3. I had a paper to write

and, of course, waited until the absolute last moment to do it -- I'm not sleeping now because I'm at school and there's really nowhere to sleep -- won't get home until around 9

10. When I was in school, computer cluster was good for sleeping

or student union TV room. Have another coffee, I guess.

11. Do you think you're a humming bird of some kind yet?

I hear that kicks in at 72 hours. You probably have a ways to go.

14. Why, under the circumstances, are you on DU?

Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 01:15 PM by KamaAina

Wouldn't zzzzzzzzz.com be more suitable right now?

15. I'm still at school...

and I have to be to turn in the paper that I stayed up all night writing at 6 -- since I don't really care for sleeping in public places, I'm going to tough it out until class is over

16. What is worse?

What is worse in your opinion, not getting any sleep at all and having to get something done or being woken up every hour or half hour of the night and being up for about 15-20 minutes each time?

I ask this just because I commiserate with you, I have a 5 month old baby and for the past two nights I am up at 10, 10:30, 11, 12, 12:40, 1:20,.....all the way till 5:08 this morning and my alarm is set at 5:30am. And then tonight I have to go to a local Dem forum from 7-9pm. I hope tonight my son will sleep better.

Hope you get lots of zzzzzs shortly.

17. I think probably your situation is worse

I'd much rather not try to sleep than try to sleep and not be able to do so -- good luck, hope you get to sleep better soon

19. 29 hours?

You need to get some rack time in. Even if it's only one or two hours. If you can't sleep, try taking a shower, if you can. There's nothing like a shower to refresh you during times when sleeping is not an option.
