I can't sleep

Luciana · January 12, 2017, 02:47:13 AM

My class starts at 9:30 (US Government woo hoo), and it's only 3:46

will I make it? I'll probably get in a car crash, though I am paranoid of driving if I am sleep deprived

just get in a car crash now so you don't have worry about it tomorrow when you're tired

Oh boy, I've driven while sleep deprived before. It wasn't fun.

If I can't go to sleep, laying in bed while listening to music usually helps. I've fallen asleep with my earphones still in my ears and my playlist still on.

That's what I always do, but yeah, wasn't happening. Tried every trick in the book.

Yes, even that before you ask.

Yet here I am, eating pizza.

Count your breaths and focus on having a slow and steady breathing rhythm. It'll help you drift off, hopefully.

Sorry we don't have a country that's only 30 feet wide to allow public transportation to be priority #1, let alone developed in the 1400's so everything is mushed together.

And now I'm sleepy, and class is in a few hours...

...

EH, fuck it. It's the first day, and all they do is go over the syllabus, aka "here is how I'll grade", and the same set of rules that apply for every other class.

Your problem is that you're laying awake at night thinking about me. I know it will be hard for you but if you stop that then you will get some sleep.

I arrive late.

If I were on time I would've told you to ditch the late night internet surfing. The light from computer/phone screens is disruptive to your brain when it comes to sleeping. The blue light emitted tricks your brain into thinking that it's not sleepy time and instead daytime.

You were only making it worse.

f.lux can help to partially prevent this effect.

Still not good to sit up until midnight if you're supposed to be up early... cough cough not like I do that or anything... cough cough.

read about neural network algorithms and nested cross validation

Try going to bed at 10 or 11 and wake up at 5:00 or so. That gives plenty of Internet time in the morning as well as time to wake up before class.

I've driven sleep deprived for years.I'm totally fine yet. I've been told it's arguably a worse idea than driving intoxicated though... which means I guess I'm good to drive drunk?

Ingy · January 12, 2017, 12:35:56 PM

Did you make it ok
