I'm currently trying to break the record of my longest continuous sleep of 24 hours that I set last summer. So far I have made it 14 hours as my longest, but things are looking promising

I hate sleeping that long, makes you feel like shit afterwords.

The longest I can stand to sleep is 10 hours but I don't even like sleeping that long.

gogo ambien. and hey, even if it doesnt help you break your sleep record, you might wake up to some interesting stories being told about you

I don't like getting even 7 hours of sleep, but then I have had insomnia on and off for years now. 14 would put me in a coma.

shiftyfoo · « **Reply #8525 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:27:02 AM »

insomnia sucks... on my days off i can usually manage to stay up till 4 or 5 and sleep a full 8 hrs. if i sleep before 2ish though im usually up within 5 to 6 hours. not super bad once you get used to it, just not a whole hell of a lot to do between 5am and 8am :p

HazukiChan · « **Reply #8526 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:35:51 AM »

I go through periods where I get like 1-3 hours of sleep a night. That's not bad at first, but when it is
days in a row, I feel like a member of the undead. Maybe Alucard will have to come to kill me, to put me out
of misery.

and thats when you go out and run till you wanna puke. the caffeine binges are the worst though. when you just cant sleep, but the next day you still feel exhausted, but you have to be productive. ill snack on no-doz like candy, end up with a nasty case of the shakes, and you still cant sleep at the end of the day, rinse, repeat

Its funny. I was just thinking to myself "Damn, i really should goto bed." Then i read this here. Yeah ive stayed up 4 or 5 days straight a few times with perhaps maybe a hour or so of dozing off somewhere in there. Usually happens when theres alot of crap going on or theres alot on my mind. Usually too much to think about and keeps me awake.

AAARRRGGGGGG!!!! I hate spiders so much!!!!!!!!! The little bastards keep invading my room, already tonight 1 tried to walk over my mouse pad, until I threw him to the ground and viciously stomped like crazy, and now a second decided to peek out his head for just long enough for me to grab a sandal and get ready to obliterate when he decides to hide in the trim of my door, so now I'm gonna be checking the spot I saw it at every 5 minutes until I forget about it, then it'll show up again and shit will start flying!!!!!!

That kinda came out of nowhere. But whatever. Spiders don't bug me to much. As long as they stay away from me I leave them along but if they come near me they are dead.

I don't usually intake extra caffiene in order to compensate, but occassionally I will have a extra cup of coffee. And I have never had No-Doz.

Stress induced insomnia is one of the most common kinds- I forget the more technical name for it right now though as I am tired-laughs. It is 1:18 am here right now and I need to go to bed, but where am I? on box talking about insomnia- ohhh the irony.

That made me laugh

I don't mind some spiders like daddy long legs, but why can't they all stay outside??

Exactly, i don't came if they stay away, but at least once a week, (and now that its warm outside) once a day, some retarded spider decides to take a stroll through my room, in front of me, which is a death sentence. That isn't so bad, but when they decide to walk near/on my body, it drives me crazy. I know they don't have brains, but dammit, I even duct taped around the screen on my window, but they still manage to get in. Although the one spider never came out from under the door trim, maybe wailing on it with my shoe smushed it inside...spider glue?

How did you manage 24 hours in the first place. I couldn't even do that if I wanted to.

Spiders are annoying, but it's even worse when some of the spiders invading are deadly. My room at my parents house is in the basement and I have seen at least 2 black widow spiders camping out down there. They always seem to leave me alone, but it's a little unsettling to know that they are down there and could kill me in my sleep at any time.

Heh, it wasn't really planned. When I go home for the summer I don't have any work, I don't hang out with any friends or family, I really have no reason to wake up, so my sleep schedule turns into "sleep whenever you get a little tired and just never bother setting any alarms. Every night I slept a little longer and at different times during the day. Eventually I went to sleep one day and woke up thinking "HOLY CRAP! It felt like I slept forever, but I guess it was only about 10 minutes". Then I checked my calender and realized it was a full day ahead of what it was when I went to sleep. I was pretty baffled.

i slept for 27 hrs once after a huge weekend. i thought id only slept 3 hrs but then i realised i had lost an entire day. whats worse is, that i crashed on someone elses bed and basically stole it for an entire day.

For some reason I found that hilarious...sorry. But personally I'm more worried about centipedes than spiders, I dunno if the spiders I always find are poisonous but at least hundreds of them have come through my room in the last couple of years and never bitten me, so I'm fine. But I know a guy whose grandma died because a centipede went into her ear while she was asleep, layed some eggs and left, then the eggs hatched and started eating her brain...FROM INSIDE HER SKULL!!!!*shudders* That story freaks me out, and centipedes will occasionally wander in as well, if I even catch a glimse of one I will hunt it down until I know for sure it's dead, and preferable squishy.

cannot count the number of accidents ive almost caused because of spiders surprising me in the car and the need to kill them when such an event occurs

Aglaea · « **Reply #8538 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:05:35 PM »

We have ridiculous amounts of nasty spiders here. At least half of the ones I come across are freaking poisonous brown recluses. My father-in-law just got bit by one a week ago. They like to hang out in bathrooms too. So if there is any way for them to hang out in your towel, that's where they like to hang out. I have had a few close calls for that reason. That and I don't see very well when I am not wearing my glasses or contacts, so I don't always spot them until I put my hand next to one or something. It makes me cringe just thinking about it.

zorena86 · « **Reply #8539 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:43:46 PM »

Ugh! Me and spiders don't get along AT ALL! I have a low level of arachnophobia and hate it, have tried to over come the "fear" but always seem to back down like a lil girl...bah so pathetic

... But thankfully there aren't that many spiders in my household because my parents tend to keep up with the maintenance of the house in an attempt to prevent the uninvited guests.
