4. I dunno.

I slept for about four hours then my eyes shot open and I was wide awake.

9. OK, I'll Tell Ya Pisses Me Off When I'm Sleepy

Nagging thoughts of job crap, piddly thoughts of what happened that day, and the usual thoughts about what the fck is the entire stupid human race is thinking and why the fck do I have to have anything to do with it!

10. That works.

Is that why you're awake in the middle of the night?

11. No, I Can Sleep Until 9 or 10

At which point, I have to get up to trade the S&P 500 from my own account, staring at my own computer, making my own crappy decisions and, be a part of the same BS world that all of us capitalist liars take part in everyday.

If we try to escape, only money will buy our temporary freedom. If we then have the money, only deception continues the idea that our money is more worthy that others.

It's hard to sleep knowing how the world works.

13. Well, I may be young, and I'm sure there is still much for me to learn

but I know a lot as it is so far and I can still usually sleep. Not tonight, though.

6. Yeah and neither can I.

Get used to it. I did....pussy.

Just kidding. I'm a natural insomniac. I hear other people find it a problem. Don't go by my sleeping patterns...ever.

8. At least you've had a chance to get used to it.

My silly ass is used to being asleep by 11pm. :P

14. I see.

Neither of those things was ever a problem before, though my feet sometimes hang off the end of the bed. :P

19. It's all right though

I was up late last night for a good reason and at least tonight my inability to sleep is giving me a good chance to feed my ipod some new stuff. :) It helps that I only have one really important thing to do tomorrow and it doesn't have to be done early.

Hope you manage okay tomorrow.

22. I gave ZombieN this little tip for insomnia:

It's ideal if you have a friend/spouse/partner that can help you,

but self inflicted is also possible.

23. I will sleep better

knowing this.

No, wait, now I am going to feel guilty for being able to sleep. I have had some times when it was difficult and many other times when I did not have enough time to get enough. The latter is more of a problem for me. If I cannot sleep I just get up and read or write until I am tired or do some quasi-meditation (close my eyes and count my breath in sets of ten).

25. No need to feel guilty about being able to sleep.

I usually make up a little story in my head. That's worked since I was a kid, but not today. I'll be giving it another shot at about 3:30, my time. Lets all hope it works this time.

30. You poor dear.

Can I sing you a lullaby?

That would probably makes things worse though.

32. Then a lullaby from me would probably be a good thing.

That would get anybody going p.d.q.
