Well...that was strange...

[candyland]

As those of you who I left hanging in chat might have noticed, I vanished somewhere around, what, ten-thirty or eleven? My body just sort of...shut down. Like, I could not function anymore. I was trying to look up some patterns online--my knitting bag recently acquired a hole, and I thought maybe I'd make myself a new one. When you can't center the mouse pointer over the link, you know you need to be done for the night.

So I went to bed early. Yet this morning, I am exhausted. I did not sleep well.

At some point in the night, I know I grabbed the second pillow from my bed and clung to it like a teddy bear...and then I guess I must have thrown it because when I woke up it was across the room. I also recall waking up at around a quarter to midnight and being very confused because I thought I needed to get up. So I toddled in to check my email...and realized that it was still the middle of the night.

After that, I woke up pretty much every hour on the hour from three AM until my alarm went off.

And I had the most bizarre dreams, too. I dreamt about LJ (is this someone's way of telling me to take a hiatus or something?), that I'd made some sort of a post about...something. I can't remember what, though I know it was something fandom-related. And at first it was just my friends commenting...until all of a sudden a whole bunch of people I didn't know started commenting. They claimed to be from 4chan (!!!!), and it just went all crazy.

The weirdest part was one of them (and I can actually remember the username was "fandom_section") left me this really long comment about my fics. But in my dream, the words literally kept changing back and forth between praising my writing and telling me it sucked. I couldn't even read it because it kept changing.

And I never actually saw myself in the dream. It was just a computer screen--not even a keyboard or anything. The words just sort of...appeared on there while I watched. It was crazy.


But anyway...mentor meeting after school tonight, so I'll be home later than normal. Think I'll make that pasta dish for dinner and then maybe sprawl out somewhere and stare off into space. Or knit and write. Knitting and writing are also things of goodness.

Okay, gotta jet... *rooooooooolls away*

isn't that the 2nd-3rd time you've done that? i think you should try go to bed around 10 to stop yourself being worked too hard. if your not getting 8 hours sleep at least -3- times a weak you know somethings up x:

just try and deligate priorites to SLEEP and WORK and LJ and chatting as a second goal x:

Well, I've had a couple of nights where I've done the "shut down and lose consciousness" thing, but last night was the first where I haven't slept well as a result. Earlier this week I was doing fine.

And I'm actually getting more sleep now than I was before in terms of number of hours. So...it's actually getting better *gg*

if your compairing before you had a job, where your not working so much, where you dont' need as much sleep to now then... you gotta remember you need sleep in preportion to how much energy you -use- x:

... That sounds like an awesome and freaky experience. 8D

I tend to do that once in a while, where I just conk out in front of the computer. Although, I can't give any good advice since the more I sleep, the more sleepier I become rather than being alert.

You're not coming down with anything though, right? I remember dizzy spells and warped rooms a lot when I get a fever.

It was easily one of the weirdest dreams I've had that I can still remember in the morning >_>;; DO NOT WANT.

When I was in college and had my laptop (and wireless internet), I would do that ALL the time--fall asleep with my laptop open on the bed next to me or on my nightstand. And I'd wake up to crazy IMs asking where I was or if I was alive ^^;; Now I tend to wake up in bed and not remember walking down the hall to get there.

I don't think I'm getting sick. I mean, aside from being tired I feel fine :S

I have a terrible, terrible sleeping schedule. :| Last night was the first night in a long time that I've gotten more than three hours sleep. (I usually go to sleep around 4-5am and get up at 8am) Is baaaaaaad.

Your icon is WIN.

Thanks! \o/

When I first moved into my new apartment, I was fine for a couple of nights, and then...insomnia. Like...I wasn't falling asleep until five AM, I'd be moving around trying different places to sleep (the bed, the couch, the floor, a chair) before I'd finally crash. Now I just feel like I'm getting boring because I can't stay up as late as I did when I was in college--where my record for staying up chatting was around six-thirty AM :D
