the age old truth that an avg of 8 hrs of sleep has recently been updated and the new findings are that 6-7hrs is ideal.

Yes I heard that too. I still feel knackered if I sleep too long. It mongs me out for the rest of the day.

what pisses me off is that full time work is considered 8hrs...that's 1/3 of a day...then 8hrs fo sleep...and you factor in commuting...fucking corporate fucks!

yes I have heard this, and either its true, that too much sleep is just as bad as not enough, or they (tehehehe) are molding the facts to cut down the average life expectancy to handle over-population over a length of time. I love conspiracys :) anyone played Metal Gear Solid 2 ???

So do I...
I only sleep about 4... I'm addcited to sleeping pills as well, but they make me stay awake rather than fall asleep...I always thing it's a waste taking to sleep; they are best during the day as they totally fuck up your memory...
I had to laugh at old Peter Buck from REM blaming his recent Air Rage thing on a Zoplclone pill & wine... what a fucking lightweight...I get 28 a fortnight and they are generally gone in a day or 2...
Steer clear of Temazepham tho...I've got an old geezer who gives me his prescription for them and theres something about em that makes me shoplift...must of nicked about £300 quids worth of books over Xmas...but can't remeber a thing about it (other than it's piss easy to nick stuff from Bookshops)...
My current policy is to steer clear of shops when I'm on em now as I really can't trust myself not to nick stuff...
Woo...Today is confession day...I feel better already...

i used to shop lif hella when i was under 18, but when that day came, it was cold turkey for me...
now whenever i NEED to, for things that are outragously priced like razorblade refills, i can''t really because i'm afraid i lost my touch, get caught, and then thrown in jail...

I once tried to kill my landlords dog whilst off my face on E...
But killing a dog with a teatowel is not that easy....
I was doing it out the kindness of my heart tho as the dug had huge cancer lumps all over it and my landlord wouldn't take it to the vets (as he knew they'd take one look at it and put the fucker down...)...It had been like that for months and the poor fucker couldn't even walk downstairs anymore...
it died 2 weeks later anyway...
I never told him I'd tried to kill it tho...he would have chucked me out of the house...(He waited until I was an unemployed Smack head before doing that...;)..
So no, haven't killed anyone....

I'm like over 30 and I've never shoplifted before (too sacred of getting caught)...but get them tamazies down me neck and I'm a one man crime wave...
Fucking stupid really as I've got a good job, decent money and can afford to buy stuff anyway...so why I've started I really don't know...

Well, me, I'm thirty and have done a lot of shoplifting , but mostly candies etc. When I do, I steal from big, state owned shops, so the employees don't have to pay for what I steal. I used to work in several shops, and I had to pay for stolen stuff, it's common here. But lately, I stopped as I was on a brink of getting caught... I once stole black stockings...
BTW, that story about that dog is utterly bizzare: noble and disgusting at the same moment. U R one strange geezer...

Yeah, The dog tale was a little bizarre...
but not as strange as the house I lived in with a Doctor & 2 nurses...I ended up sleeping with em all, sometimes at the same time...that was really weird & things got very odd & slightly violent in the end: had to move out in the middle of the night with all my stuff in a Tesco trolly...
or the time me & JohnB (my old partner in crime) were walking from mine to his mums to get some Vodka at about 3:30 in the morning..we were speeding our nuts off & suddenly heard this huge explosion from about 20ft behind up...we went back and a car had crashed into the spot we were standing and a local bouncer I knew & 2 woman were lying there dying in front of our eyes with the police that had been chasing em swarming all over the place trying to prise the doors open...I often wonder whether I dreamt it but I go past the place everyday on my way to work and theres a little plague there saying Not Forgotten blah blah 1957-1998...
I could go on but I won't...needless to say I'm a weird shit magnet....

sex with all three of them! woah... my firend brags of having sex with like 4 other ppl at once, but the funny thing is that their all ugly street trash, from a little town i used to live in...so IF he did, it's not a big acomplishment...
and to add to the topic, the most ppl i've done at once were two best friends...it worked out perfectly, i was dating one, and the other was visiting her for the summer...plenty of 3sums for three months...then the firend left, and i dumped the original a few days after...
yeah, i'm mean...i get pretty angsty on a regular basis, so the comsic balance of karma is pretty much balanced...

Sleep is GOOD! I have insomnia...which used to bother me....but i learned from several good doctor's that some people just don't need a lot of sleep. I sometimes get between 4-5 of SOLID sleep.....not every night, but when i do it's grand. =0)
i refuse to take any sleeping med's because i don't like taking pills etc., addiction to anything terrifies me, so i deal with it on my own. i have found that i can get a lot done. i will always remember reading that albert einstein only needed 4-5 hours of sleep. knowing that made me feel comforted somehow. not because i'm and einstein, but because i'm not the only WEIRDO out there that doesn't sleep. tee hee =0)

That's good advice, LeCoeur...and I know I can make use of the time rather than lie in bed either waiting to go to sleep or wkaing up really early...
I so need to get my sleeping hassles under control...& I reckon that's the route to go...

Yeesh, on weekdays when I have classes, I go to sleep around 4, and wake up around 9, only 5 hours of sleep...
But now that I'm off for good, and my exams are in the evening and I don't have a job, I'll get lots of sleep. Sleep from 4 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon, 9 hours! Not bad.
