Post by: Noxx on 04 Jul 2014, 00:21
Two months off work and I'm still living on third shift, just foolin' around in the garage and listening to the neighborhood coyotes. We got any other night folks around here?

My sleep schedule is still pretty effed up. I usually manage to get into getting up early again, when the next exercise sheet is due and I stay up until 11 am. Then follows almost a week of moving around the clock, sometimes even with going to bed at 4pm and getting up at midnight.

I don't really think I have a sleep schedule anymore at this point.

But when I'm not forced into staying up because of exercise sheets I usually go to bed at around 7 am.

Pretty much any time I don't have work or school or something to keep me on a "normal" sleep schedule, I tend to naturally slip into a fully nocturnal one within a few days.

I suspect that I might actually be a vampire.

(I ended up not getting the bus and walking home at 1. It was okay, though, since a few other people had to walk into the same direction).

"Half <hour>" is short for "half past <hour>" in English usage.  Knowing that it's the other way around for you is something I was taught in German lessons at school.

0 dark 30 is a familiar associate of mine. (Military slang, precisely used it means thirty minutes after midnight, more generally it's used to refer to any time pre-dawn, aka "Fuck this o'clock"

01:30.
It is at these hours when I am alone and am not talking with anyone that I am either tidying my room like mad or am basically wallowing in selfpity. (Lack of sleep also facilitates dark thoughts.)

I also sometimes am more prone to creeping out myself when I have a lack of sleep (like being afraid of my own silhouette in the mirror when lights are off.) It has gotten better, though. When I was on my medication, there were one or two times when I was literally startled by my shadow appearing where I was not expecting it.

Just got home from my late night coffee and book ritual. As previously mentioned, the wife and the dogs are dead asleep. The dogs of course, have commandeered my side of the bed.

If this sounds like a simple problem to you, you have clearly never tried to relocate a comatose, snoring, and possibly flatulent 100lb American Bulldog. The guy who coined the phrase "Let sleeping dogs lie" had a gassy bulldog, I guarantee it.

Instead I'm out at my garage desk with the door open bein' generally creepy, and trying to weird out my neighbors. A guys gotta have a hobby.

It's just weird that I'm not considered noob if Garand still is. He joined before I did.

Anyway, coming back to topic:

I got myself some earplugs and OH MY GOD I SLEEP SO WELL WITH THEM.  I almost didn't hear my alarm clock, but it went "WHY DO YOU HATE ME" and turned the volume ALL THE WAY UP, so I managed to notice i.

I didn't wake when my PC randomly woke itself up from sleep mode (it does that sometimes. I'm convinced my PC is possessed).

Then I get home this morning and she tells me "I didn't even notice you left last night!", yeah, cuz you were busy imitating Ayers rock, in the center of the bed. rassafrassa.

True that.
I had a really nice night chatting in a café with a friend who had noticed me being bummed out about stuff. So we talked about what bummed me out, ethics, sense of life, our student paper and jewellery.
Café closed at 4, so I took a taxi home.
Now my sleep schedule is gonna be FUBAR for a few days, I guess.

It's 01:34.
I feel like I could stay awake indefinitely if I wanted to. But also like I could fall asleep if I chose to. Weird feeling.
Maybe that's from taking my valerian during the day - although it should be too mild to significantly mess with my sleep cycle.

Got lots of crap to do tonight at work. It all involves youth canteen orders.

(FYI: Youth in our JCF don't go to a central commissary and purchase items, like you would a grocery store. Instead, they fill out a scantron form and place an order through our storeroom. Guess who has to check amounts and limits and such - and has to mark incoming bags?)

I am not good at naps... I know this, but I went to bed at 7:30 anyway because I was so tired. Now here I am at 2:30am, distinctly not asleep any more, and not looking forward to the shenanigans that will inevitably be involved with getting back in bed and comfortable again.

Noxx, have you seen a doctor about your insomnia? It sounds like it's pretty severe (sorry if this is unwanted intrusion into your life).

Seeing a couple doctors about it. Ten years on third shift has really screwed me up.

Always feel free to ask. I R open book.
