That special kind of tired
 
So. Mene.
It is... 1:12 AM here. I am sleepy.
But at the same time, I feel like I could do ANYTHING. My mind is racing. There are about three CDs I want to listen to suddenly, a movie I want to watch, I want to clean my room, I want to write something, I'm compiling a mix tape CD thingy (full of saddish songs, so I titled it "Emoangst." The key is to never ever take yourself too seriously.), I'd like to play with my hamster, and if you give me a few minutes, I'll probably discover more things that I want to do.
Like right now, jumping on my bed while listening to Man In The Box sounds like a really good idea. I have no idea why.

These are the times that I really wish that I lived my boyfriend. He gets like this sometimes too. So we could like... go to walmart and buy... hamster food or something. And sing Lost in the Supermarket. Because we're clever like that.

BUT ONTO MY POINT.
Everyone acts differently when they're sleepy. Sometimes they turn into zombies who shuffle around muttering and brushing their teeth before finally collapsing into their beds, only to wake up the next morning and do the same thing in reverse.
Some people just slowly get sleepy and are able to do their stuff and then go to bed.
Some people get HYPER and slap happy.
And some people get like I am. And they want to do everything. AT ONE IN THE MORNING.
So which are you? How do you normally act when you get sleepy?
Speaking of sleep, what's your sleep schedule?
TALK ABOUT SLEEP. AND BEING SLEEPY.

Haha, I get that a lot too. I didn't feel like posting on Mene earlier, but now at 2:30 A.M., I feel like posting around. And I want to finish this j-drama I started watching, which would be another two and a half hours.

I usually just get mad at myself for doing this. And by time I start getting ready for bed, I turn into zombie mode. The computer waves keep me awake and as soon as I move away, I slink around half dead. xD

Exactly!
You think "Oh, I can do anything!" And then you stand up and pretty much pass out. XD
I played with my hamster a bit, and now I'm about to pass out... I need to go brush my teeth and then go to bed.
Hopefully, I'll JUST brush my teeth. Not get distracted by something. Then it takes like, half an hour. DX

I turn into some sort of humming bird at night. Seriously.

I want to do everything. I want to watch a movie, play FFR, play DDR (even though my dance pads are broken ithank you very much elder brother), listen to music, cook, craft, draw, clean... everything!

... And it's really weird. Maybe it's because I'm afraid of the dark? I don't like it, so I don't sleep until it's light out? Meh. Maybe I just have a lousy sleep schedule.

Most of all, I want my friends over so we can play hide and seek all night, and then get the airsoft guns and have a round of RL Counter-Strike. My brother made a short of two of our friends playing, and for his first it's kinda fun to watch XD

And then, when I'm at my wit's end, I post long rambling messages like this on Menewsha.

Furious 03-28-2008 06:43 AM

I get pretty much the same way XD When I get tired, I get all squeeish, and any random thing makes me squee with delight. Seriously, I'll go 'Eeeegh! ^-^'. And then I want to do tons of things. All at once, and I can't decide WHAT to do, though. It's fun, though XD I get a lot of things done that I normally don't...Albeit, nothing too eventful, but you get my point X3

Pkero 03-28-2008 06:45 AM

I'm in Florida, and going to the Everglades tomorrow. I'm tired, and on my aunt's laptop. When it dies, I'm going to play my Wii. I just don't want to sleep. xD

`Riddle 03-28-2008 07:24 AM

I suppose I'm the first one.
When I'm tired, I just want to drop dead and fall asleep in my soft lovely bed.
If I don't, my back starts to hurt, and so does every other part of my body. x_x

Beff With An F 03-28-2008 07:55 AM

It's nearly 8 am right now and I haven't slept yet. =D I'm really tired! I woke up at 5:30 pm yesterday though. I always feel tired at night, no matter what, but if I get up in the afternoon I can never sleep at a normal time.

mystic kiwi 03-28-2008 08:15 AM

I tend to have an irregular sleep schedule. I work odd hours so sometimes I don't sleep until 1AM, while other days I'm able to go to bed at 8PM or so. It all depends on when I get tired too. When I'm tired, I like to do everything at once since I seem to have more energy when I have little or no sleep. It really doesn't make any sense. I also have a bad habit of going shopping at like 3AM. For example, tonight, my sister and I went to a few stores that were open 24 hours a day because we felt like going shopping at 2 in the morning.

davyjoneslover 03-28-2008 09:04 AM

It's 8.01pm! Australia :P Well; 8.03 now or something like that! I'm on a buzz waiting for DINNER :o, happy buzz mainly; but sleep is evil! It made me miss out on The Godfather last night >.> I'm not one to be able to stay up late at night, I can stay awake til about 4am but then I hit the hay :(

the hidden one and only 03-28-2008 09:09 AM

I would have to say I am giggly and make as much sense as your first post made. That is me when I am tired.
I don't believe I have ever been as hyper as you seem when sleepy, in fact the opposite, I want to do very little and everything is very funny. I am not sure why sleepiness affects people differently but it does.

