BEYOND TIRED
For me, the stages of EXHAUSTION usually end in being completely irrational. Isn't it funny that the more exhausted you get, the less you want to sleep? Or is that just me? I've never been a good sleeper. Actually - a fairly bad one. I have an awful case of FOMO, mixed with insomnia, mixed with almost unlimited energy.
I mean... I kinda
WANT to sleep. But in my mind, I have so much to catch up on. And I think I NEED to get it done. Nevermind the fact that my brain is no longer functioning. Nevermind the fact that sleep would actually help to clear the fog, and make me somewhat EFFECTIVE again.
Nevermind that you've fallen asleep for the fourth time in that DM and now you're ACTUALLY typing nonsense words in your sleep. (Sorry about that
@andysantics48 LOL I still don't know what that sentence meant. hehehehe Sorry also to
@kchitrah and your dose of nonsense Dreemie on VOICE and to
@bluefinstudios who had the privilege of BOTH text and voice nonsense Dreemie. lolol)
I laugh... and I sigh... and I worry a bit because - it seems I'm more nonsense, more emotional, more scattered, and more frazzled than I have been in a while. I think it comes down rest. And I'm sure my schedule isn't helping much.
And when all is said and done, and I should be asleep. I'm not. 90% of the time, I honestly would rather be awake and delirious... than asleep. Does anyone else get this way?
Or am I the only sleep-deprived delusional zombie in the Steemiverse.
Ah Mrs - you're not alone - 2 weeks into being here I was ready to drop, having stayed up rather a lot to chat with you guys over the other side of the world. Mix in lots of real-life stresses and strains, and zombification ensues. I become like a 2 year old and practically have to be sent to bed with no internet connection or any other distractions ;)
I have given your post a wee boost... in the hope you can get some calming teabags or lavender oil of your bath to send you to sleep :)
E x
oh thank you my sweet wild swim girl! <3
and yes - i'm so the same way. actually - the other day i was kinda BEHAVING like a 2 year old. having a tantrum and saying - NO. i don't want to get off - i have things to do!!!! LOLOLOL
i have the loveliest lavender bath salts... but you know what i do? i don't put them in my bath... i just inhale them hehehehehehehe
love you @eveningart! love our friendship hehehehe
Love you too my sleepy princess ;) I'm exactly the same... "ooh lovely things that will help? Nah! Bring on more screen-time" :) :)
Be careful and gentle with yourself, won't you? Loads of love, E x

You are the funniest human being, getting a big chuckle out of me even as I'm going through a sad and difficult time. Thank you for that, Dreemie, I knew I could count on you ;) I wish I was a bit more like you. I love to sleep and all my life, I wished I had a bit more energy. You rock, girl!
How are you doing? Traveling well? I think its good that you're sleeping - you need to keep as much energy as you can for the next phase of life.
but..... glad to make you giggle during a sad time <3 Love you Drazzy!

I don't know how many times you fell asleep while I was talking to you???? I kept saying go to bed dreem but Noooo you weren't tired lol
i didn't FEEL tired. until they QWERTY keys were imprinted on my skull from my head slamming the keyboard so hard. hahahahahahahahaa
We call that fishing around these parts.. when you're so tired that yout head is bobbing!!! Hahaha My poor Dreemie!!! Your body will only let you get so far on such little rest. When the keys are imprinted on your forehead I think that could be a sign lol
@dreemsteem to start off, you are a rare breed that totally has a way with words that binds so many people together.
Running long days with little sleep, I feel that and I know many people have similar experiences - it is especially hard for those of us in Europe like myself and @saffisara because when we should be asleep a large portion of Steemit is wide awake and it is so tempting to engage when everyone else is online.
You are not alone, many of us push the boundaries of our lives to stay active commenting and engaging posts - I personally don't see it as a chore I enjoy reading the posts and more importantly telling the content creator what I enjoyed from their work.
#thealliance #witness
and this is why we all love you @c0ff33a :)
because you take the time to make each one of us feel special!!!!
I can imagine how hard that would be to be "awake" when you should be "asleep"!!! LOLOL i feel that all the time hehehehehee
and yes - these next few weeks will be tricky for me and my schedule, but I'm just gonna push through and do what I do best.
(apparently that is speak nonsense to people in a very delirious state)) hahahahahahaah
It's 2.36am, I'm asleep because I have to get up in 4.5 hours...please leave your message after the Beep.......
LOLOLOL me thinks this message is not really automated ;)
Snores Loudly
LOLOLOL you better have your phone turned off and not be responding to messages right now Sir! LOLOL
sleep, little mug of @c0ff33a
turn of the phone. no notifications... sleeeeeeeeeeep hehehe
lolololol, you should really get some sleep honey. Sure you are funny but still, GO TO BED!!! 💚
i slept for almost 8 hours last night!!!! hehehehehee hoorayyyyyyyyyyy
now.... i'm WIIIIIIIIIIIIDE awake ;)
I can relate to a lot of that, though not the unlimited energy. I can get to a "tired but wired" state very easily if I don't watch out. Exhausted but can't sleep. I've never been a good sleeper, but much worse since menopause. But I have done a lot of work on it, and now sometimes sleep 5 or 6 hours without waking, gasp! I think the tart cherries are helping. But the stumbling block is wanting to. One of my kinesiology colleagues once tested that most parts of me didn't actually want to sleep. :-(
yessssssssssss i think MOST of my body does NOT want to sleep! they all just go on strike and refuse!
I've seen its easier to let them get exhausted and then finally go to bed rather than fight with them. There is nothing worse than laying in bed... fighting a body that says NO I WILL NOT SLEEP AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! hahahahahaha
what do tart cherries do?
They contain natural melatonin. I put them with some cashews which have tryptophan (which eventually converts to melatonin), magnesium for relaxation, and carbs to keep blood sugar stable overnight. I did a post a couple of days ago. Once I get to sleep, they do seem to keep me asleep a bit longer.
But you need something more heavy duty to address the not wanting to sleep! Check this out
and there are lots of other vids on Havening as well.
Oh no, I missed my chance to upvote....and no it wasn't because I fell asleep hahahahaha!!!
As funny as it is....I do worry for you, more than you know. But, I get it.....I have been a terrible sleeper. Only now am I changing and allowing that time into dreemland with open arms.
But oddly, I can do that thing you do in mid sentence as my brain temporarily takes leaves without announcement and I'm left trying to figure out what the heck I was saying it doing....having 50 things cooking simultaneously in the back of the mind doesn't make for a very effective me....I literally spend 5 minutes in the morning walking around looking for my glasses....forget I was looking for my glasses, do something else....and then wonder what I was upto in the first place!!!!
Lol.....oh my love....I totally understand. Lol!!!!
Hope you get some rest soon
