Sleep is a poor substitute for caffeine.

I'm slepping something like 5 hours per day ...
I'm going to sleep something around 2/3 am and i'm on at 7/8 am.
I'm at work from 10am to 8-10 pm and rest of the free time i spend with my "chaps" Wink
But it's impossible to me to fall asleep before 1am ... Maybe bacause i'm drinking to much coke during the day.

BTW : What the heck is "brown sugar" ? Isn't it a nickname for heroine ?
oh ;] found it on the Wikipedia but i still don't know what the heck is it ...
Anyone can explain this to me in a simple way?

Would you think so, I'm nearly immune to the effects of caffeine. I drink copious amounts of coffee each day (0.25L mugs, not the wussy cups you can empty with one gulp). Yet I can make myself fall asleep at any time (especially during the early afternoon) if I wanted to.

I sleep like a dat nab isomniac since coming to mexico, people on the streets banging around making noise yelling down streets for someone to buy whatever crap they're selling until midnight (which wouldn't be a problem unless you're me, who wakes up for work at 6:30). Then there's the car alarms that go on for 20 minutes at a time, coupled with the 6 a.m. wake up call by this little piece of crap on a bike ringing a handbell that ushers in the morning shift of the megaphone armed street vendors. Why does he ring the bell, nobody knows. And of course, did I mention the mosquitos that keep me company?
And for whatever strange reason, people here honk the horn. Nonstop. For any reason whatsoever. It doesn't help that I already hated carhorns before coming down here

Now its time to spill the beans.

After i tried the brown sugar and milk teqnique which i got from my specialist, it worked and i felt great. When i visited her afterwards she spilled the beans.

Insomnia is a state of mind. Nothing more. There is no physical forms of insomnia, it is only mental. The milk does help, but the brown sugar has no effect what-so-ever. I told you that it did, and you believed it because you WANTED to believe it. Your mind accepted the belief that it works, therefore it did work. Your mind is a powerful gift and you should be glad you have it. You have proven to yourself that you can sleep fine, you just now have to learn to control your mind and allthough it takes time, you will do it. Wether you like it or not, i have taught you a lesson that i hope you will remember in the future..

Hope i helped you guys,
regards

I hate the taste of milk. The brown sugar helps cover it. Plus the warm milk has a (mild) effect anyways, so it's not useless to me Wink

Interesting dude, thanks

maybe thats why I sleep like shit
I drink alot of Coke and coffee and I smoke - which I hear hinders sleeping too
Im gunna try the milk thing and no coke thing tonite and I'll let u know how it works

I seriously think Im on the verge of breaking down cuz over the past month or 2, ive slept maybe 3 hours a nite...and I work hard for a living, not some office job where I sit in a chair and stare at a computer all day....not that office work isnt hard and stressful, its more mental than physical. Im a structural steel welder so i deal with lots of heavy, hot shit on a daily basis.


I'm with you man.
I work over 50hrs/week and very physical and like me, i'm sure you know the feeling when you have insommnia and there's like 2 hrs left before goin g up for work (i wake up at 5am)... I'll try the milk and sugar thing.. but isn't brown sugar very energic ? that's not what they use in pepsi and stuff ? Need confirmation on that...

thanks

Funny u should mention that...I like my alone time and shit ya know? I'll work hard, i also get up at 5am btw, sometimes 6am depending on work load that week. Anyway I like to chill for a few hours with my buds after work and then watch a couple of movies, play some videogames etc I'll go to bed like at 11pm or 12am, wake up around 3 knowing i have to get up in 2 hours and wont be able to fall back asleep..like, i will fall back asleep but i'll wake up every 20 mins or so and look at the clock..then I start thinking about all the shit i have to do..Im a supervisior but the shop changed hands and i've been put in charge of the new division and no one knows how to do my job...so I gotta build all the sample shit, makes jigs, then teach 5 or 6 ppl under me how to do the job

sucks Sad

hey what you have to do is call yourself sick for 3 weeks or so so you can LEARN again how to sleep longer than 4 hours, its just an mather of relaxing ,I sometimes have the same problem then i call my job and tell them i am sick and then the whole fucking day i am going gaming or watch movies relax then i can sleep very good sometimes you still wakeup in the beginning but after some days you wakeup a little later .and before you know it you sleep 12 hours damn i can assure you that you will feel like superman ,at least thats how i feel if i sleep 12 hours . Smile most days i try 9 or 10 hours sleep at night., lesser then 6 hours almost kills me . whats also important is that you go to bed the same time ,and stand up also exactly the same time every day .

I cant do that highstuff

Im the boss first and for most and like The Damned, if Im not there, there is a load of work my guys will have to keep pace with....cuz we have to work as a team or the job will be fucked...

3 weeks off...? are u fuckin nuts man? Wink I'd be fired in a minute
What i need is get the Doc to write me off for a week so I can catch up on sleep and other shit...cuz basically, from 5am-4pm (+ overtime) during the week Iam busy, and when I get home, I chillout...I dont have any energy left to do shit, especially in the summer. Its not bad doing some mig (welding) in a shop with fans, but trying being up on a highrise stick welding (different than mig) in joist's and support beams and shit. + after lunch Ive prolly had about 4 beers so Im even more tired Wink lol U'd think being a foreman, I'd get to chill...heh, not in my job Smile And I work with alot of assorted ppl...on my crew, I have like 3 pakistani's (happy Jenni? lol last time I do it Smile ), 3 newfies, an asian dude, a russian dude and a heritage front dude (white supremisist)....but he's on his way out, starts wayyy to much shit with the non-white ppl lol. Can't have conflict on the job ya know? So were gunna be short handed and there is enough work with a full crew...no time off for me till the snow starts to fall and I move back into the shop for the winter Smile
