Going Crazy from the Lack of Sleep

lesbiassparrowSeriously, if this insomnia lasts much longer I will be certifiably insane and posting wank like there's no tomorrow.
Today I wrote up the perfect wanktastic post: pompous, filled with snotty rage, containing CAPSLOCK OF RAGE, and just about everything else you could imagine. It was like the perfect storm of wank. Luckily sanity kicked in and I made it private and then later deleted it.
But if this continues I will not be able to stop myself. Wank will be posted! All I'm asking is please do not take it seriously if it occurs. I will be suitably ashamed of myself once I get more than four hours sleep a night.
Anyone got any cures for insomnia apart from drinking yourself into a stupor? Because I've tried that one and it is not working so well.

My husband and son, who both have insomnia problems from time to time, take it, sleep better, and don't feel zombie-ish in the morning. My husband won't sleep in a strange hotel bed without it.
It smells like dirty sweat socks even in capsule form, but it works.

Date: 2006-05-11 10:44 pm (UTC)I asked the same question here and got some good advice (though how far it worked for me (and not) is also obvious from the comments).
Hmm, insomniac wank might be fun to read... No no, you're good for resisting.

Somebody set up us the wank

You are on the way to destruction.
You have no chance to fall asleep make your time.

Re: Somebody set up us the wank
Date: 2006-05-12 08:30 am (UTC)Anyway, the rant that I'm not ranting about is people who bring fluff expectations to a dark show. There exist fluff shows. Go watch "Seventh Heaven". Go watch "Sleepless In Seattle". But don't watch a show which is often concerned with death and loss and despair and then complain and/or write fix-it fic when there are emotional complications.
This is not "Bringing Up Baby", nor was meant to be.

Date: 2006-05-12 08:31 am (UTC)Note: I *like* Bringing Up Baby.
Re: Somebody set up us the wank
Date: 2006-05-12 09:02 am (UTC)I don't actually care if people on shipper communities want fluff and happily ever after, though it's not something I particularly want to read or think that the show will deliver. I figure that's what they're there for and if you're expecting a shipper community to be all happy about one part of a couple snogging another person, then you've missed the point of a shipper community. It does become a problem if a) shippers go wild elsewhere and go to war on every website, journal, community devoted to the show and b) if people expect the shippers to defy human nature and embrace the opposite of what they watch the show for.
Though, dear god, I do not want to see babyfic! Though it's inevitable given that apparently two people who travel together must want marriage and babies above all else. And babies apparently cure all problems in a relationship! This is why I do not read those sort of stories.
And I like Bringing up Baby too.

Date: 2006-05-12 09:06 am (UTC)I'm just looking forward to Cybermen, myself. Plus not being hit over the head with the lonely theme. I think I may have earned an episode where someone doesn't explictly point that out about the doctor.

Four hours sleep is infinitely better than none. Maybe try varying something, see if it helps?

Date: 2006-05-12 07:46 am (UTC)It was about Doctor Who of all things! I can't believe I would wank over Who, much as I love it! It's a total betrayal of my childhood and it feels akin to wanking over the Wombles.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-12 11:39 am (UTC)Doctor Who is easy to wank about, these days. Because there are these factions involved, and it's rather interesting to see.
The childhood thing would be a tiny bit weird for me. *grin* Like creating wank over Chrestomanci stories or something. Eep.

Date: 2006-05-12 07:54 pm (UTC)It's so obvious that Chrestomanci's real lover is Tacroy. Millie is just a beard, there to fool the homophobic High Council.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-12 08:37 pm (UTC)But Millie is his stability for being ordinary. She keeps him grounded, otherwise he would be more than insufferable, and they are good friends. Hmm. Also Tacroy has Ms Rosalie.
Millie/Christopher/Tacroy/Miss Rosalie - there. OT4.

Date: 2006-05-12 12:15 pm (UTC)New Who has been a whole new experience for me. First I find out I think the Doctor is hot (CE, your sins are heavy for this!), then I read fic because suddenly I am all 'he and Rose are so doing it!' and now there is wank. WHERE WILL IT ALL END?

CE is weirdly hot, yes. And his mannerisms were brilliant.
It will all end in tears, yes. :P
