I bet they would too!!! Thanks for stopping by.:)
Great hub Evans, please keep it up!
I am such an insomniac. I'm up all night and sleep the majority of the morning.
I've been an insomniac from a young age, too. I stopped taking naps at four!! Though now I'm happy to take one if I have to. If I didn't have to eat or sleep, I could be doing more stuff...
Actually, I get visits from the old hag a lot. When it happens, which is usually at least twice a month, I wake up several times in short bursts but unable to move. My brain may be wide awake, but my body is still shut down.
You my friend need to slow down and relaxxxxx, I have been there done that, and eventually it will catch up.:)
AE I voted No on the question, because while I am sleep deprived and I also know that sleep deprivation is one of the highest forms of torture, and I know that affects all of my life I am in a position of being the only care give to my wife who has cancer, so I have no choice, but, those who do suffer from insomnia are in some ways in more need than I am I think, because my own lack of sleep in many ways is my loving choice, the others have not made the choice but suffer as much just the same. I feel there is almost nothing worse in an over all day to day situation than lack of sleep.
I'm a sleep deprived. Kids, dogs, stress, intelligence. I think I'm used to it.
Sandman: Even though your wife is not well, we all need some needed R&R as we have to stay healthy for our family or it isn't going to help them at all. :)
GT: I know how that goes ...lollololololo :)
Great information on insomnia. As an insomniac, I read everything that I can get my hands on about the issue!
girly_girl09: One of my closest friends has the same problem and sometimes I can honestly say I can also feel her pain, I am glad that you read about it and hoope that it helped. :)
It can be definitely be difficult at times, but recently it has come in handy when it comes to work and getting papers done for class. Probably the only benefit of insomnia is increased work productivity! haha
Now that I've found hubpages, I have something productive to do if I can't sleep! :)
Believe me when I say HubPages and anywhere else that you write becomes a wonderful addiction, I know I love writing and I am certainly addicted. :)
hi how are u ?
Mukund: I am fine thank you for asking. :)
yes it ok..
Well, not all time spent in the sack not sleeping is time wasted..I've read that an hour of good sex is worth two hours of sleep. I'll take there word for it - it's certainly better than counting sheep!
townart: That is definitely true, lololo :)
