grimces' fun fun not..

@sjacklene
OKAY SO...

So I'm home now for a little while and I just watched that video! OMG. It's hilarious and I can relate to it, it's so painful! xD Some days I just want to chop all of my hair off because it frustrates me so much!

@Cloud
I can understand that. :( That sounds like a real pickle to be in. D: I hope that once college is over, (which is soon, right?) then your sleep will be able to become a little more regular. Getting hardly any sleep each night is awful.

@star
Good luck with the laundry!

Star: Yay for getting rid of your headache!! Definitely a relief there!

Ava: I hope so, but we'll see. I'm not really holding my breath. It's still iffy even when I'm not in school - but not quite nearly as bad, but a bad day every so often. At least the plus is that when I don't have things to do, I can sometimes, sort of sleep in... if sleep decides to let me. xDD See thing is, after 8 years of it. I'm used to it... I do my homework at night, when I can't sleep. And that routine works for me.

I don't even try anymore. My hair never goes the way I want it too so I don't mess with it. There will be some days I don't even brush my hair. I shower and go. My hair never holds a curl when I curl it so I usually don't. If I would blow dry it, it usually goes straight and FLAT. And if I let it air dry it gives it some body. So I usually just let it do its thing on its own. haha.

I normally throw my hair up, mostly because of my major, I can't have hair in front of my face as being able for people to see my face when I am conversing with them is key. [yes]
But there are times when my hair cooperates and I feel ok having it down, which is rarely.
I always air dry it as blow drying hair is bad for it.

CloudDreamer: I'm feeling much better today, and yesterday a good thing happened. You helped me to keep my spirits up. I know you don't like pings, but I need to tell you something very important.

Thank you.

On a happier note then yesterday.....I now have a G-231 Yamaha Guitar :D

No worry about the ping, just as long as they're not all the time. ^_^
And I'm glad that I helped. ^-^ And that your day today is going much better, that's great! If you ever need to talk again in the future, my inbox is always open. You're very welcome. :]

That's great! Is that something you've wanted for awhile? ^_^

hmm how's this for a v day outfit?

@Cloud & sjacklene

I hate doing my hair too! Lol. My hair is very, very curly. It tries to be an afro if I just let it do it's own thing, but it always looks awful if I don't attempt to style it. My hair is so weird, it takes years to straighten and there's no point in curling it.
And I had my hair cut a year ago by some idiot who felt that I needed my hair "layered" so now it's really choppy and I can't pull it into a big puff because some "layers" are too short. Dx

Fuu! *glomp*

lol. Guess what! Where on page 469!

My hair is just wavy/curly (it can't make up it's mind most of the time.
I totally know the feeling about just not having the patience to straighten it. Plus my hair won't stay straight. xD
Ugh, I love layers yet hate them at the same time. I can say that when I did get it layered the last time, the guy who did it did make it look really cute. I can try to find a pic, if y'all wanna see. Although given that I have no patience, it'll never look that cute again. :P

You could always do it at night! I had a friend who would wash, dry and straighten her hair at night, put it in a wrap, and then when she woke up, she just needed to do some finishing touches.

I wanna see! I am sure you can get it just as good!
