Oh, almost forgot what used to keep me up. Leg cramps are so much better than an undiagnosed fungal infection in my lungs. Before treatment, I wasn't actually sleeping, even when I was unconscious. My doctor says that my system was so depleted that if I'd actually gone into a deep sleep I might not have woken up again.

Anything at all. Any little noise. My dog's breathing. Too many thoughts going through my already over-crowded brain.
I must take either a melatonin, or Advil PM in order to get to sleep.
Staying asleep is a different story altogether....

Work.
Which reminds me, time to get ready...

Lately, I'm feeling stressed because I want to start this comic for the forum..I have had a few mnoths and I only have three pages drawn.
Why? It's not because I'm lazy. It's because I kept scrapped the 10 pages I originally drew because I hated them.

Reddit. Dragon Age Origins. Any book close at hand. The awesome videos thread. Porn. Knowing that when I get to work, I will more likely than not have nothing to do. But hey, I quit playing WoW, so that's one thing off the list.
Troubling thoughts or the fellow's snoring... or waking up really hot. I'm incredibly warm-natured, but I also have to have a heavy blanket on top of me when I sleep. It's a security thing I've never been able to get over. Hence, I wake up 2-3 times a night to wash my face.

The crushing realization that we amount to nothing on this little dirt ball orbiting an unremarkable yellow star in the vast emptiness of the cosmos. A meteor could come along and utterly destroy us and the universe would not even take notice. Everything would continue on as it had before. There would be no pause to mourn a lost race. All of our art and beauty and grace would be wiped away in the blink of a cosmic eye and no one would care.
Which is why I usually watch tv until I fall asleep.

I have to have a heavy blanket too. I usually end up kicking it off during the night, but it's hard to fall asleep without one.
For me it's usually unanswered questions. I tend to obsess about them, and I can't shut my brain off. So I end up tossing and turning for hours.

It warms my heart that this thread has gone this far without the response of "Your Mom."
Stargazing and sharp elbows from my wife keep me up at night.
You are likely waking yourself up with sleep apnea. If anyone you know that has heard you snore LOUDLY, and jerk awake, see a Doctor.

No, it's not sleep apnea, since I only do it as I'm falling asleep (the first 10 minutes) and sitting up slightly. If I'm laying on my back or side properly I have no problems and get a full nights sleep except for when the seasons change, where I get my bouts of insomnia.
I literally hear myself snore.
Back when I lived in the duplex with two room mates they had a joke that I could be woken up by a mouse eating cheese on the other side of the place.

I wish there was a way to sleep professionally, because I'd be all up in that shit, yo.

Tonight and tomorrow night, it'll be work keeping me up.
I love sleeping and I do it often but any institution that would monitor my sleeping merit would say that I'm doing it wrong.

Too much sleep during the day.

The extreme fire danger in my neck of the woods and that there are wild fires in my county and two adjacent ones.

Lately I can't fall asleep without watching or hearing something, I always leave a Friends episode on my computer in the background or something... I don't know, those minutes lying in bed before you actually fall asleep are kind of scary at the moment.
I know that feeling. I like having noise on, too... mostly when I'm home alone. I put on some music or a show/movie that's so familiar that it's easy to ignore.

Yeah if I'm home alone tv has to be on. If kids or wife is here I'm fine but if not I'm asleep in front room with tv on because I don't like the dark if I'm all alone
I could not sleep last night due to all the rain... second measurable rain in 7+ months.
I told my co-workers that I was late this morning because I spent 10 minutes dancing naked in the rain...

Well I must not be the only person in Texas happy for rain here then!

One time a fart that sounded like Michael Clarke Duncan's voice woke me up. It didn't come from me.

Was it the fellow or a stalker?

Cajungal
Thankfully, it was the fellow. We were actually reminiscing about it last night and laughing hysterically. We wake each other up so often, it's gotten funny. I elbow him in the stomach when I roll over or shove my butt into his side, and he snores and groans a lot.

Man, did I have a weird dream last night... something about an entrance exam into an Irish university, followed by a prawn festival where I kept running into David Caruso, who was a very nice person off-camera. And then getting lost in a hospital where in one locker room there was a squad of heavily armed soldiers of fortune gearing up.
Oh, and I think I discussed the taste of prawn with Morgan Freeman. According to him, kingprawn tastes like veal.

Since yesterday was the first decent rain in 8 months, they dug out of the mud and started getting it on last night. When I stood on the back porch that overlooks the lake, the croaking was nearly as loud as a jet engine.

The day before yesterday it was the thunderstorm outside my window. This evening it was a zombie invasion dream. Think I drank to many coffee's and espresso's earlier today.
