Us young'ns get what we can when we can and we keep it stashed for special occasions. Besides, I'm at home not on campus now. I cant have 48 beers crammed into my fridge here lol

Two more years though....

Its not so much worry as it is annoyance that I'm waisting perfectly good daylight.

Its better than yelling about not being able to find my glasses or hear what people around me are saying out of senility

No not quite yet. I just ***** about my sex life (like yours is any better Arin) and I do complain about my back. But crap it hurts sometimes. No glasses here, in fact 20/12 vision.

My wife would say I don't listen to her though, but thats selective hearing.

I've read TV and computer are actually bad for trying to fall asleep, because you're staring at a light, and your brain thinks it's the sun or something like that.

the best thing to do is to wake up really early one morning and DO NOT NAP untill it is time to go to bed. Do that for a few day and then by about 11pm you'll be searching for a pillow...happened to me too.

Arin I want to switch with you.
As an older gentleman, I can now sleep almost anywhere, anytime.
I'm fine when I am working hard or driving or playing sports or computer games.
If you sit me in a quiet corner and tell me to wait a minute, please give me a pillow.
I gets to be a problem. One of the running jokes at work is me.

"Did Karman stay awake for that meeting", must have been a good one then.
My boss makes it a point of giving me assignments where I don't have to sit in one place too long.
When I am not at work it is not much better.
Aunt Zelda is telling us for the 3rd time about her trip to Hawaii, my eyes close automatically.
It doesn't matter how loud the movie theater is, if the movie is boring...NAPTIME.
Arin can we trade problems somehow?

You know, on second thought, I don't mind my insomnia as much now

I think I've solved another part of the puzzle. I don't have classes right now, so I'm not getting the sleep I would usually get during the day, which is why the 3am bedtime results in long **** sleeps

How about getting a job while school is out? I know I have a hard time staying up past 11 when I have to get up at 6 every morning. Plus it will give you some more money in your pocket. I make my kids work in the summer, cuz I won’t let them sit on their ***** all day doing nothing. They need the money anyway so they can pay for gas, car insurance, cell phones and all the other extra stuff they like to do.

Dang!
That sounds like me.
In addition, no matter how early or late I go to bed, I'm waking after (at max) five hours of sleep.
I don't have a problem falling asleep, I have a problem staying asleep.
Even on days off.

I'd love to sleep in occasionally.

I wonder if my lack of sleep during the year is catching up to me, even though I get a good bit of sleep now, sometimes I still doze off during the day