Saisei 03-28-2008 10:26 AM

When I get tired, it usually comes on all at once. I can finish up whatever I'm doing and then go to bed. If I fight through that phase, then I get to the head-nodding tired where you can barely keep awake. If for whatever reason I make it though that (for instance, if I'm working on a big project or homework when I was in school) I move into the slap-happy tired where everything is funny. After that is exhaustion and a nap wherever I am.

I'm more in my prime early in the morning. We've been having early work days lately and I've been loving it. A bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee and leaving just in time to see the sun come up. http://www.ffosg.com/blog/emoticons/thumbs.gif

Toria 03-28-2008 01:02 PM

Oh jeez.

When I get tired, I tend to get extreamly hyper, and much more insane. I find myself wanting to do more stuff than I would if I was totally awake. I'm jumpy and happy. But the only thing is that I KNOW I'm tired. So I can usually sleep, even in this state ;)

juniper_silver 03-28-2008 01:44 PM

Usually when I'm tired I'm just sleepy and go to bed, but if I've had a really good day or am with certain groups of friends I get really slap happy instead. My cousins always make me feel that way. They're really crazy so we go out and do things like dress up weird to go to the store.

Last night I was in the same mood as you though. I stayed up until 3am even though I had to get up before 8. I read a book, cleaned my room(though it still needs some work), posted on gaia, and started a journal. I need more of those moods, seriously. I could get so much more done if I weren't so sleepy all the time.

Nightshade1988 03-28-2008 01:58 PM

When I'm tired I tend to get quiet.

Trinitydoll 03-28-2008 02:53 PM

depends I think when Im tired I get hyper but with a will to finish everythinggggggg like cleaning tidying up dishes avie sites events or day objectives (like getting x money) but then....I die litteraly cause Im so tired!!! and sometimes I end up really beaten up xD

moonhail 03-28-2008 03:17 PM

I get a burst of energy when I'm sleepy. For maybe ten minutes I can't sit still and talk loudly to no one in particular about various things. Then I turn into a zombie and get really cranky until I get some sleep.

I know what you mean! I am SUCH a lazy, procrastinating person. If I could feel like that during the day, I could get SO much done.
Most of the time at night, I'm a zombie. Last night was rare.
I think I was feeding off of my boyfriend's energy. XD He stayed up late (though I stayed up later) and he was being goofy and stuff, so I took from that.

Purdy Possum Pie 03-28-2008 05:47 PM

Hello ::huggies:: remember me XD hope so anyways ^ ^

I ended up going to bed early last night because I was so tired. I have been doing spring cleaning on the house and I am working on my daughters room. I am taking a break right now before I go back into that mess. Plus my dad came up yesterday I was so tired I could not even cook so I told him to bring up some pizza instead. That way it is easy clean up lol.

Hope you got lots of sleep it is hard running on fumes and they soon run out. ::Hands some caffeine just incase::.

cyanidecookie 03-29-2008 03:21 AM

I love being tired and hyper! it's the greatest. Stay up for like, 2 days. you get so hyper...

Fin Raziel 03-29-2008 06:03 AM

I do my best writing when I'm about to pass out. I force myself occasionally to stay up and write when I'm exhausted, until I really can't function anymore.

But sometimes I get to that point, too, when I can think of a zillion wonderful things I'd love to do--play Sims, watch a movie, EAT, etc.--but I'm just too darn tired to do them.

smolder 03-30-2008 12:04 AM

When I'm really really tired I get goofy. I'll laugh really loudly at things that aren't really funny or things that I just thought of (so I just burst out laughing when nobody has said anything and people look at me funny), I stumble over and into things, I gesture with my arms alot (people tell me its more like just flailing wildly), and I don't understand when people try to explain things to me.

Like I said, this is when I'm really really tired. Sadly, with my insomnia it has happened quite often. The thing is, I'm usually quiet an a bit reserved but when I get to this point I just act crazy. People usually thing I'm on drugs or drunk. :)

Lurking 2.0 03-30-2008 12:57 AM

I don't usually let myself get too tired, so I can't really say for sure. I know that when I'm really tired, like when I'm sick or didn't sleep that well, I just sort of walk around on autopilot.

However, at a certain point in tired-ness, I get an energy rush and can stay up for another few hours feeling fine before I go into autopilot again.

Queen Fool 03-30-2008 01:38 AM

I don't do much during the day. Not much that's productive, anyway.

Then like the hour before I go to bed, I try to do 20 things at once. Talk on the phone, read a book, do my homework, watch TV...

Keru 03-30-2008 04:07 AM

at about 3am, i always feel the sudden urge to make a new art shop. i don't know why, i just always seem to want to make an art shop late at night. then i make samples and stuff and i'm like "i'll post it in the morning." then i never do. x_x
