sleep

[Buck]

I love the process of "falling asleep" so much that I actually set my clock to wake up a couple of times during the night . . . so I can fall back asleep.

It's a great feeling waking up and realizing, "Hey, I don't have to get up yet."

To me, that sounds like a healthy person using a wheelchair for fun.

I sleep from midnight to 7 or 8 a.m. I have a 4-year-old daughter, though I've found the idea of children hindering sleep to be incredibly overrated. Even when she was 6 months old, she slept like a ... baby. Never a problem.

I've been averaging about five hours of sleep a night since making the switch to a p.m. paper.

Something -- either my sleep cycle or this gig -- needs a radical change.

The sleeping thing can be a real challenge.
I wake up every hour or two and half to read for half an hour or so. Plus I snore.
Makes me a bad sleeping companion.
Previous girlfriend was a teeth grinder. It was unbearable. I used to leave the bedroom.
One before that was a clingy sleeper.
Sleep can be a difficult balancing act.

Is it me or is this the ultimate pointless "I must tell you about my life" SportsJournalists.com thread?

I guess it's proof there really is a community here, not just a series of rancorous debates.

No, there have been much worse ones.
There was one about *ss-wiping techniques.

You thought otherwise? ???

Well, no. But this was a reminder.

Of course, I'm posting on this thread too. ;D

I'm in bed for 12 hours, sleeping between 10-11.

That's a lot of sleep ...

I usually go to sleep around sunrise and sleep until 2 p.m. However, I wake up at least 8-10 times every night. I rarely sleep more than two-three hours at a time, and the closer I get to waking up for the day, the more frequent the intervals, every 20-30 minutes.

No, this is at least the fourth time on this board that I've continued a Live-jack. They'll never get old to me. ;D

And to continue the 'jack, the reason they're still so good in concert is because they generally play intimate venues now, where all the fans are diehards like me who know the words to every song on every album, and Ed doesn't have to sing a damn thing if he didn't want to; he could just hold the mic out to the crowd and we'd supply the rest.

I always leave their shows feeling so uplifted. Especially with the way they always end their shows ...

Love me some Live. Saw them first in 1995 at Memorial Gym in Nashville. Horrible place for a concert, but did sit in the same row as Winona Ryder, who was dating Ed at the time. Good show, if only because they played a ton of stuff off Mental Jewelry (including Mirror Song, my personal favorite). After swearing off CDs during college after my collection was stolen, I still made sure to re-purchase Mental Jewelry (along with REM's Automatic for the People and Nirvana Unplugged) -- I could listen to that thing 20 times on a cross country trip and never get tired of it.

I've noted a couple of things about my sleep habits.
When I had a live-in, or long-term guest, I generally mirrored what she did. If she was in bed when I got home, I went to bed and woke up with her. Maybe I'd work in a little nap after she left for work. If she was up, I'd stay up until we both went to bed together.
When I didn't have a sleep-over party, and working nights, I generally didn't get to bed until 3 or 4 in the morning, if that. Last call is at 5 in these parts. Then up by 10 or 11 each day. Nothing sucked more than working late desk, then sleeping until 2 and being back at work at 3.
Now that I work days, I have  trouble falling asleep, old habits die hard. But when I do, I usually sleep pretty solid.

"The Beauty of Gray" indirectly inspired my tattoo.

Do you have a picture of Spaulding Gray tattooed on your ass?

 

[buckweaver]

No, but I have a tramp stamp with a picture of Pete Gray swinging with one arm. ;D

Yesterday, I woke up because I had to go to the bathroom. Because I seem to have a knack for picking just the right time to do this, somebody else was in the bathroom when I was downstairs. I sat and waited about 5-10 minutes, went, then went back to bed and it took me about 90 minutes or so to get back to sleep.
I would have been better off if I just stayed up.

yeah, so? ;D

haven't you ever wondered if what you did was different than what others did? not that i would be crushed if i found out my sleep habits were totally out of whack with the rest of society but it's interesting to find these things out. i have real-life friends but it's not like i can gather them all in one place and ask them about their sleep habits.

Until February, sleep was hit or miss for me, especially since I was still adjusting from the night shift at a newspaper lifestyle (home by 1 or 2 a.m., asleep until 9 or 9:30) to a regular 9-to-5 non-newspaper lifestyle.

But I began taking anxiety medication and I sleep fine now. My head is clear and no jumble of thoughts muddling everything.

I run these streets all day, I can sleep when I die.
