insomnia

I fucking hate this shit! It's finals week and I'm way too psyched-up to sleep. I really want to be well-rested so that I can do good tomorrow on the essays I have to write by Friday, but I just can't calm myself down long enough to get to bed. And I slept three hours last night, not at all the night before.
I really hate missing this much sleep, I don't think it's good for me. But I'M JUST NOT SLEEPY AT ALL AND I'M NOT EVEN ON STIMULANTS
Today on the Shroomery I noticed that my sleep deprivation actually gives me some type of drunken-master type eloquent verbosity. I am too braindead to be concerned about the potential implications of what I say, so I say it all without hesitation, fairly clearly. Should I just give to sleep and focus my temporary insanity on writing these essays?

Pick up a novel. Read until you fall asleep. This is a good way to relieve your mind of the obsessing about finals.

I know what you mean, I am a clinically diagnosed insomniac. It sucks. I've had it since I was a baby, my mom told me that I never slept as a baby WTF? Anyway, if you feel creative, I say go with it. Some of the most interesting ideas I have had have been in the middle of the night.

I have an interesting question. What the fuck causes insomnia? Sure, it can be caused by anxiety about some current event in your life, but that is not what I mean.
I go through these cycles where I will sleep fine for a few weeks or months and then I have terrible insomnia for a few weeks to months. But it is not stress related. As a matter of fact, there is no correlation with stress in my life and the amount of sleep I get. I've seen doctors and psychiatrists about it and they don't have an answer. Sometimes I can even take like 30 mg of ambien and still be wide awake. So, does anybody have any ideas? WTF?

I just ate a bunch of chicken and potatoes and washed it down with a beer, shit did nothing. I continue to be on some kind of endogenous crack.

I've actually been really good with my circadian rhythms lately, but this past week it has gone off the rails so fucking ridiculous. It only got worse when I took adderall the other afternoon forgetting that while the peak is only an hour longer than ritalin, the comedown is about a day longer than ritalin.
Again though, I suspect that I may be able to use sleep deprivation to my advantage. Concision is actually a PROBLEM I have with essays for school. I make the mistake of assuming the teachers are looking for syntactic grace and concision, when actually they're just looking for pages of meandering fluff. I can TOTALLY do that right now.

No NPR?
Yeah no, I don't mean to be defeatist but sleep is definitely not happening tonight. I'm just too excited about the fact that I'm about to clear out my GE and likely with a high GPA. I'm on the cusp of my fucking scientific career, guys.

I plan to ride the upcoming psychedelic wave in neurology and psychiatry like a fucking tiger, just FYI.
I know tigers don't surf, but just try to imagine it... isn't it great?
