Comp Hiatus

Mon Jul 14, 2008, 2:56 AM
Okay...

I've somehow managed to severely screw up my sleep schedule (again -_-), and can't get it back on track! yay! My current theory deals with the couch being a hot place to sleep + having to sleep relatively fully dressed in case some bright person decides to throw open the blinds. Well.. that plus the headaches I'm getting.

Pills aren't doing much, but I bought this nifty hammer recently and it just might do the trick (j/k I didn't buy a hammer... I have no money to do so x.x)

Anyway, because of this, my productivity levels have plummeted down to personal record breaking lows. I've been essentially waking up, working, going home, communicating with people for an hour or two, and struggling to sleep until 5:00, whereupon I generally crash and wake up just in time to scramble out the door to work ten minutes behind schedule. Rise, lather, repeat.

I haven't been able to work on much of anything at all. Story ideas, art stuffs, skteches, rp posts... It's not that I don't have ideas and inspirations, It's just that the energy required to actually work on them simply isn't there because I'm not sleeping right.

So I'm taking a computory hiatus (is computory a word???) to eliminate at least one source of intense distraction and to focus on fixing myself a bit more. Don't know how long it will last, but if this goes on longer than a month or two, I'll probably get online just to type something crazy in my insomnia-induced paranoia and post an extreeeeeeme close up of my gigantic panda eyes.

I had no idea. I hope you get to read this before going on your hiatus. From the sound of it, you're right on the mark. You're getting way to hot when you sleep and its in turn making you restless. You can also tell if, when you sleep, you're having a lot of bad dreams or long and annoying dreams that often accompany being too hot or being drugged.

Since you have to sleep fully clothed, I suggest you invest in a fan, though it doesn't have to be big. It could just help alleviate some of the heat with a breeze. And choose lighter pieces of clothing if you can.

Also, you might like to get an inflatable mattress or a cot since they tend to be cooler and you won't be sleeping on the hot couch.

If you get to fix being too hot in the night, you'll not only rest better, but I'll bet the headaches stop, too.

Good luck, chica. :3 :sushi:

Had to check xDD

Don't worry about it too much. You didn't know because I didn't really say anything about it x3. I mean I joke from time to time about having a super-wierd sleep schedule,but I don't recall saying it was this bothersome to you or Mirches. I did sleep well when I stayed the night though, that was great ^.^

And thanks for seconding my theory, I'ma gonna work on that when i get home. And I have indeed been having wierd dreams @_@ (I had another one about me being pregnant, wtf???)

Thank you so much for the advice. I'll call ya later, There's some things to work out on the trip still :D :D
