seperis | this is not a normal monday

It's making me really uneasy that several of my flist are reporting they had trouble sleeping last night, as I finally fell asleep a bit after five am to get up at seven fifteen, which I will say sucks. Now granted, I have insomnia like whoa. But not usually until five am. And certainly not when the sleep is, at best, something I'm not even sure happened.

I was thinking UFOs. I'm willing to say I could be wrong, but I'll need proof.

I have this feeling--crazy thought--that this week is going to suck. A lot.

Yeah, I was up until 2:30 am for no good reason. I have no idea... Solar flares, man, solar flares.

Or maybe it's an autumn thing, where our circadian rhythms are all off due to waning sunlight.

There is that. Though I'm kinda attached to my aliens. *sad*

Autumnal alien migration?

:: Raps on wood :: I really hope not. And yeah, you aren't the only one who had problems falling asleep. However mine wasn't as extreme as yours.

Coffee and I are getting along great through.

~L

I am bonding with the coffee too. *clutches cup desperately*

Coffee, sugar & Creamer. They are the only thing making the day better so far. And I really want more coffee. :: Whimper :: And the people I work with make wimpy coffee.

~L

Hmmm... But there is that Starbucks just down the street.... Hmmmm!

I managed a full eight hours. Granted, I was hoping for more, but I've been so damn tired lately (looong work hours, and 1.5 days off in the last month), that I'm not surprised I got 8 hours. I also took a 2-hour nap yesterday.

Mmm. Naps.

*wistful* I like naps.

I was really surprised that it had only been two hours; it was just long enough for the sun to have gone down, so it was one of those really disorienting wake-ups where you have no idea what time it is, and ohcrap do you have to be somewhere.

(fortunately, no)

I just opened up LJ with the intent of moaning about the fact that I got NO sleep last night and dragged myself through the day only with the aid many caffinated beverages.

This is unusual for me because, although I used to be a raging insomniac, I've not had any inexplicable sleep problems of note in a couple of years. When I went to bed last night, I was exhausted and couldn't wait to get to sleep, but when I got there, it was all O.O

UFOs it is.

*winces* Yes, this. Tired. And unable to sleep.

UFO theory FTW!

I myself had no trouble sleeping. The baby was another story entirely.

Child slept fantastically. I spent ten minutes this morning resenting his bouncing well-restedness.

I slept like a log! I'm in Europe, though. According to movies, aliens pretty much only ever go to America, so I guess that makes sense.

*chokes* This is--sad.

Hey, Dr. Who says all aliens go to London. And the rift is in Wales. So there.

Something is in Wales, alright. Something that seems to think that 4 hours hours of sleep in any 24 hour period is more than enough, thank you very much. For once, however this was not last night, since I was at work and meant to be awake all night anyway. I payed for this audacity to circumvent the rules with the migrane from hell, and have never been more appreciative that most of my patients are heavily sedated.

Coffee is our friend.

I woke up at 6 (have to get up at five starting Wednesday) and then flopped back into bed.

*winces*

Yes, it was wince-worthy, and tomorrow, I have to get up early so I can do a dry run for Wednesday, you know, find my class rooms and wander around campus so I KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING is.

If it makes you feel better I slept great last night.

Well, technically, it should, but I find myself resenting it anyway.

This resentment is inversely proportional to the amount of coffee remaining in my coffee cup. *stare into cup* There is not much.

Put me down for that insomnia thing, too. For me, it pretty much started during the summer. Last night - 330am. This morning - up at 730am. Fun, fun, fun.

I got like 12 hours but my sleep schedule is fucked to fucking hell and I probably could've slept another six or so without blinking.

I share the feeling the week is going to suck, though. Already went home sick from work early, am having arthritis flare from hell.

Well, I had my sleep weirdly interrupted early this morning, was awake for some hours and then fell asleep again to wake much later than usual. I think the time frame coincides with your late evening... OTOh I just have sometimes trouble to stay asleep, so I can't necessarily blame it on UFOs.

Took sleeping pill due to current meds for bronchitis not letting me sleep. Woke up at 3 am when my partner elbowed me in the back and couldn't fall back asleep until about 5 am. Somehow, in the half hour before my alarm went off, had an extremely vivid dream involving what amounted to poorly scripted show boat community theater. I am seriously contemplating using this as a fic idea...

I have decided that sleep is for the weak and unworthy. I've been up for well over 36 hours now and am doing stupid, sleep deprived shit just because *I can*.

At least I have a reason for it - hotel bed, hotel noise, stupid front desk messaging me at three in the morning.

I'm surprised at the synchronicity, though. Wow.

Yeah, I'm another that had an awful night's sleep. Poor aliens, getting a bum rep.

Just thought of something... Today is Mabon, astrologically speaking. Maybe the Gods were just fucking with us all, and there were no aliens involved?

I couldn't fall asleep, must have finally dozed off at some point after 3:30am because I woke from some very disturbing and unhappy-making dream images at five-something...

UFOs. Has to be.

Oh. Ori?

I woke up at 04:17 Central time due to random cramping. Aliens!

So I'm not the only one with this vibe.

My truck died last night. Catalytic converter we think. It's at the shop now and they've have called me with an estimate yet but I'm scared.

I slept OK last night but I think that was pure exhaustion. There is something ominous about this week. I don't like it.

5:30 EST, cold sweat, horrible nightmares. If we start getting matching times on this I'm going to be a little freaked out...

I slept 12 hours last night. That said, I knocked myself out with Nyquil (the ragweed allergies kicked in yesterday) and spent 12 hours having weird dreams. And then woke up to find that oil jumped $21/barrel and I really need to top off my gas tank.

I find myself agreeing with your hypothesis. ;P

Actually, I have a very good reason why we're all up at night.

We are short 4 investment banks that were around just 10 days ago.

We're down 5 on the year.

That's kind of worrying.

Even if not consciously.

(OTOH, at least there's now unemployment, social security, and FDIC insurance of what deposits we actually have.)

me too, man. but you know this.

Usually I have no trouble at all going to sleep and sleeping through the entire night, but last night I couldn't fall asleep til almost two AM. Then I awoke around five and was in an annoying half-asleep state for about an hour before falling asleep again just to be woken up by my alarm clock at six thirty.

I had problems sleeping all last night, then found out this morning that my sister's cat had a siezure about 3:30, then subsequently died.

Not a good night at all. Bad vibes all around.

*looks to the skies for cigar shaped object*
Now? Would that be a big *fat* cigar or a slimline Panatella?

I seem to recall sleeping just fine Sunday night -- when I finally went to bed, at about 2am. But then, I'd been up all night Saturday (I clearly recall hitting the sack at 5:40am because I was pondering waiting another 20 minutes just so I could turn my 6am weekday alarm back on and make sure I wouldn't forget to do so at some point that day) and gotten about four hours of sleep that morning. Eight hours spread out over two nights counts like one night's sleep plus one night of insomnia, right?
