Not wanting to go to sleep

[Rolen]

I have a similar thing where I will take hours to fall asleep unless there is a TV or radio on in the background. Doesn't matter what it is or if i'm interested in the programme or not. I've found that if I sleep with a TV on all night I wake with a pretty bad headache. Anyone else? (Note, haven't read whole thread yet)

I've been playing poker for about 15 hours. It's 6 in the morning now and I still don't want to go to sleep. When I have nothing to do in the morning, I don't see the point when I'm running well...

I try to stop playing at a certain hour even if i'm playing/running well because it makes it much easier to stop when i'm not.

I just go to newsfilter and find some lovely ladies to fill my dreams with.








aka beat it before beat. makes me tired at least.

I've come to think of this as just a totally [censored] up psychological game.

When I know I have something important the next morning, I can't fall asleep.

When I know that going to sleep right now will make me miss out on something I wanna do, I can't stay awake.

When I want to shower or eat breakfast or get something done before i do whatever I have to do in a day, I can't convince myself to wake up.

Whenever I decide "[censored] it, I'm not going to class so i can sleep," I always end up lying in bed awake for an hour and a half.

On the rare occasion when my sleep schedule works out well, my life is sooooooo much better. I find that it's basically impossible to overestimate the effect of a good sleep schedule on your mood, ability to perform at work/school/poker, personability, etc. Even my appetite is better when I've actually been sleeping well.

I agree with your Noah, a good sleep schedule is vitally important to a lot of daily activities.

I recommend you don't leave the TV on a channel that will be playing Lassie.

Seriously, some days when I wake up my first thought is "Man, I can't wait to go to sleep tonight."

Not wanting to go to sleep is basically the reason I started playing online poker and found 2+2. Basically the only time I would ever play when I started out was after 2 am when nobody was up and there wasn't much else to do besides go to sleep, which I didn't want to.

I have this problem too. In fact, I have been browsing this site for countless hours and should be sleeping. I often have trouble falling asleep even when I feel exhausted.

Does anyone else feel like their body and their brain are never on the same page wrt needing rest?
