this is very, very depressing. it's 05:02 a.m here and i'm
supposed to get up in about...three hours. thing is, i've
completely fucked up my diurnal rhytm (thank you
dictionary), and i have exams in three days (begins @ 9 am).
that's my problem right there. i'm a dead man.

am I the only one?

Well, I just went through a year of hell at school as well.
Many times when I was stressed I used St. John's Wort -
(herbal thing) - to chill out a bit. Don't know if it's
available in Norway, but it helped me a little. Good luck.

damn, i'm spending my 3rd day with an hour of sleep, it's a
bit weird i don't want to sleep at all, is it dangerous? :O

i guess your brain could just burn as a cpu that's
overclocked

that's why we have plan B!

your brain should shut down soon, not a big deal, but your
body does kinda take the hint and force you to sleep.

insomnia, well, I've heard it's fucking awful, get help for
it straight away.

I'm not a fan of prescription drugs, but get some so you can
get some sleep.

what a stupid statement to make. You obviously don't suffer
from insomnia.

I am an on/off inmsomniac ever since I had the Itch. The
best cure for it I find is regular exercise. It may be a
chore but it relaxes you and tires you physically. I tend to
go running every 2-3 days and I try to eat properly. Also,
don`t stay online too late or watch TV as that can keep you
awake as your head is polluted with images and sounds etc

My solution: go in foetal postition and hold something soft
( like a cushion ) against your stomach. My insomnias always
involve a harsh stomach pain.

Smoke weed. No caffeine at all in your diet. No pasta etc.
Umm that's about it that i know of. I could sleep in til 3pm
and be asleep again by 11pm or so if i don't have any
caffeine and think constently that i want to be asleep by
around 11ish. Just examples btw.

I stayed up til about 6am this morning and had to be at uni
by 9. So i only got ~2 hours sleep. But i don't mind it
infact. I like night better. I seem to be a lot more aware
and energetic so i accomplish more like uni work etc.

Don't drink any coffee/eat chocolate,
Long gentle exercise (like slow swimming for a couple of
hours),
Breathing exercises before you sleep,
"Light reading" like a magazine last thing before bed-
nothing you'll stay awake and think about like
philosophy/physics/religion etc.
