Okay, so Youtube didn't have the Amazing Awake Lady clip, but this is from the same episode.
I always think it's strange when I can get four hours of sleep a night and still be awake the other twenty hours of the day, since normally less than seven hours of sleep results in prolonged episodes of sleeping with my eyes open at work. With all that time on my hands, you'd think I got a lot of reading or writing done. Ummm, not.
In case you find yourself caught in this predicament, I've compiled a list of things
1. Consider recording the sound of Beloved Husband snoring and then posting on Internet.
2. Flash SOS with the front porch light and see how long it takes the cops to show up.
3. Google insomnia.
4. Reconsider posting audio of husband snoring.
5. Watch the movie 2010 and marvel at how awake I really am since every other time I have watched this movie, it put me to sleep within an hour.
6. Cross off Stay Awake During 2010 from bucket list.
7. Curse my decision to Google Channing Tatum. O.O
8. Marvel at the marketing genius that is Google. They've turned their brand into a verb.
9. Succeed at meditation for the first time, instead of falling asleep.
10. Write a blog post about Insomnia.
Ever had insomnia? What did you do to pass the time?
I'm sorry about your insomnia, but it sure did inspire a funny post! So which of those things DIDN'T you try??? I've got an idea, let's switch places. You come to my house and listen to the screaming baby, since you can't sleep anyways, and i'll go to your house and drift off in the silence. (my husband snores too...i'll bring my ear plugs!)--hope you are sleeping right now!!!! christy
ReplyDeleteInsomnia suckskkks. Yes, I've had it. I've always been a night owl, so that doesn't help. But during the last couple of years of high school, insomnia hit me hard. I was stressed out & that equated to bad sleeps. I never really got over it, either, though it's toned down since high school days. Still takes me a fair while to get to sleep, even on a good night.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes indeedy it sucks. I'm a night owl as well, but during the week I have to drag my patoot out of bed so dang early!
DeleteI'm not sure what's causing this. I don't feel particularly stressed out, but obviously something is going on.
I'm told my shifting hormones will only make insomnia ever more prevalent over the next few years. Yippie. I usually lie awake and let my brain rev and too many rpm's until I finally fall asleep an hour or two before I need to get up.
ReplyDeleteI have rarely had insomnia, although as I've gotten older I don't sleep as much. What I do when I can't sleep is read, in bed. Or... I lie on my back and, starting with my toes, meditate/think about each toe, becoming heavy, sleepy. I move slowly form one toe to the next, then each heel, each ankle, each muscle, tendon, each bone. I don't think I've ever made it past my knees.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I HATE when this happens to me. I need me my sleep! I usually resort to drugging myself to sleep when this happens ... probably not a good thing to do. But since I only end up taking Tylenol PM about once a month, I hope I can't get addicted :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the porch light SOS! I'm still chuckling. :)
ReplyDelete#7 :-)
ReplyDeleteHopefully you drifted off you sleep and had pleasant dreams.
Eventually. He is dreamy.
DeleteI LOVE Mad About You.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to be Jamie.
But also to sleep more.
So.
Aw, I used to watch Mad About You!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm guessing you managed to cross off quite a few things on that list? ;-)
I usually read or go on Pinterest to chill out my brain. And I just smack my hubs when he snores too loud!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Ahh--this is the funniest post. I read it before, but children must've intervened. I don't see my comment. The best part was the one about crossing "staying awake during 2010" off the bucket list. And I've never Googled Channing Tatum. I find him a bit annoying, but he is pretty. ;p I hate insomnia, btw. Hope you got some rest Monday~ <3
ReplyDeleteToo funny! And frustrating. I've been there too - I usually end up reading :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Mad About You - thanks for the flashback :)
I'm sorry to hear you had insomnia. I've had trouble sleeping a few times--thought it happens pretty rarely overall--and usually just end up lying there trying to relax more.
ReplyDeleteI blog. :)
ReplyDeleteLol, you make me laugh. :) Though I'm sorry about the insomnia. I've never been cursed with it, but I'd probably spend way too much time on Facebook and Pinterest.
